Drainage experts in Guildford and surrounding villages

Drainage problems can feel like they take over your day. A sink blocks again. A gully bubbles every time it rains. A bad smell appears near the front path and you are left guessing what is happening underground.

Guildford has a mix of older clay pipework, deeper gullies, and shared systems. That mix can make drainage issues harder to predict, especially when a blockage is only the symptom of something bigger.

If you are in Guildford or a surrounding village, ASL Limited can help you get to the cause quickly and fix it properly, with clear advice and no pressure.

Call ASL Limited on 0800 181 684 if you need help today.

Blocked drains cleared fast

Most blocked drains are straightforward once the right access point is found. One experienced ASL Limited drainage engineer attends and normally clears the blockage in under 30 minutes.

In the majority of cases, the blockage is cleared for £99 including VAT.

If heavy roots, collapsed pipework, or a section holding sewage is found, the camera footage is shown and the next step is explained clearly with no pressure. The goal is to stop the problem returning, not just get things flowing for now.

CCTV camera surveys

A CCTV camera survey shows the exact cause of the problem. It replaces guesswork with clear evidence and straightforward advice, especially when blockages keep coming back.

Case study: Burpham

A customer had repeated sink blockages. The camera found a cracked joint near the front path where roots had entered. The line was cleaned, the roots were cut back, and a patch liner was installed to restore the pipe.

Case study: Merrow

A treatment plant was overflowing after rain. Lids were tested and water was found entering around a worn inspection cover. The chamber was resealed, the plant was serviced, and normal operation was restored.

Drain repairs

Some drains keep blocking because the pipe is damaged, joints have dropped, or the fall is no longer right. Clearing the blockage helps short term, but repairs stop repeat problems.

Repairs can include patch lining, full structural relining, deep excavations where necessary, manhole repairs, and fall corrections.

Septic tanks and treatment plants

Private systems can be quiet for years, then suddenly become stressful. Smells, alarms, slow drainage, or soggy ground often mean the system is overloaded or needs maintenance.

Support includes installation, upgrades, replacements, servicing, and full drainage field assessments.

Main drain connections

Some properties can connect to the public sewer, but the process can feel complicated. Distance, gradient, permissions, and roadworks all matter.

ASL Limited can organise permissions, traffic control, excavation, and safe connection into the public sewer.

If you are considering this option, read about main sewer connections.

Pumping stations

When waste or surface water cannot reach the discharge point by gravity, a pumping station may be needed. A well designed system should be reliable and should include an alarm for peace of mind.

If you need help with a pumping station, read about pumping stations.

Gully cleaning

Older properties and long driveways can collect a surprising amount of silt and debris. Gullies and channels can quietly fill up, then overflow when heavy rain hits.

Deep suction, emptying, and jetting can keep private estates, long driveways, and older properties flowing properly.

If you want preventative maintenance, read about gully cleaning.

How quickly can a blocked drain be cleared in Guildford?

Many blockages can be cleared in under 30 minutes once the right access point is found. Some jobs take longer in areas with older clay pipework, deeper gullies, or repeat issues linked to damage in the line.

What does the £99 including VAT cover?

The £99 including VAT price applies in the majority of straightforward blocked drain cases. If roots, collapse, or a section holding sewage is found, the issue is explained and options are provided before any further work is agreed.

Why do drains keep blocking in older parts of Guildford?

Older clay pipes can have joints that shift over time, which can let roots in or create lips that catch debris. A CCTV survey can show whether the issue is a simple blockage or damage that needs repair.

When is a CCTV drain survey worth doing?

A CCTV survey is useful when blockages return, sinks keep backing up, or there are smells and slow drainage with no obvious cause. It shows the condition of the pipe and helps target repairs.

Can rainwater cause treatment plants to overflow?

Yes. Rainwater entering through worn covers, poor seals, or incorrect connections can overload a private system during heavy rain. Testing can confirm where water is getting in so it can be stopped.

Do you cover villages around Guildford?

Yes. ASL Limited covers Guildford and surrounding villages. It helps to share your postcode on the call so the right response can be planned.
