Pennine weather can overwhelm drainage systems quickly, and Oldham properties need an emergency service that understands this reality. Our teams respond around the clock to flooding, sewage backup, and drain failures across the borough, from Lees to Greenfield and everywhere between.
Our 24/7 emergency line is always staffed. Describe the situation — flooding, sewage backup, or collapse — and we prioritise dispatch to your Oldham address.
The nearest available emergency engineer heads to your property typically within 75-90 minutes, equipped with pumping, jetting, and containment gear to handle any scenario.
On arrival, we secure the affected area, isolate the drainage failure if possible, and begin removing standing water or sewage to limit property damage.
We diagnose the root cause and implement the fastest effective repair — clearing blockages, patching failures, or arranging follow-up work for structural damage.
Once the immediate emergency is resolved, we provide a written summary and, if further repairs are needed, schedule them at a time that suits you.
Emergency calls from Oldham trigger immediate dispatch. Our engineers arrive prepared for weather-related emergencies with pumping equipment and temporary drainage solutions to protect your property while permanent repairs are arranged.
