Start with evidence of the defect

Recurring blockages alone do not identify which repair is needed. Share earlier reports, the affected outlets and any known damaged section. Where the position or condition remains unclear, further inspection may be needed before a repair proposal can be defined.

Compare suitable repair approaches

An internal repair may suit some defects, while severe damage may need excavation or replacement. Access, existing condition and the surrounding site influence the choice. Explain nearby structures, surfaces and any shared areas that affect entry or work.

Make the proposal complete

Ask which section will be repaired, what preparation is included and how the completed work will be checked. For excavation, discuss waste handling and reinstatement. Agree how unexpected findings and extra work will be authorised. SouthFlow carries £5 million public liability insurance.

Your Lymington service questions

How do you decide which repair is needed?

The repair should follow evidence of the defect, its location and the pipe’s condition. Share any survey findings or previous work. If the problem is not yet clear, further inspection may be needed first.

Can a drain be repaired without digging?

Some defects can be repaired from inside the pipe using a suitable internal repair method. Other damage needs excavation or replacement. The condition of the pipe and available access determine the options.

Does a recurring blockage mean the pipe is broken?

Not necessarily. Repeated blockages can have several causes. A CCTV inspection may help establish whether damage is involved before structural repairs are proposed.

What happens if excavation is needed?

The proposal should explain the affected section, access requirements and how disturbed surfaces will be reinstated. Ask what material removal and completion checks are included.

Will my insurance cover the repair?

Check directly with your insurer. Cover depends on your policy and the cause of the problem. Ask what evidence and authorisation they require before commissioning work as part of a claim.

What if further damage is discovered?

Agree how unexpected findings will be handled before work starts. Any change to the repair scope and price should be explained and authorised before additional work proceeds.

How much does the work cost?

We quote for the work your property needs. The price depends on the problem, access, preparation and attendance arrangements. When requesting a quote, ask what is included and whether VAT or additional investigation charges apply.
