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

Hall Green sits in the B28 postcode, about four miles from central Solihull heading north-west towards Birmingham. It's a well-established suburban area dominated by 1930s and 1950s semi-detached houses, with pockets of older terraced stock closer to the Stratford Road corridor. Most of the drainage work we get called out to here involves ageing clay pipework that's been in the ground for seventy-plus years, blocked drains from root ingress, and the odd collapsed section under driveways that have been resurfaced too many times.

We typically come in via the Stratford Road, which cuts straight through the heart of Hall Green and makes getting to most streets pretty straightforward. The housing density is high, gardens are mature, and those mature trees, silver birches and old conifers mostly, are relentlessly pushing roots into the clay pipe joints. A lot of properties here share rear sewer runs across back gardens, which means one blockage can affect three or four houses at once. That shared-sewer setup is probably the single most distinctive drainage headache in this part of B28.

Most common Hall Green jobs

• Clearing root-blocked drains on clay pipework in back-garden sewer runs
• CCTV surveys to find cracked joints under concrete driveways before resurfacing
• Unblocking shared sewers affecting multiple terraced or semi-detached neighbours
• Collapsed drain sections in older clay pipes, usually mid-run under rear yards
• Soakaway checks where low-lying rear gardens are holding surface water after heavy rain
• Drain relining where digging up a 1930s-era run would mean lifting a whole patio
