Local knowledge
Local notes for Gloucester projects
Gloucester property owners arranging drain filling for a redundant drain should first know what the drain serves and where it runs. A drain abandonment survey records the route and any connections before work begins, and drain decommissioning follows that plan. When you enquire, say whether the drain sits under a building, crosses a boundary or serves more than one property, and note anything else it links to. A local specialist can then set out the steps.

What details help a specialist quote for filling a drain?
Say where the drain lies and what it serves, such as one house or several properties. Mention any building or paving above it, and whether the pipe passes under a neighbour's ground. Add the reason you want it retired, such as a new extension or an outbuilding no longer in use.
Will a specialist check the drain before filling it?
A survey of the drain usually comes before filling work starts. It records where the drain lies, how deep it is and what connects to it. The findings show whether the drain can be sealed and filled, or whether part of it needs removing first.
Is drain decommissioning available across Gloucester?
Yes. Specialists cover all of Gloucester 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 Gloucester 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.
