A Wheatpieces drainage engineer,
on call 24/7 with a clear price before we start.

Wheatpieces sits on the northern edge of Tewkesbury in GL20, about 10 minutes from the town centre. It's largely a post-war and 1980s residential estate, with a mix of semi-detached and detached houses built for families moving out of the older town streets. The drainage jobs we get here are pretty typical of that era: blocked drains from ageing clay and early plastic pipework, collapsed joints, and the occasional shared sewer dispute between neighbours who aren't sure whose pipe is whose.

We come in from the Tewkesbury direction, usually up through the northern edge of town before dropping into the estate roads. The housing stock is fairly uniform, lots of 1970s and 1980s builds with original underground drainage that's now 40-plus years old. Joints have shifted, tree roots from garden planting have found their way in, and the low-lying ground around this part of Tewkesbury means water sits longer than it should after heavy rain. The estate layout means shared lateral drains are common, and homeowners are often surprised to find they're responsible for more pipe than they thought.

Most common Wheatpieces jobs
