A Bickington drainage engineer,
on call 24/7 with a clear price before we start.

Bickington sits about 3 miles from central Barnstaple in EX31, a quiet residential village that's grown steadily over the decades. You've got a mix of older cottage-style properties alongside 1990s and early 2000s estate housing, and that combination is exactly what shapes the drainage calls we get out here. Blocked drains, slow-draining inspection chambers and the odd collapsed section of older pipe are the bread and butter. It's a short run from Barnstaple so we're usually with you quickly.

We come out on the road through Roundswell and up towards Bickington, passing the edge of the Roundswell commercial area before the village character takes over. The newer estate streets have standard plastic pipework that holds up well enough, but the older cottage plots often sit on clay pipe runs that are decades old, with joints that tree roots find surprisingly easy to crack into. Mature garden trees are a recurring theme here and, honestly, they cause more blockages in Bickington than anything else.

Most common Bickington jobs
