Toilets, sinks, kitchen waste, outside drains, gullies and inspection chambers across Wokingham's mix of housing. The town centre's older buildings sometimes carry drainage that's been adapted piecemeal over the years, while the newer estates further out are more straightforward but occasionally show signs of poor original installation. Soakaways, main drain connections and CCTV drain surveys are part of the regular workload, alongside drainage for the shops and offices around the town centre.
Toilets
Backing up because of an outside drain blockage, not internal plumbing.
Ground-floor sinks
Draining slowly or overflowing due to blocked external pipes.
Manholes & chambers
Inspection chambers in the garden or driveway that have surcharged.
Downpipes & gullies
Rainwater downpipes and gully outlets that won't clear.
Soakaways
Systems that aren't draining water away as they should.
Commercial drainage
Foul and surface water systems for businesses of any size.
Why Do Drains Get Blocked?
Wokingham sits on London Clay with pockets of clay-with-flints, which holds water and can put pressure on drainage after sustained rain. In the older parts of town, root ingress from mature trees and displaced joints in ageing pipework are the most common issues. Fat and grease build-up in kitchens and wet wipes flushed away remain frequent causes everywhere, regardless of the property’s age. On some of the newer estates, ASL also finds occasional installation faults such as incorrect pipe falls or awkwardly positioned inspection chambers left over from when the development was first built.
Kitchen habits
Fat, grease and food waste hardening inside the pipe.
Bathroom items
Wet wipes and sanitary products, even 'flushable' ones.
Nature
Tree roots, silt and leaves finding their way in.
Wear & tear
Scale build-up, cracks or old pipe materials failing.
Build issues
Renovation debris or pipes laid at the wrong gradient.
How We Fix It, Our 5-Step Process
- Call and rapid response Describe the problem and an engineer is dispatched to your Wokingham address, usually the same day.
- On-site diagnosis The blockage is assessed, with a CCTV drain survey used where the cause isn't immediately obvious.
- Clearing the blockage High-pressure jetting, rodding or mechanical drain milling, chosen to suit the pipe and problem found.
- Confirming the fix Flowing freely, evidence shown. Where the drain allows for it, a complimentary 10-minute look-see with the camera comes next, included in the job at no cost. It confirms the pipe is clear and picks up anything obviously wrong, which on the newer estates can mean spotting an original installation fault behind a repeat blockage. It's a quick look rather than a full CCTV drainage survey, which is booked separately and comes with its own equipment and a written report.
- Reporting and next steps Where no-dig lining or a patch repair is needed, ASL explains the findings and provides a free estimate.

Recent Drainage Work in Wokingham
A customer on Maidenhead Road, Wokingham, called with a private drainage system full to the top with sewage, a job another drainage company passed to us because it needed a sewage suction tanker. Using our own tanker and high-pressure jetting, we cleared the restrictions and pulled out a surprising amount of debris, including logs and branches.

FAQs
Can you get to me the same day in Wokingham?
Usually, and once the engineer's arrived, clearing the blockage typically takes half an hour or less.
What's the cost likely to be?
It depends on the type of blockage and the equipment needed to fix it. Rest assured a free quote always comes first, before any repair work, and there's nothing to pay for calling or enquiring.
Is the drain my responsibility, or the water company's?
Thames Water is generally responsible for the public sewer in Wokingham, however, pipework inside your own boundary is down to you.
Are the newer estates prone to installation faults?
Occasionally, incorrect pipe falls or displaced joints do turn up on some of Wokingham's newer developments, usually dating back to the original build.
What does a CCTV drain survey involve?
A camera is inserted into the pipe to pinpoint exactly what is causing the blockage, and this method is used when the cause is not clear from the surface. A full survey is a booked job with proper reporting behind it. The complimentary 10-minute look-see we include after clearing a blockage is a briefer check, carried out there and then.
Will I need groundwork done in my garden?
Not necessarily, as no-dig lining or patch repair often solves the problem instead, depending on the survey.
