A Velmead drainage engineer,
on call 24/7 with a clear price before we start.

Velmead sits on the eastern edge of Fleet in GU51, about three miles from the town centre, and it's predominantly 1970s and 1980s semi-detached and detached housing on quiet residential streets. The properties here are well-established, which means the drainage is too, and not always in a good way. We get called out regularly for blocked drains, slow-running waste pipes and the occasional collapsed section of older clay or early plastic pipework that's finally given up.

We come in along Velmead Road from the Fleet side, and the area has that typical late-twentieth-century suburban feel, generous plots, mature gardens, and plenty of trees that have had thirty-odd years to push roots into pipe joints. A lot of the sewer runs here are shared between properties, which means one blocked drain can back up into two or three gardens before anyone works out whose problem it actually is. The pipework under these streets is old enough to have cracked joints and root ingress as a matter of course.

Most common Velmead jobs

• Clearing root ingress from shared sewer runs between neighbouring properties
• CCTV surveys to trace where a blockage is sitting in older clay pipework
• Blocked kitchen waste pipes from grease build-up in 1980s-era housing
• Drain jetting after slow drainage complaints that turn out to be partial root blockages
• Cracked pipe repair following a survey that found joint failure under a driveway
