A Amersham drainage engineer,
on call 24/7 with a clear price before we start.
Local Chesham drainage engineers covering Amersham. Blocked drains, high-pressure jetting, CCTV surveys and drain repairs, with a clear price agreed before we lift a cover.
Amersham sits about 3 miles from our yard in central Chesham, so we're usually with you inside half an hour. The HP6 postcode covers two quite different areas: Old Amersham's tight Georgian and Victorian streets down in the valley, and Amersham-on-the-Hill's Edwardian and interwar semis clustered around the Metropolitan line. Mix in some 1960s and 70s infill and you've got a wide range of pipe ages. We're out here regularly for blocked drains, root ingress and failing old clay pipe runs.
We come in off the A416, dropping down through the hill into the town. Old Amersham is where the interesting work is, drainage-wise: narrow back yards, shared Victorian sewer runs and clay pipes that are well over a hundred years old. The streets up on the hill tend to have better-maintained systems but the mature lime and beech trees lining residential roads do real damage to pipe joints over time. If your property backs onto any of the older closes or the valley gardens, expect root ingress to be a recurring issue rather than a one-off fix.

Amersham FAQ
Shared sewers that were adopted by Thames Water are their responsibility, not yours. But a lot of the older shared runs in Old Amersham were built before adoption rules tightened up and can sit in a grey area. We can do a CCTV survey to establish exactly where the blockage or damage is, which makes it much easier to work out who's liable before anyone spends money.
