Local knowledge
Sealing a redundant drain in Cardiff: the basics
Cardiff property owners with a redundant drain should decide whether it will be filled or removed before work starts. A local specialist can carry out drain abandonment surveys and explain what the survey records. For drain filling, say where the drain runs and what it connects to, and note any access limits at the property. Include the address and any plans or records you hold. The same details help with sewer abandonment.

Something we haven't answered? Get in touch
Is a drain abandonment survey required first?
A local specialist can say whether a survey is needed for your drain. It records the drain route and any connections, which helps plan the work. Ask the specialist what the survey will cover.
What details should I give when asking about drain filling?
Give the property address and a clear description of the drain. Note where it starts and ends, and any access points. Add any plans or records you hold and say if the drain is still in use.
Is drain decommissioning available across Cardiff?
Yes. Specialists cover all of Cardiff and the surrounding areas, as well as neighbouring towns across the United Kingdom. Whether your site is a residential plot, a commercial property or an outbuilding, a specialist can visit and survey the redundant drain.
How quickly can a specialist visit my property?
Submit your details using the enquiry form and a specialist will come back to you with initial guidance on the redundant drain at your Cardiff property.
Does the whole drain have to be excavated?
In many cases, no. A redundant drain can often be capped at the boundary or filled with grout pumped in from an existing access point, keeping excavation to a minimum. A specialist only recommends digging where the CCTV survey shows the pipe cannot be reached or sealed from the chambers already in place.
