A Lichfield drainage engineer,
on call 24/7 with a clear price before we start.
Local Sutton Coldfield drainage engineers covering Lichfield. Blocked drains, high-pressure jetting, CCTV surveys and drain repairs, with a clear price agreed before we lift a cover.
Lichfield sits in WS13, roughly 9 miles north of central Sutton Coldfield, about 20 minutes up the A5127 depending on traffic. It's a cathedral city rather than a suburb, so the housing is genuinely mixed: Georgian and Victorian terraces in the conservation centre, 1960s and 70s semis on the outer estates, and newer cul-de-sac developments pushing out towards the ring road. We cover the whole area and the drainage calls we get reflect that mix, from collapsed clay mains under period properties to blocked soakaways on newer builds.
Coming in from Sutton Coldfield we typically approach via the A5127 through Mere Green and Lichfield Road. The older streets near the cathedral close tend to have aging clay pipework and shared sewer runs that were laid long before anyone thought about root ingress. Mature trees along the conservation streets are a genuine recurring problem, sending roots into pipe joints over decades. The lower-lying ground towards Stowe Pool also means some properties see surface water backing up after heavy rain more than their owners expect.

Lichfield FAQ
If the shared sewer was adopted by Severn Trent it's their responsibility to repair it, but clearing a blockage is often quicker if you just call us first. We can locate exactly where the problem is, which saves time if you do need to involve the water authority. We'll tell you honestly whether it's a homeowner issue or something to pass up the chain.
