Gateshead has a diverse mix of housing from different eras, which shapes the kind of drainage issues our engineers encounter here.
Many properties in Gateshead still rely on original Victorian clay pipe drainage, which is prone to cracking, root ingress, and collapse after more than a century of service. Our engineers regularly deal with deteriorated clay pipes across the area and carry the specialist equipment needed to clear, inspect, and repair them.
Gateshead still relies on a combined sewer system in many areas, carrying both rainwater and wastewater in the same pipe. During heavy rainfall, these systems can become overwhelmed — leading to slow drainage, backups, and sometimes localised flooding.

After much searching we found the guys from Leeds who responded quickly and efficiently to our initial query, scheduled an appointment to come do the work. Then managed to arrive a day early! Friendly, helpful, excellent work.
UK Drainage Services replied
Hi Finbarr, Cheers for the review. Turning up a day early was the lads squeezing you in when a job up the road finished sooner than expected, so I'm glad it worked out well for you. Thanks, Josh UK Drainage Services

These guys are the real deal. Professional, quick, honest and my go to whenever sh i t hits the fan. It's hard to find guys that are able to access and deal with the problem at hand fast. No drain or blockage is a match for these heroes. Every toilet will be crapping themselves knowing Hakim and team are on the way.
UK Drainage Services replied
Hi Go, Ha, that line about the toilets crapping themselves made my morning. Cheers for the kind words, and glad we got it sorted quick when things went wrong. Thanks, Josh UK Drainage Services

I had an amazing experience with them, having dealt with drainage issues for the first time I am so glad I chose them. firstly, very punctual and always arrived on the time promised, spotted the issue by passing through camera in the drains, very high tech and friendly. They are affordable as well, Hakim and Tony made sure they dont leave until we are fully satisfied with the work. Highly recommended.
UK Drainage Services replied
Hi Saba, Glad the camera survey did the trick, it does make spotting the problem a lot easier than guessing. Hakim and Tony are proper sticklers for finishing a job right, so I'll pass this on to them. Thanks, Josh UK Drainage Services
