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

Stockbridge is a small, affluent Test Valley town sitting in the SO20 postcode, roughly 8 miles south of central Andover, about 15 minutes in the van on a clear run down the A3057. The housing stock is predominantly older, period properties, Georgian and Victorian terraces along the high street, with a mix of converted cottages and larger detached homes spreading out from the centre. We get called out here for blocked drains, slow-running waste pipes and deteriorating older pipework more than anything else.

The high street itself sits on a narrow valley floor with the River Test running close by, which means ground conditions are damp and the water table can be high. The older properties on and around the main street tend to have clay pipe drainage, some of it well over a hundred years old, with joints that tree roots find easily. We drive in via the A3057 from Andover. What's distinctive here is the combination of high groundwater and ageing shared sewer runs between terraced properties, which means one blocked drain can back up into several homes at once.

Most common Stockbridge jobs

• Root ingress cleared from clay drainage runs under period terraces
• Shared sewer investigations where a blockage is affecting multiple neighbouring properties
• CCTV surveys on older pipework prior to property purchase or sale
• Collapsed or cracked clay pipe sections repaired or relined
• High-pressure jetting to clear silt and debris from slow-draining kitchen and bathroom waste lines
• Drainage checks where rising groundwater near the Test is causing intermittent surcharging
