Chelmsley Wood is a large post-war council estate in the north of the borough, mostly built in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The housing stock is predominantly semi-detached and terraced properties from that era, with some later infill and a handful of newer social housing plots. It sits in the B37 postcode, roughly 3 miles from central Solihull. Most of the drainage calls we get here involve ageing pitch-fibre and early plastic pipework that's reached the end of its life, plus blocked shared sewers serving clusters of semis.
We come in via the A452 Chester Road or Collector Road depending on where the job is. The estate was laid out in phases and the drainage reflects that, with shared lateral drains running under rear gardens serving several houses at once. That's the thing about Chelmsley Wood: when one neighbour has a blocked drain, there's a good chance two or three others are backing up too. Mature trees planted in the 1970s along estate roads have had decades to push roots into pipe joints, and we find root ingress regularly on CCTV surveys.

Chelmsley Wood FAQ
In most cases, shared drains that serve more than one property in Chelmsley Wood became the responsibility of Severn Trent Water when the rules changed in 2011. We can run a CCTV survey to confirm where the blockage or damage is, and establish whether it's on your private section or the adopted public sewer, so you know exactly who needs to deal with it before you spend money on repairs.
