A Newport drainage engineer,
on call 24/7 with a clear price before we start.
Local Barnstaple drainage engineers covering Newport. Blocked drains, high-pressure jetting, CCTV surveys and drain repairs, with a clear price agreed before we lift a cover.
Newport sits just north of Barnstaple's town centre, roughly three miles out on the EX31 patch, and it's a well-established residential area with a real mix of housing. You've got Victorian and Edwardian terraces on the older streets, plenty of 1970s and 1980s semis on the bigger estates, and some more recent infill development scattered throughout. We cover Newport regularly, and the jobs we pick up here range from blocked drains and slow toilets to more involved work on ageing shared sewer runs that were never really built to cope with what's flushing through them today.
We come into Newport off the main A361 corridor, which gets you there quickly from the yard. The older terraced streets tend to sit on clay pipework that's had decades to crack, root-infiltrate and sag at the joints. The 1970s estates are a bit more predictable, but shared sewer connections between semis throw up their own problems when one neighbour's blockage backs up into another's ground floor. There's enough mature tree cover in parts of Newport to keep us busy with root ingress, and low-lying sections near the Taw catchment don't drain freely when the water table's up.
Most common Newport jobs
- Clearing blocked drains on terraced streets where clay pipes have partially collapsed at the joints
- CCTV surveys to find where roots have pushed into shared sewer runs between neighbouring semis
- Unblocking toilets and kitchen wastes on 1970s and 1980s estate properties
- Tracing which shared sewer a property connects to before a house sale survey
- Drain jetting to shift fat and grease build-up in older cast-iron and clay waste lines
- Investigating slow-draining surface water that backs up during heavy rain on lower-lying plots

Newport FAQ
This comes up a lot in Newport where semis share a common sewer run before it reaches the main. If the blockage is on the shared section, it's typically a shared responsibility, though in practice one household usually calls us first. We can CCTV the line and show you exactly where the problem is, which makes any conversation with your neighbour or the water company a lot more straightforward.
