Expert Pump Station Maintenance
Across Cambridgeshire,East Anglia, Essex, London and Kent
Professional sewage and wastewater pump servicing by Roberts Drainage Ltd.

Many property owners fall into the trap of "out of sight, out of mind." However, a neglected pump station is a ticking time bomb. Over time, fat, grease, and non-biodegradable items build up in the chamber. This debris can cause pumps to overheat, floats to jam, and non-return valves to fail. When that happens, you aren't just looking at a repair bill; you are potentially facing sewage backing up into your home or business.
Regular maintenance is an investment, not a cost. By scheduling routine sewage pump servicing in Cambridgeshire, we can spot minor wear and tear before it results in total system failure. Replacing a worn capacitor or cleaning a float switch during a planned visit is significantly cheaper than replacing a burnt-out motor on a bank holiday weekend. We help extend the lifespan of your expensive equipment.

When you have a drainage issue, you need a local drainage company that can react quickly. Being situated close to Soham means we are perfectly positioned to attend to faults within a 25-mile radius, from Ely to Newmarket and Bury St Edmunds. We know the local ground conditions and the common issues faced by systems in this area.
While our roots are in Cambridgeshire, our expertise takes us further afield. Our fleet regularly services clients across East Anglia, Essex, London, and Kent. Whether you need a regular maintenance contract for a residential estate in Chelmsford or an urgent repair in North London, Roberts Drainage Ltd brings the same level of local care and professional expertise to every job.

A proper service involves much more than just a quick visual check. Our engineers perform a comprehensive "health check" on your entire pumping station. We lift the pumps to inspect the impellers for damage and blockages, check the oil levels in the motor seals, and test the electrical resistance of the windings.
We also thoroughly clean the wet well. Using our tankering capabilities, we remove built-up solids and grease that can interfere with the float switches. We test the control panel, ensure the alarm systems are functioning correctly, and verify that the non-return valves are preventing backflow. You receive a full report on the condition of your station, detailing any work carried out and advising on any potential future issues.

Sometimes, despite your best efforts, things go wrong. A power surge, a foreign object in the line, or extreme weather can cause sudden failure. When that happens, you need a team that offers true emergency drainage in Soham and the surrounding counties.
We treat pump failure as a priority. A failed pump can quickly lead to environmental pollution and property damage. Our vans are stocked with a wide range of spares and equipment to carry out wastewater pump repairs on the spot. If a repair isn't immediately possible, we have the tanker capacity to manage the waste levels and keep your property safe while a solution is implemented.
