Living with the Thames

Staines grew up around its river crossing, and the river still shapes how its drains behave. The ground near the Thames, and around the reservoirs and gravel lakes to the north and west, holds a lot of water. In wet winters the water table rises, and the flooding of 2014 is still remembered in Staines, Egham Hythe and Wraysbury.

When the ground is saturated, surface water drains fill quickly and older foul drains can take in water through cracked joints. That extra water overloads the system, and toilets and gullies are slow to empty. A CCTV survey shows where water is getting in so it can be sealed by relining.

New flats in the town centre

The centre of Staines has changed a great deal, with new apartment blocks along the river and around the station. Modern blocks use plastic pipes that rarely crack, but long horizontal runs and many households on one stack make blockages from wipes and fat common. We clear them and report back to the building's managing agent.

Shops, offices and the area around the airport

With Heathrow just to the north, Staines, Stanwell and Ashford have plenty of offices, hotels, warehouses and units with their own drainage. A blocked drain there can close a business, so we treat it as urgent and can work out of hours to keep disruption down.

Egham, Englefield Green and Virginia Water

West of the river, Egham has a large student population around the university, with shared houses that see heavy use of kitchens and bathrooms. Englefield Green and Virginia Water have bigger homes with private drainage running some distance before it meets the sewer. We clear and survey both, and give landlords a written report they can keep on file.

Laleham, Stanwell and the reservoir villages

Laleham's lanes run down to the towpath, with cottages and bungalows on soakaways and long gravel drives. Stanwell and Stanwell Moor, hemmed in by reservoirs and the airport perimeter, have tightly packed post-war council-built semis where one blocked shared run can affect a whole row. Thorpe and Wraysbury, across the gravel pits, each have their own quirks. We cover every one of them.

Questions

Drains in Staines: asked and answered

Do you cover Egham and Laleham?

Yes, along with Stanwell, Ashford, Thorpe, Wraysbury, Virginia Water and everywhere else within about 30 miles of Sunbury.

My drains are slow every time it rains. Why?

Usually rainwater or groundwater is getting into the foul drain, or a gully is silted up. We can find out which with a camera and fix it.
