Local knowledge
What to know about work in Leicester
Retiring a drain at a Leicester property starts with a local specialist and drain filling. The work closes a redundant drain. The specialist will explain the steps for your property. In your enquiry, say where the drain lies, what it serves and whether a structure is above it or ground lies over it. Ask for a drain abandonment survey if the route needs recording before work begins.

Something we haven't answered? Get in touch
What should I do first if I want a redundant drain closed?
Ask a local specialist to look at the drain and record its route. A drain abandonment survey can show where it runs and what it connects to. The specialist can then say whether drain filling suits the drain.
Can a drain under a building be filled?
A drain beneath a building can sometimes be filled, but the specialist needs to know what is above it. Say whether the building is used and whether the drain serves another property. The specialist will set out what access is needed.
Is drain decommissioning available across Leicester?
Yes. Specialists cover all of Leicester 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 Leicester 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.
