DRAINAGE SERVICES IN MARKET HARBOROUGH: 24/7 DRAIN ENGINEERS
Market Harborough is a smart, historic market town with a lot of period property, the River Welland and the Grand Union Canal close by. Many of its older homes around the town centre and Logan Street sit on aged pipework that needs a careful approach, while the surrounding villages and newer estates bring their own drainage. Our engineers cover the lot.

24/7 EMERGENCY RESPONSE
Blocked Drain Right Now? We Can Be With You Within the Hour
A blocked drain or an overflowing toilet does not wait for office hours. When it happens in Market Harborough, you want an experienced local engineer who can come out promptly and fix it properly, not a call centre offering a slot next week.
We are on call 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Each van carries jetting, rodding and CCTV equipment, so we aim to clear the blockage, inspect the pipework and identify any underlying cause in a single visit, with no surcharge for unsociable hours.
✓ No call out fee
✓No weekend surcharge
✓ Fully equipped vans
✓ CCTV included
-
Common causes across Market Harborough: with so much period property in and around the town, cracked clay pipework and root intrusion are behind most repeat blockages, alongside the everyday fat and wipes that affect any drain.
-
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
_JPG.jpg)
Given how much period property the town has, recurring drain problems in Market Harborough are often structural rather than a simple one-off blockage. A CCTV survey shows exactly what is going on underground, recorded in HD and reviewed with you on screen.
We provide a focused drain report for a known issue and a full home buyer survey for anyone purchasing in the town, which is well worth it given the age of much of the housing. Both come with a digital video file, written findings and a costed plan.
✓ No excavation
✓ Digital video report
✓ Same day options
-
Buying in Market Harborough: the town's period homes often sit on drains older than the building above them, and a standard survey ignores them. A pre-purchase CCTV survey reveals their real state before you exchange.
-
Recurring blockages in Market Harborough: in the older property a drain that keeps blocking usually points to a structural fault rather than a one-off. CCTV shows exactly where and what kind.
-
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
The older drains beneath much of Market Harborough crack and admit roots as they age, and digging up a period garden is rarely welcome. For most repairs we line the pipe from the inside instead, usually within a single day and with little mess.
A cured-in-place resin liner creates a smooth, structurally sound pipe within the old one, sealing out roots and halting 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.

✓ 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.

Review
★★★★★
Our drain blocked late on a Sunday and they still came out, cleared it and tidied up. No weekend surcharge, just the price they quoted. Lovely, professional engineer. Thank you.

Review
★★★★★
Had a CCTV survey before buying a Victorian house. They found a collapsed clay drain the survey had not picked up and gave us a clear report. It paid for itself in the negotiation. Highly recommended.
