DRAINAGE SERVICES IN KETTERING: 24/7 EMERGENCY DRAIN ENGINEERS
Kettering is one of the larger towns we cover, and our engineers are out across it most weeks, from the older terraced streets around the town centre to the growing estates at Barton Seagrave, Mawsley and Burton Latimer. Whether it is a blocked drain backing up on a Sunday or a CCTV survey before you buy, we know the local network, including the ageing clay pipes under the older parts of town and the modern systems in the newer developments.

24/7 EMERGENCY RESPONSE
Blocked Drain Right Now? We Can Be With You Within the Hour
A drain rarely picks a convenient moment to block. When a sink backs up before the school run or sewage starts surfacing in a Kettering back garden after heavy rain, you want a real local engineer rather than a national call centre putting you on hold.
Our team is on call around the clock, every day of the year. From our Rushden depot we reach most of Kettering in well under an hour, and every van carries the jetting, rodding and camera gear needed to clear the blockage, check the pipe and stop it returning, all on the first visit.

DRAIN INSPECTIONS
CCTV Drain Surveys for Homeowners, Buyers and Landlords
_JPG.jpg)
If a Kettering drain keeps blocking, gives off a smell, or you are about to buy a property in the town, a CCTV survey is the quickest and cheapest way to see exactly what is going on underground. We feed our cameras through the pipework and record HD footage that we go through with you on screen.
We run two main packages: a focused drain report for a problem you already know about, and a full home buyer survey that gives you the complete picture before you exchange. Both come with a digital video file, written findings and a costed plan if any work turns out to be needed.
✓ No excavation
✓ Digital video report
✓ Same day options
-
Buying in Kettering: much of the housing here predates modern pipe standards and a standard homebuyer report skips the drains entirely. A pre-purchase CCTV survey has saved buyers in the town thousands when a hidden collapse turned up before exchange.
-
Recurring blockages in Kettering: if a drain has been cleared twice in a year there is usually a structural reason behind it, a bellied pipe, a cracked joint or roots, and CCTV pinpoints exactly where it sits.
-
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
Cracked, collapsed or root-damaged pipes used to mean a dug-up driveway and a ruined garden. For most repairs in Kettering, modern drain lining now means we can rebuild the pipe from the inside, often within a single day and with very little mess.
We use cured-in-place resin liners to repair damaged sections from within, leaving a smooth, structurally sound pipe inside the old one that seals out roots and stops further decay. Where a pipe has collapsed beyond lining, we excavate neatly and reinstate the surface properly.
✓ 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
Many properties around Kettering, especially out towards Pytchley, Cranford and the surrounding villages, are off mains drainage and rely on septic tanks, treatment plants or pump stations. We service, repair and install all of them.
The warning signs are usually clear once you know them: slow-flushing toilets, gurgling drains, sluggish sinks or sewage backing up. The sooner you call, the simpler and cheaper the fix tends to be.
✓ 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 problems: out toward Pytchley, Cranford and the surrounding villages, failed soakaways in the heavier clay ground are a frequent cause of tank trouble. We diagnose and renew them.

Review
★★★★★
Called at 8pm with the kitchen drain overflowing. An engineer was with us inside the hour and had it cleared and tidied before bed. He explained what had caused it so we could avoid a repeat. First class.

Review
★★★★★
Booked a CCTV survey before buying a terrace near the centre. They found a partial collapse the homebuyer report had missed, and the footage gave us real leverage on the price. Money very well spent.
Cafe Owner — Kettering
Review
★★★★★
We kept getting grease blockages at the cafe. Since going on the maintenance plan the drains have stayed clear and we have not had a single emergency callout. Brilliant value.
