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

Great Hollands is a large residential estate in the south of Bracknell, sitting in the RG12 postcode about three miles from the town centre. Most of the housing here was built in the 1970s and early 1980s, so you're looking at semi-detached and terraced council-era stock, a lot of it now privately owned. The jobs we pick up here tend to be blocked drains, slow-draining gullies and ageing underground pipework that's starting to show its age after fifty-odd years.

We typically come in via Opladen Way or off the Southern Industrial Area road network. The estate has a familiar layout of cul-de-sacs and shared access roads, and the drainage reflects the era it was built in, plenty of clay pipe runs with push-fit joints that have shifted over the decades. Mature trees are everywhere on the greens and verges, and root ingress into drain joints is one of the more common things we find on a CCTV survey here. Shared sewers serving clusters of properties are the norm, so one household's blockage can quickly become several households' problem.

Most common Great Hollands jobs

• Clearing root-damaged clay drain runs that are backing up into ground-floor toilets and sinks
• CCTV surveys to trace which section of a shared sewer is causing repeat blockages across neighbouring properties
• High-pressure jetting of blocked surface water gullies on shared access roads and parking areas
• Patching or lining cracked clay pipe joints where tree roots have worked their way in
• Tracing drain runs for homeowners who've had no survey done and don't know where their lateral connects to the main sewer
