Drainage Services in Crowthorne

Crowthorne grew up in the nineteenth century around Wellington College and Broadmoor, on sandy, free-draining soils surrounded by pine forest. The sandy ground generally drains well, but tree roots from the surrounding woodland and mature gardens frequently find their way into older pipe joints.

The village mixes Victorian and Edwardian housing with clay drainage and later twentieth-century estates using concrete and plastic pipework with separate surface water systems. Loose sandy bedding means older pipes can settle and displace over time, creating dips that collect debris.

We begin each Crowthorne job with a CCTV survey to check for roots, settlement and cracked sections. High-pressure jetting clears blockages and root growth, no-dig lining repairs damaged pipework without heavy excavation, and percolation testing supports soakaway work on the free-draining sand.
