A Overton drainage engineer,
on call 24/7 with a clear price before we start.

Overton sits in the Test Valley about 10 miles from central Andover, just into Hampshire's RG25 postcode. It's a proper village, a mix of older brick cottages along the high street, some inter-war semis, and newer cul-de-sac development on the edges. A fair number of the calls we get here are from older properties with ageing pipework, but we also cover the newer estate housing where build quality can vary. It's a straightforward drive out on the B3400.

We come in along the B3400 through Whitchurch direction, which gives a good sense of how the village sits in the Bourne valley. The older cottages near the centre tend to have clay pipe drainage, some of it shared between neighbouring properties, which catches people out when a blockage affects two houses at once. The Test valley location means groundwater levels can be high in winter, and tree roots are a recurring problem in the Victorian and Edwardian streets. Overton's age range of housing means almost every job is different.

Most common Overton jobs

• Clearing blocked drains in older clay pipe systems serving Victorian and Edwardian cottages
• CCTV surveys to trace which property owns a shared lateral before any repair work starts
• Root ingress removal and pipe patching on tree-lined streets near the village centre
• Drain jetting on newer estate housing where grease and debris build up in shallower runs
• High groundwater investigation where low-lying gardens are backing up in wet winters
• Collapsed joint repairs on clay pipes showing their age in the older parts of the village
