1st Porter Call provides drain clearance, CCTV drain surveys, high pressure jetting and plumbing repairs across Hedge End and the surrounding villages. We are based a short drive away near Eastleigh, so we can usually reach Hedge End quickly for blocked toilets, overflowing gullies, slow draining sinks and burst pipes.
Much of Hedge End is made up of newer estates built from the 1980s onwards, where shared drainage runs between neighbouring properties are common. When a run like that blocks, the symptoms often appear in one house while the actual blockage sits further downstream, so the first job is usually working out where the problem really is.
We attend callouts throughout Hedge End, West End, Botley, Netley, Bursledon, Old Netley and Boorley Green, as well as neighbouring Southampton, Eastleigh and Fareham. Typical causes are cooking fat, wet wipes, silt build-up, scale, leaf fall from the mature planting around the older parts of the village, and root ingress into clay pipework.
Most blockages clear with rodding or high pressure jetting on the first visit. There is no separate call-out fee, and we will tell you what we think is wrong and what it will take to fix before we start.
If a drain keeps blocking, clearing it again only buys time. A CCTV drain survey inspects the pipework properly and shows whether the cause is root damage, a cracked or displaced joint, scale, or a section that has collapsed or bellied. Once we can see it, we can give you a straight answer on whether it needs cleaning, patching or excavation.
Surveys are also worth having before you buy a property in the area, or before an extension or driveway goes in over an existing drain run.
We work with shops, offices, pubs, takeaways and industrial units around Hedge End and the Botley Road and Charles Watts Way business areas. Grease-related blockages in food premises are a regular job, and we can advise on jetting intervals to keep a kitchen drain from backing up during service.
As a Buy With Confidence member, 1st Porter Call is part of the Trading Standards approved scheme, so you are dealing with a local firm that has agreed to be independently checked.
Yes. We cover Hedge End, West End, Botley, Netley, Bursledon, Old Netley and Boorley Green.
Shared drains serving more than one property are usually the water company's responsibility, while the pipework inside your boundary is yours. We can identify which side of that line the blockage sits on before any chargeable work goes ahead.
We are based near Eastleigh, so Hedge End is a short run for us. Call and we will confirm a realistic time rather than a vague window.
