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

Thruxton sits just off the A303, about five miles west of Andover, a proper village with thatched cottages in the older lanes and the racing circuit on the old airfield next door. Much of the housing is older and rural, and a fair share of it sits off the mains, so septic tank and soakaway calls come up here more than almost anywhere else we cover. We're usually there in ten to fifteen minutes down the A303, SP11 postcode, any hour.

We come in off the A303 at the Thruxton junction, past the circuit, which you'll hear before you see it on a race day. The lanes around the church are old, and old rural plumbing means iron pipework, tired stopcocks and long private drain runs out to a tank. Our honest take: if your Thruxton soakaway struggles every winter, that's the ground telling you something, not bad luck.

Most common Thruxton jobs

• Burst pipes and frozen pipework in older cottages
• Septic tanks backing up after a wet spell, and soakaways that have had enough
• No hot water call-outs, often an ageing boiler or immersion
• Blocked drains on the long private runs between house and tank
• Leaking outside taps and stopcocks that haven't been turned in years
