Altrincham's prestigious properties in Hale, Bowdon, and Hale Barns come with extensive grounds and mature gardens that create distinctive drainage challenges. Large Victorian and Edwardian houses often have complex drainage serving multiple outbuildings, while established trees and hedgerows contribute to root intrusion. Our Altrincham specialists bring the expertise needed for these high-value properties.
Phone us and describe the symptoms — slow drainage, gurgling, bad smells, or standing water. We dispatch a local engineer to your Altrincham property, arriving typically within 60-75 minutes.
Your engineer inspects all access points and, where necessary, deploys a CCTV drain camera to pinpoint the exact blockage location and cause inside the pipework.
Using high-pressure water jetting, mechanical rodding, or electromechanical cutting tools, we remove the obstruction completely and flush the line clean.
We run water through every affected fixture and inspect the drainage run to confirm full flow has been restored with no secondary issues.

Properties such as large Victorian and Edwardian houses, prestigious detached properties, converted barns, and newer executive homes can be particularly susceptible due to ageing pipework and mature vegetation.
