Define the defect before the repair

Drain repairs in New Milton should begin with an understanding of the affected section. Share reports, footage and symptoms, including previous attempts at clearance. Where damage or its location remains uncertain, further investigation may be necessary before choosing a method.

SouthFlow drainage work and equipment

Choose a method suited to the site

Some defects suit internal repair while others require direct access or excavation. Existing condition, access and nearby surfaces or structures influence the proposal. Explain shared areas and who can arrange entry or authorise disturbance.

Review preparation and reinstatement

Ask what the quote includes from preparation through completion checks. Where excavation is proposed, clarify removal of material and reinstatement of affected surfaces. Agree how unexpected findings will be handled. SouthFlow is based in Petersfield and carries £5 million public liability insurance.

Your New Milton 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.
