Fast Response for Blocked Drains and Emergency Drainage

There is never a good time for a drain to block, but there is a right way to fix it. Ignore the panic and give us a call. We handle emergency drainage situations daily, tackling everything from overflowing sinks to blocked external manholes. We know that a quick response minimizes damage to your property and disruption to your day.
Our vans are fully equipped with powerful high-pressure water jetting systems. This isn't just a quick fix; the high-pressure water cuts through grease, scale, silt, and stubborn debris that standard rods simply cannot reach. We scour the pipe walls clean, restoring full flow and significantly reducing the chance of the blockage returning next week.

See What Lies Beneath With CCTV Drain Surveys

Why guess what is causing a problem when you can see it with your own eyes? Often, a recurring blockage is a symptom of a deeper issue, such as a collapsed pipe, tree root intrusion, or a displaced joint. We use state-of-the-art camera technology to carry out comprehensive CCTV drain surveys.
This service is invaluable for homebuyers across Cambridgeshire and East Anglia who want to avoid inheriting expensive repair bills. We insert a specialised camera into the system to map out the condition of your drains without digging a single hole. You receive a detailed report and footage, giving you complete transparency and the information you need to make the right decisions for your property maintenance.

Repairing Pipes Without Ruining Your Garden

The thought of drain repairs usually conjures images of excavators tearing up driveways and destroying well-kept lawns. Fortunately, modern technology has changed the game. Whenever possible, we utilise no-dig drain repairs to fix structural defects from the inside out.
Using advanced lining techniques, we can insert a resin-impregnated sleeve into the damaged pipe. Once cured, this creates a new, incredibly durable pipe within the old one. It seals cracks, bridges gaps, and smooths over rough joints. This trenchless approach saves you time, money, and the heartache of restoring your landscaping after the work is done.

Septic Tank Emptying and Liquid Waste Management

If your property is off the mains grid, maintaining your private drainage system is a legal and practical necessity. We provide reliable septic tank emptying and cesspit management to ensure your system functions correctly and complies with environmental regulations. Regular maintenance prevents the nightmare of a soakaway failure or backing up into your home.
Our fleet includes vacuum tankers capable of handling significant volumes of liquid waste. Beyond domestic tanks, we support businesses with flood water removal, interceptor cleaning, and pump station maintenance. We are fully licensed waste carriers, meaning you can rest easy knowing that all waste is disposed of safely and responsibly at authorised treatment centres.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our expert drainage, civils, and waste management services in Cambridgeshire,East Anglia, Essex, London and Kent

Why Choose Roberts Drainage Ltd?

+

You need to know that the people working on your property are qualified and covered. Our team holds all the essential certifications, including High Pressure Water Jetting, Confined Space Entry, and SHEA Water. We are also Construction Line Silver accredited.
For your peace of mind, we carry £10 million in Public Liability Insurance. We are a registered company (No: 14693486) with a reputation for being honest and dependable. We don't hide costs and we always explain what needs doing before we start.

How quickly can you unblock my drain?

+

We know a blockage is an emergency. We aim to get a van to you as fast as possible, often on the same day. Our teams carry all the gear they need to fix most blockages there and then.

What is a CCTV drain survey and do I really need one?

+

It is basically a health check for your pipes. If you have recurring blockages, a survey finds the root cause—like a cracked pipe or a tree root—so we can fix it permanently. It is also vital for home buyers so they don't inherit a broken drainage system.

Will you have to dig up my garden to fix a broken pipe?

+

In most cases, no. Our no-dig lining technology allows us to repair pipes from the inside. We only dig as a last resort if a pipe has completely collapsed.

How often should I have my septic tank emptied?

+

For most homes, once a year is about right. However, it depends on the size of the tank and how many people live in the house. Regular emptying prevents the soakaway from getting clogged with solids, which is a much more expensive fix.

Can you help with large-scale commercial drainage?

+

Yes, we have the experience and the equipment for industrial and commercial sites. This includes maintaining grease traps, servicing pump stations, and carrying out large-scale civils and groundworks.

What is a soakaway and can you install one?

+

A soakaway is a pit filled with stone or a plastic crate system that allows surface water to sink back into the ground slowly. We design and install soakaways for gardens, driveways, and new builds to manage rainwater and prevent flooding.

Are you licensed to take away liquid waste?

+

Yes, we are fully licensed waste carriers. We dispose of all liquid waste at authorised treatment sites, and we provide you with all the necessary paperwork to prove your waste was handled correctly.

Do you offer emergency call-outs?

+

Drainage problems don't stick to office hours. We offer emergency support for blocked drains, floods, and urgent waste removal to keep your home or business safe.
