DRAINAGE SERVICES IN CORBY: 24/7 EMERGENCY DRAIN ENGINEERS
Much of Corby was built in a single post-war boom, which means a lot of the town shares the same era of drainage, and a lot of the same problems with it. Our engineers work right across Corby, from the original streets around Kingswood and the Lloyds to the newer homes at Oakley Vale and Great Oakley, and we understand how the older clay and pitch-fibre pipes here tend to fail.

24/7 EMERGENCY RESPONSE
Blocked Drain Right Now? We Can Be With You Within the Hour
Blocked drains never wait for a good time. When the toilet will not flush, the shower fills with dirty water, or the garden starts to smell after a downpour, you want someone local who can actually turn up, not a call centre reading from a script.
We are on call 24 hours a day, every day of the year. From Rushden we reach most of Corby comfortably, and every van is stocked with jetting, rodding and CCTV equipment to clear the blockage, inspect the line and prevent a repeat in a single visit.
✓ No call out fee
✓No weekend surcharge
✓ Fully equipped vans
✓ CCTV included

Common causes across Corby: because so many estates share the same post-war pitch-fibre and clay pipework, blockages here are often the early sign of a pipe that has bellied or deformed with age, alongside the usual fat, wipes and root intrusion out toward Weldon and Great Oakley.
-
What we leave behind: a working drain, a clean tidy site, a written job sheet and a recommendation if anything more serious was found.
-
What you pay: the price quoted when you book, with no add ons for working antisocial hours.
DRAIN INSPECTIONS
CCTV Drain Surveys for Homeowners, Buyers and Landlords

Because so much of Corby shares the same ageing pipework, recurring blockages here are often a sign of something structural rather than a one-off. A CCTV survey is the fastest, cheapest way to find out for certain, with HD footage we review with you on the spot.
We offer a focused drain report when you already know roughly where the trouble is, and a full home buyer survey for anyone purchasing in the town. Both include a digital video file, clear written findings and a fixed-price plan if repairs are needed.
✓ No excavation
✓ Digital video report
✓ Same day options
-
Buying in Corby: a lot of the town's housing dates from the steelworks era and the original drains are now well past their best. A pre-purchase CCTV survey shows you the real condition before you exchange, not after.
-
Recurring blockages in Corby: with so much ageing shared pipework, a drain that keeps blocking is usually structural rather than a one-off. CCTV shows whether the pitch-fibre has collapsed or simply needs jetting.
-
Insurance claims: we provide drainage reports compliant with most home insurance claim requirements.
NO DIG WHERE POSSIBLE
Drain Repairs and Lining: Fix It Without Digging Up the Garden
Pitch-fibre and old clay pipes are common across Corby, and both are prone to cracking, sagging and root intrusion. The good news is that most repairs no longer mean digging up the garden, because modern lining lets us fix the pipe from the inside.
Using cured-in-place resin liners, we form a smooth new pipe within the failed one, sealing out roots and halting further damage, usually inside a day. Where a section has collapsed too far to line, we dig carefully, replace it and make the surface good.
✓ Patch lining
✓ Full length liners
✓ Root sealing
✓ Written guarantee
-
Patch lining: a short resin patch positioned over a specific defect such as a crack or open joint.
-
Full length lining: creates a new pipe within the old one, often used for sections suffering from ongoing root intrusion.
-
Excavation repairs: where the pipe has collapsed beyond lining, we excavate, replace and reinstate the surface neatly.
RURAL AND OFF MAINS PROPERTIES
Septic Tanks, Treatment Plants and Pump Stations
Out beyond the town, around Weldon, Gretton, Cottingham and the surrounding villages, plenty of properties rely on septic tanks, treatment plants or pump stations rather than the mains. We empty, service, repair and install all of them.
Slow drains, gurgling, foul smells or sewage surfacing usually mean the system needs attention. Catching it early keeps the job small, so it pays to call as soon as you notice something is not right.
✓ Tank emptying
✓ Treatment plant installs
✓ Pump stations
✓ Part H compliant
-
Routine emptying: tanker visits with full waste transfer paperwork, usually every 12 months for a domestic tank.
-
New installations: modern treatment plants compliant with the General Binding Rules, designed to handle your property's flow.
-
Soakaway issues: failed soakaways are a common cause of tank problems. We diagnose and renew where needed.

Review
★★★★★
Sewage was backing up into the downstairs toilet on a Sunday. Phoned Attgills, an engineer arrived within the hour and jetted the line clear. No weekend surcharge either. Could not fault them.

Review
★★★★★
Had a CCTV survey done on a pipe that kept blocking. Turned out to be old pitch-fibre that had collapsed. They lined it the same week and it has been perfect since. Honest and tidy.

Constant grease problems were costing us a fortune in callouts. The maintenance plan sorted it, regular cleans, no more emergencies. Wish we had done it years ago.
