Local knowledge
Gillingham: properties and sites
Gillingham owners who have a redundant drain can arrange drain filling once the drain is no longer needed. A local specialist will want the property address, the drain's route, and any building or land above it. Mention whether the drain serves only that property or others, and add any plans for the ground. A drain abandonment survey may come first, and that survey records the drain before work starts.

Answered
Redundant Drain Sealing in Gillingham: your questions answered
Something we haven't answered? Get in touch
What should I send with an enquiry about filling a redundant drain?
Give the address and describe where the drain runs. Note whether a building or land covers it, and say what the drain connects to. Add why the drain is no longer used and any plans for the ground.
Will a local specialist inspect the drain before filling it?
A local specialist will normally arrange a drain abandonment survey. That survey sets out the drain's route and checks what joins it. The filling work follows the survey findings.
Is drain decommissioning available across Gillingham?
Yes. Specialists cover all of Gillingham 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 Gillingham 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.
