Victorian terraces and student lets
Areas such as Jericho, East Oxford, Cowley Road and Iffley Fields are full of Victorian terraced houses, many now let to students and young professionals. Heavy use, wet wipes and cooking fat make blockages common, while the original clay pipework underneath is often cracked or root damaged.
For landlords and letting agents we can clear the immediate problem quickly and, where blockages keep returning, survey the drain and recommend a lasting repair.
Larger homes in North Oxford and Headington
Summertown, North Oxford and Headington have many large Victorian and Edwardian houses with big gardens and mature trees. Long drain runs and nearby roots are a common combination, and extensions over old drains are frequent. A CCTV survey will show whether a fault needs patching, relining or replacement.
Conservation areas
No-dig methods help avoid disturbing historic surfaces and boundaries.
Extensions over drains
Relining can repair pipes running under extensions without breaking out floors.
Flood-prone and low-lying ground
Parts of Oxford, including Botley, Osney and areas near the rivers, are prone to high water levels. Drains here can be slow to clear in wet weather, and failing pipes can let groundwater in. Regular checks and timely repairs help reduce the risk of backing up.
