Sticklepath sits on the eastern edge of Barnstaple, about three miles from the town centre in the EX31 postcode, and it's a mixed bag of housing. You've got older terraced cottages along the lower streets, a fair spread of 1970s and 1980s semis on the slopes, and some more recent infill development closer to the main road. We cover this area regularly and the jobs we pick up here tend to be blocked drains, slow-draining sinks and the occasional collapsed or cracked pipe in older sections of the network.
We usually come in off the A39 heading east from Barnstaple, which gets us onto the Sticklepath estate roads quickly. The housing mix means the pipework varies a lot, street by street. Older properties lower down are often still on clay pipes with lead-jointed connections, and those joints are exactly where tree roots find their way in. The gardens on the hillside plots have some well-established trees, and we've pulled root masses out of drains here more than once. Shared sewers running under back gardens are common in the terrace rows and that causes confusion about who's responsible when something backs up.
Most common Sticklepath jobs
- Clearing root ingress from clay drain runs on older terrace properties
- CCTV survey to trace a shared sewer blockage before pointing the finger at the wrong neighbour
- Blocked outside gully on 1980s semi, usually compacted leaves and silt
- Slow kitchen drain traced back to a partial collapse in a clay lateral
- Unblocking toilets backing up after heavy rain on lower-lying plots
- Drain relining where digging up a back garden isn't practical

Sticklepath FAQ
It can be. Some of the lower streets in Sticklepath sit at the bottom of a slope, so surface water puts extra pressure on the system when there's a downpour. If it clears on its own within an hour or two it might just be capacity, but if it's getting worse or smelling, it's worth getting a camera down to check there's no partial blockage or root damage making the problem worse.
