Great Hivings is a residential neighbourhood sitting on the eastern edge of Chesham, mostly HP5, about 15 minutes' drive from our yard in the town centre. The housing stock is a mix of 1960s and 1970s semis and short terraces, with some later infill development added over the decades. Drainage calls here tend to be blocked drains, slow-clearing gullies and the occasional collapsed lateral, the kind of bread-and-butter work that comes with ageing clay and early plastic pipework that's had fifty years of use.
We typically come in from Chesham town centre heading out on the roads that skirt the eastern slopes of the Chess valley. The estate layout means a lot of shared private drains running under rear gardens and between houses, which makes tracing a blockage or a root intrusion more involved than it looks. Clay pipe joints from the original builds are the thing to watch here. Tree roots from mature garden planting have had decades to find those joints, and we pull root mass out of these systems more often than most parts of Chesham.
Most common Great Hivings jobs
- Clearing root-blocked clay drains under rear gardens
- CCTV survey of shared laterals to find the responsible section before owners fall out about it
- Unblocking kitchen sink and soil stack connections on 1970s semis
- Collapsed earthenware pipe repairs where ground movement has opened a joint
- Slow outdoor gully clearing after leaf fall backs up the surface water run-off

Great Hivings FAQ
It depends where the blockage sits. If it's within your boundary, it's generally your responsibility. If it's in a shared section beyond both properties, you'd normally split the cost. We can run a CCTV survey to pinpoint exactly where the problem is, which saves the argument and means whoever's liable knows before any money changes hands.
