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

Coombe Vale sits in the KT2 postcode just inside the borough boundary, about 15 minutes from central Kingston upon Thames depending on traffic through the Robin Hood roundabout. It's a quiet, well-kept residential pocket where detached and semi-detached houses from the 1930s and post-war decades sit alongside some newer infill development. Most of our work here is on ageing clay and earthenware drainage, blocked gullies, and root ingress from the substantial garden trees that characterise this part of the borough.

We typically come in via the A238 or cut through from Coombe Lane, which gives us a good read on the area before we arrive on site. The housing stock is predominantly mid-twentieth century with long rear gardens, and many properties share lateral drain runs that were never mapped properly. The clay pipe joints in this part of Kingston are the main culprit for repeat blockages, tree roots work their way in through the smallest crack and within a year you've got a full obstruction. There's enough mature oak and lime planting here that root surveys are something we recommend almost every time.
