Drainage in Woking.

Woking's chalk-aquifer geology means that even properties with relatively modern drainage can present with root ingress and joint displacement where the chalk sub-base shifts under seasonal load. The mix of Victorian clay-pipe runs beneath Knaphill and inter-war stock in central Woking, combined with 1970s and 1980s PVCu lateral connections across West Byfleet and Pyrford, produces a wide range of failure modes in a compact borough.

Every survey begins with a push-rod CCTV camera inspection to establish the pipe condition, fall, and any live blockage before any equipment enters the run. High-pressure water jetting follows for grease accumulation, root mass or scale that has narrowed the bore. Where the pipe fabric itself has failed – cracked clay, deformed PVCu or displaced joints – no-dig CIPP lining is the standard first option, avoiding excavation in built-up areas and within the RHS Wisley curtilage properties where ground disturbance is sensitive. Excavation and replacement is reserved for collapsed sections or misaligned connections that relining cannot address. There is no callout fee; a fixed price is confirmed after the CCTV report.
