Local Salisbury drainage engineers covering St Francis. Blocked drains, high-pressure jetting, CCTV surveys and drain repairs, with a clear price agreed before we lift a cover.
St Francis is a post-war residential area in the SP1 postcode, sitting about three miles south-east of central Salisbury. It's predominantly 1950s and 1960s council-built housing, a mix of semis and short terraces, with some later infill and a handful of converted or extended properties. We get called out here regularly for blocked drains, slow-emptying gullies and the kind of ageing pipework problems that come with housing stock of that era. It's a straightforward drive from the city and we're usually on site within the hour.
The housing in St Francis was largely built to a standard post-war layout, which means shallow-run clay drainage, shared sewer connections between pairs of semis, and gully pots that haven't been touched in decades. We come in via the Southampton Road corridor. The gardens are mature, and that means tree roots, particularly near older boundary drains where clay pipe joints have started to open up. There's a lot of shared pipework responsibility here that homeowners don't realise until something backs up into next door as well.

St Francis FAQ
It's a common situation on estates like St Francis. If the drain serves both properties before it connects to the public sewer, it's likely a private shared sewer, and both of you have a joint responsibility. We can do a CCTV survey to show exactly where the problem is and produce a report you can both use, whether that's to split the cost or to involve your insurers.
