Blocked Drains in Andover: Chalk Downland and the Anton Valley
Andover sits on chalk downland, with the River Anton running through the town. Chalk generally takes water well, but the ground changes from one plot to the next, so we find the cause on site before we price anything, and a slow drain here is not always a blocked one.
- Flint and clay can cap the higher ground, so a dig can be slower than the chalk suggests.
- Near the Anton, the ground can hold groundwater after a wet winter, and a marginal drain may show it first.
- In outlying villages such as Perham Down, Anna Valley, Goodworth Clatford, Picket Piece, Enham Alamein and Stoke, a septic tank rather than a sewer may be behind a slow drain.
Drain Unblocking in Andover and the Rest of the Range
From drain cleaning in Andover to repairs and new drainage, here is what each service means on chalk downland, in the Anton valley and out in the villages.
Drain Unblocking in Dorset, Hampshire & Wiltshire
Emergency Drain Unblocking in Dorset, Hampshire & WiltshireA drain backing up in Andover or the villages round it: we aim to be with you within 60 minutes, and we'll give you an arrival time when you call.
Blocked Manholes in Dorset, Hampshire & WiltshireWhere the ground round a chamber is wet, as it can be near the Anton, we look at where the water is coming from as well as what is blocking it.
Blocked Toilets in Dorset, Hampshire & WiltshireOut in the villages, a property on a septic tank rather than the sewer can have a full tank behind a backing-up toilet, so we ask which you have.
Blocked Sinks in Dorset, Hampshire & WiltshireWater from chalk country tends to be hard, so scale can build up in a waste pipe alongside fat and soap, and we say which we find.
Drain Smells in Dorset, Hampshire & WiltshireIn and around the Anton valley a smell can trace back to wet ground getting into a drain as easily as to a blockage, so we find where it starts before proposing anything.
Drain Repairs in Dorset, Hampshire & Wiltshire
Drain Lining (CIPP) in Dorset, Hampshire & WiltshireWhere the ground is flinty or the garden well established, relining a pipe from the inside is a question worth asking before anyone digs.
Drain Patch Repair in Dorset, Hampshire & WiltshireOne cracked length, not the whole run: we explain what we found, price it first, and you choose whether it is done now or booked in.
Collapsed Drain Repair in Dorset, Hampshire & WiltshireWhere the ground is wet, a collapse can mean managing the water as well as the pipe, and we price that before anything is dug.
Manhole Repairs in Dorset, Hampshire & WiltshireA cracked cover or chamber on a drive or a verge is repaired or replaced once we have priced it and you have said yes.
Rat Blocking in Dorset, Hampshire & WiltshireIn villages where gardens back onto open ground, a broken drain can be an easy way in for rats, and a blocker closes that route.
Drain Cleaning & Jetting in Dorset, Hampshire & Wiltshire
Drain Descaling in Dorset, Hampshire & WiltshireHard water from chalk country leaves scale in pipes over the years, and clearing it is what descaling is for.
Drain Root Removal in Dorset, Hampshire & WiltshireRoots that get into a cracked joint are cut out, and if the joint is the cause we tell you, because clearing alone can mean a return visit.
Septic Tank Services in Dorset, Hampshire & Wiltshire
Septic Tank Emptying in Dorset, Hampshire & WiltshireBeyond the sewer network in the villages round Andover, a septic tank needs emptying regularly, and we arrange it and give you the price first.
Soakaway Installation in Dorset, Hampshire & WiltshireChalk generally takes water well, but a soakaway low in the valley can meet groundwater in winter, so the ground comes first.
Drainage Installation in Dorset, Hampshire & Wiltshire
Surface Water Drainage in Dorset, Hampshire & WiltshireRain on chalk usually soaks away, but flint and clay caps on the higher ground can hold it on the surface in places, and that decides what is needed.
Sewer Connections in Dorset, Hampshire & WiltshireA connection is only possible where a sewer serves the property, and in some of the villages nearby the first job is to find out whether one does.

How a Drain Job Runs Around Andover
Four steps, and the price and the choices are yours before any work starts.
You call us
Tell us what is happening and where, whether that is in Andover itself or one of the villages around it. For most jobs we give you the price, or our labour rate, before we set off.
We find the cause on site
We find the cause and explain it. Here that can mean looking at the ground as well as the pipe, because groundwater in the valley and flinty ground can both play a part.
You decide what happens next
You choose whether we fix it now or book it in. If we find something that needs more work, we tell you what it is and what it costs first, and nothing extra happens without your say-so.
We clear it and clean up
We clear the drain, check it is clear, and leave the site cleaned, tidied and sanitised, whether that is a terrace in town or a garden in one of the villages.

Every site is left cleaned, tidied and sanitised.
Will the bill end up higher than we agreed?

Blocked Drains in Andover: Local Questions Answered
What people in and around Andover ask before they ring.
Do you cover Andover and the villages around it?
Yes. We are based in Ringwood and work across Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire, and Andover is on our list, along with villages such as Abbotts Ann, Upper Clatford, Weyhill and Thruxton. Ring us with your postcode and we will tell you when we can be with you.
Is there a call-out fee to come out to Andover?
No. There is no call-out fee, so you pay for the work and not for us turning up. For most jobs we can tell you the price, or our labour rate, before we set off, and every charge, including waste disposal, parking and VAT, is stated clearly before any work starts.
Does the chalk around Andover make a drain repair harder?
It can. Chalk generally takes water well, but flint, clay caps on the higher ground and wet valley floors mean the ground changes from one plot to the next. That is why we find the cause on site first. If a survey or repair is needed, we explain it and price it first, and you choose now or later.
Can you arrange septic tank emptying in Andover?
Septic tank work is part of what we offer, and emptying can be arranged around Andover and the villages nearby. Tell us where the tank is and what it is doing, and for most jobs we will give you the price, or our labour rate, before we set off.
