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

Swimbridge is a small village sitting about 4 miles south-east of central Barnstaple in the EX32 postcode, and it's the kind of place where older stone cottages and traditional Devon longhouses sit alongside a handful of more modern rural conversions. Most of the drainage jobs we pick up out here involve older properties where the pipework hasn't been touched in decades. It's a short run from Barnstaple but the rural setting means issues tend to go unnoticed longer than they would in town.

We come out on the A361 and drop down into the village from the north. The housing stock is predominantly older stone-built properties with clay pipe runs that were laid well before anyone worried about root ingress or joint alignment. Mature trees are everywhere in and around the village boundary, and they find their way into pipe joints given half a chance. Shared private drainage arrangements are common out here too, which means when one property has a problem, their neighbour usually does as well.

Most common Swimbridge jobs

• Clearing blockages in clay drain runs blocked by ingrown tree roots
• CCTV surveys on older stone cottages where nobody knows where the drain goes
• Shared sewer disputes between neighbouring rural properties
• Collapsed or displaced pipe joints on long runs across garden ground
• Septic tank inlet pipe clearance where solids have backed up into the line
