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

Braunton likes to call itself one of the largest villages in England, and it lives like a small town: a proper high street along Caen Street, estates of bungalows behind it, older cottages up toward the church, and a constant churn of holiday lets serving the surf beaches beyond. We cover EX33 in about fifteen minutes up the A361 from Barnstaple. Burst pipes, cylinder faults and changeover-day emergencies in the lets keep the plumbing side busy, and there's a steady run of septic tank work in the lanes past the village.

You come in past Chivenor on the A361 with the Taw estuary on your left the whole way. The village centre sits low near the River Caen and has flooded before, so the gullies and ground-floor drains there earn their keep in a wet winter. Out past the Great Field and along the coast lanes, mains drainage runs out fast; a lot of those properties are on septic tanks or treatment plants, and we look after plenty of them.

Most common Braunton jobs

• Burst pipes and leaks in holiday lets, usually found on changeover day
• Septic tank emptying and soakaway trouble in the lanes outside the village
• No hot water, cylinder and immersion faults in the bungalow estates
• Backed-up gullies and blocked drains after heavy rain in the low village centre
• Frozen pipework and split outside taps in cold snaps
• Grease blockages for the cafes around Caen Street
