Local context

Drainage in Hastings: what we expect on site.

Drainage work in Hastings begins with a full CCTV push-rod or crawler survey, producing a coded defect report before any remediation is priced. That sequence matters here more than in most districts: the Victorian fishermen's cottages of the Old Town and the streets immediately behind The Stade share inspection chambers between adjacent properties, so the extent of any collapse, root intrusion, or displaced joint must be mapped precisely before ground is broken.

High-pressure water jetting addresses grease and scale accumulations common in the older terraces of TN34 and TN35. Where survey reveals cracked or deformed pipe – frequently original glazed-ware running beneath listed-building footprints – no-dig CIPP lining is the preferred repair, avoiding the need for Listed Building Consent applications that open-cut excavation through a curtilage floor or yard would otherwise trigger. In the Ore district and the later St Leonards-on-Sea stock across TN37 and TN38, cast-iron soil stacks nearing end-of-life are assessed at the same time. Excavation is reserved for collapsed sections beyond the reach of structural lining. There is no callout fee; price is fixed after survey. See /pricing.

Frequently asked

Drainage in Hastings: your questions.

How fast can you reach Hastings for drainage?
Scheduled 1 to 2 working days, target on-site 9am to 5pm slot. We do not run reactive 24/7 callouts in East Sussex unless the district is M25-adjacent (yours is not). Scheduled project visits are slot-booked from our north-west London base. Times quoted are best-effort targets, not contractual guarantees.

Hastings drainage pricing follows the published rate card: CCTV inspection from £349 (weekday daytime, up to 3 manholes), drain mapping from £449 (weekday daytime, up to 3 manholes), CIPP cured-in-place relining from £500 per metre, drain unblock + jetting from £180. Evening / weekend daytime and late night / bank holiday tiers apply. Domestic prices shown inc VAT; commercial quoted ex VAT.
Do you cover all postcodes in Hastings?
Yes. We cover TN34, TN35, TN37, TN38 across Hastings, St Leonards-on-Sea, Ore and the rest of Hastings. Listed-building stock in the Old Town requires careful drainage works; many Victorian fishermen's cottages have shared inspection chambers.
What kit do you bring to Hastings for drainage?
Harben P30/100 4000 PSI jetting trailer or van-mount jetter for tight access, 90 m CCTV crawler with mainline and lateral inspection capability, Picote cutter heads for root ingress, electromechanical rodding for tight bends, and a stocked Class A/B/D manhole cover swap kit for emergency replacement.
