Local knowledge
New Malden housing, from a drainage engineer's side
New Malden offers a blend of Edwardian terraces, 1930s semis, and post-war residential developments. The area has a notable number of properties with original drainage that has been adapted over decades. Variations in ground composition and later extensions can create complex, multi-section drainage paths that are prone to issues at connection points.

What fails here
Common drainage problems in New Malden
01
Poor Historical Modifications
DIY drainage alterations or past repairs using incompatible materials (like concrete to clay) are common. These weak junctions frequently fail, causing leaks or blockages that require removal and professional re-laying.
02
Ground Movement Issues
Some areas have ground conditions that can lead to settlement. This puts stress on rigid clay pipes, causing misaligned joints or fractures that require a CCTV survey to pinpoint and a structured repair quote.
03
Blocked Yard Gullys
Many properties have external yard gullies for surface water. These easily become clogged with leaves, moss, and silt, leading to overflow. A thorough jetting service is often the solution, priced as a standard job.
04
Multi-Property Drain Responsibility
On some streets, establishing which section of drain is a homeowner's responsibility versus the water company's (the lateral drain) is a frequent first step. We clarify this and only quote for the work on your section.
Three methods, one visit
High-pressure jetting
Blasts grease, silt and root growth from pipe walls without digging.
CCTV survey
A camera on rods or a crawler unit records the pipe condition end to end.
No-dig relining
A resin liner is cured inside the damaged pipe instead of excavating it.
