Drain Mapping Locating in Chatteris, Cambridgeshire

Planning an extension in Cambridgeshire? If you're building anywhere near a public sewer, Anglian Water is going to want to see a proper plan. We specialise in providing the detailed schematic drawings and invert levels needed for build-over agreements. We've seen too many projects ground to a halt because a hidden manhole was discovered right where the new footings were supposed to go. By getting Roberts Drainage Ltd in early, you're not just getting a map; you're getting the peace of mind that your project is compliant and won't be slapped with a stop-work order. We'll trace your lateral drains and identify every connection so your architect has the exact data they need.

You might be imagining us turning up with shovels and tearing up your driveway, but it's actually much cleverer than that. We use Sonde and Trace technology, which is basically like GPS for your plumbing. We send a small transmitter through the pipework while an engineer follows it from the surface with a handheld receiver. We can pinpoint the exact route and depth of your drains through concrete, soil, or tarmac. Whether you're looking for a buried inspection chamber or trying to figure out why a certain corner of the garden is always soggy, this non-invasive approach finds the answer without leaving a mark on your property. It's fast, accurate, and far cheaper than digging blind.

There's nothing worse than a digger hitting a pipe that 'wasn't supposed to be there.' It's a costly mistake that can add thousands to a renovation budget in an instant. Our mapping services are designed to prevent exactly that. We work with residential and commercial clients across a 25-mile radius of Chatteris, providing high-definition CCTV surveys alongside our sonar tracing. You'll receive a professional report that shows the condition of the pipes too—because there's no point building over a drain that's already half-collapsed or riddled with tree roots. We're fully accredited with Construction Line Silver and hold £10 million in public liability insurance, so you know you're in safe hands.

Why risk your property on guesswork? Whether you're a developer needing a full site utility map or a homeowner just trying to find a manhole hidden under a patio, we're here to help. We pride ourselves on being straight-talking and transparent with our pricing—no hidden fees, just professional advice from local experts who know the Fenland terrain.
