24/7 EMERGENCY RESPONSE
Blocked Drain Right Now? We Can Be With You Within the Hour
When a sink backs up on a Sunday evening, a toilet overflows during the school run, or sewage starts rising in the garden after heavy rain, you do not want to be on hold with a national call centre. You want a real engineer who knows the local network.
Our team is on call 24 hours a day, every day of the year. We operate from a depot in Rushden, so most emergencies in Northampton are reached within the hour. Every van carries the right equipment to clear the blockage, inspect the pipework and prevent it happening again, all on the first visit.
✓ No call out fee
✓ No weekend surcharge
✓ Fully equipped vans
✓ CCTV included
-
Common causes we clear: wipes, sanitary items, food waste, fat and grease, tree roots, soil collapse, surface water flooding.
-
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)
If a drain keeps blocking, smells strange, or you are about to buy a property in Northampton, a CCTV survey is the fastest, cheapest way to find out what is really happening underground. Our cameras are sent through the pipework and record HD video that we review with you on screen.
We offer two main packages: a rapid drain report focused on a specific problem you are already aware of, and a full home buyer survey that gives you a complete picture before exchange. Both come with a digital video file, written findings and a costed plan if any work is needed.
✓ No excavation
✓ Digital video report
✓ Same day options
-
Buying a property: standard home buyer reports rarely cover drainage. A pre purchase CCTV survey has saved customers thousands when hidden collapses were spotted before exchange.
-
Recurring blockages: if you have been unblocked twice in the last year, there is likely a structural issue. CCTV pinpoints 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
Cracked, collapsed or root damaged pipework used to mean excavation, a torn up driveway and a hefty reinstatement bill. Modern drain lining means most repairs in Northampton can now be done with minimal disruption, often inside a single day.
We use cured in place resin liners to repair sections of damaged pipe from the inside. The result is a new, smooth, structurally sound pipe within the old one, sealing out roots and preventing further deterioration. For larger collapses or sections beyond lining, we excavate carefully and reinstate cleanly.
✓ 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
Plenty of properties in and around Northampton, particularly in the surrounding villages, are not connected to mains drainage. They rely on septic tanks, sewage treatment plants, cesspits or pump stations to handle wastewater. We service, repair and install all four.
The signs your tank needs attention are usually obvious once you know what to look for: slow flushing toilets, gurgling drains, slow emptying sinks or backed up sewage. The earlier you call, the easier and cheaper the fix.
✓ 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.

Sarah J.
Review
★★★★★
Called at 9pm with sewage coming up through the kitchen sink. Ben was here by 9:45pm and had it cleared by 10:30. Stayed afterwards to explain what had caused it and how to prevent a repeat. Saved our weekend.
Mike T.
Review
★★★★★
Used Attgills for a CCTV survey before buying a Victorian terrace in Kingsthorpe. They spotted a partial collapse the seller had not disclosed. The video and written report gave us proper leverage in the negotiation. Saved us thousands.
Restaurant Owner
Review
★★★★★
We run a busy restaurant in town and signed up to the maintenance plan after one too many emergency callouts. Drains have not blocked once in 18 months. Worth every penny for the peace of mind alone.
