1st Porter Call is based nearby and provides drain clearance, CCTV drain surveys, high pressure jetting and plumbing repairs across Fair Oak, Bishopstoke and the villages between Eastleigh and Winchester. These are some of our closest postcodes, so we can usually attend quickly.
Fair Oak and Horton Heath have grown a great deal in recent years, and a lot of the newer housing shares drainage runs and pumping arrangements between plots. Bishopstoke, by contrast, has a good deal of older pipework alongside the Itchen. The two need different diagnostics, and it is worth saying which you are in when you call.
We cover Fair Oak, Bishopstoke, Horton Heath, Colden Common, Owslebury, Upham, Durley and Twyford, and neighbouring Eastleigh, Chandlers Ford and Winchester. The usual causes are cooking fat, wet wipes, silt, scale and root ingress, plus surface water problems where gullies and soakaways have silted up.
Most blockages clear on the first visit with rodding or jetting. There is no separate call-out fee.
On newer estates, a blockage in one property is often caused by something further along a run shared with several neighbours, or by construction debris left in the system. If several houses are affected at once, that is a strong sign the problem is on the shared section rather than in your own pipework.
We can camera the run to establish where the blockage actually is, which matters because responsibility, and therefore who pays, depends on where the fault sits relative to your boundary.
Parts of Bishopstoke sit close to the river and see standing water in prolonged wet weather. Where gullies back up during heavy rain but run normally otherwise, the drain is usually partly restricted rather than broken, and jetting the run restores enough capacity to cope.

Fair Oak and Bishopstoke are among our nearest areas, so response times are usually short. Call and we will give you a realistic time.
If the blockage is on a shared run beyond your boundary it is normally the water company's responsibility. We can confirm where the fault is before any chargeable work goes ahead.
