DRAINAGE SERVICES IN HIGHAM FERRERS: 24/7 DRAIN ENGINEERS
Higham Ferrers sits right next door to our Rushden depot, barely a mile away, so it is one of the quickest places we ever reach. It is also one of the most characterful, with period homes around the Market Square, the medieval Chichele College and Georgian properties whose drainage needs a careful, experienced hand rather than a heavy one.

DRAIN INSPECTIONS
CCTV Drain Surveys for Homeowners, Buyers and Landlords
_JPG.jpg)
Many Higham Ferrers homes are old enough that the original drains are well into their second century. If a drain keeps blocking or you are buying a period property here, a CCTV survey reveals exactly what condition the pipework is in, recorded in HD and reviewed with you.
We provide a focused report for a known issue and a full home buyer survey for anyone purchasing in the town. Both come with a digital video file, written findings and a clear, costed plan if repairs are required.
✓ No excavation
✓ Digital video report
✓ Same day options
-
Buying in Higham Ferrers: with so much period property, the drains are often older than the rest of the house and a standard survey ignores them. A pre-purchase CCTV survey shows their real state before you exchange.
-
Recurring blockages in Higham Ferrers: in the older streets a drain that keeps blocking usually points to an aged, cracked pipe rather than a one-off. CCTV pinpoints exactly where and what.
-
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
Older period drains around Higham Ferrers crack and shift as the ground moves and tree roots intrude. Rather than tearing up a treasured garden or driveway, we line most damaged pipes from the inside, usually within a single day.
A cured-in-place resin liner forms a smooth, structurally sound pipe inside the old one, sealing out roots and stopping further decay. Where a pipe has collapsed beyond lining, we excavate with care and reinstate the surface to match.
✓ 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
On the outskirts and in the lanes around Higham Ferrers, some homes are not on the mains and rely on septic tanks, treatment plants or pump stations. We empty, service, repair and install all of them.
Slow toilets, gurgling, foul odours or surfacing sewage are the usual warning signs. Call early and the fix is normally quick and inexpensive, leave it and it rarely improves on its own.
✓ 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
★★★★★
Our drain blocked late evening and they were here in under twenty minutes, the benefit of being just down the road. Cleared, checked and tidied up, all for the price quoted. Excellent.

Review
★★★★★
Used Attgills for a survey on a Georgian house we were buying. They found a cracked clay drain and gave us a proper report. It paid for itself many times over. Knowledgeable and polite.
