What Our Clients Say About Fast Drainage Northwest

"Kyle was prompt and efficient and a lovely guy. My cloakroom drain was blocked and he fixed in no time at all. Very reasonable price and would highly recommend his services."

Vivienne Smith

"Kyle was the first to reply to my add and phoned me letting me know what time he would arrive to sort out my problem. He was polite and efficient, cleaned up after he has unblocked my drain and did a brilliant job in less than half an hour. I am more than happy with the work."

Ian Williams

"We needed a new soil pipe fitting, and Kyle assessed the job and quoted that same day. He completed the work in a day and a half, and did a brilliant job. Minimal disruption, and everything cleared up afterwards. Oh, and a good price as well. Highly recommended!"

FAQ

Sewer Connection Questions

Find answers to common questions about connecting new or existing properties to the public sewer network in Wigan.

Q: How much does it cost to unblock a drain?

+

A: Our call-out fee covers coming out, diagnosing the issue, and clearing smaller blockages using rods. If the job needs more advanced kit like high-pressure jetting, we'll give you a clear, fixed quote before we start any work. You won't find any hidden fees with us.

Q: Are you really available 24/7?

+

A: Absolutely, yes. Drainage emergencies don't stick to a 9-to-5 schedule, and neither do we. You can ring us any time, day or night, 365 days a year.

Q: What exactly is your 30-day guarantee?

+

A: If we unblock a drain for you, and that same drain blocks up again (for a reason not caused by people) within 30 days, we promise to return to your property and clear it again, completely free of charge.

Q: My driveway is looking a bit grubby. Can you clean it?

+

A: Yes, alongside our drainage work, we also offer a professional driveway pressure washing service for homes to get your paths and patios looking spotless again.

Q: I need to connect my new property to the public sewer network. Where do I start?

+

A: Connecting a new property or an extension to the public sewer network always needs official approval from your local water authority. You must apply to them and meet their specific requirements. We can offer expert advice and help you understand the process.

Q: What information do I need for a sewer connection application?

+

A: To make an application for a new connection, you’ll typically need to provide plans of your proposed drainage, showing how it will connect to the existing public sewer. The water authority will need to see details of the drainage constructed and how it will meet their standards.

Q: Can Fast Drainage Northwest help me apply for sewer connection approval?

+

A: While we don’t directly handle the application process for you, we can provide vital information, draw up plans, and carry out the necessary drainage work once you've received approval. We help ensure your private drainage system is ready for connection.

Q: Are there charges involved when connecting to a public sewer?

+

A: Yes, the water authority usually applies charges for new connections to the public sewers network. These can vary depending on the size and type of the connection. It's best to request a full breakdown of these charges directly from your local water company.

Q: My existing private drainage system needs to connect to the public sewer. Is the process different?

+

A: If you’re changing from an existing private drainage system (like a septic tank) to connecting to the public sewer, the process is quite similar to a new connection. You still need approval from the water authority, and the work must meet their regulations. We can help with the physical construction of the new connecting drainage.

Q: Do I need special approval to connect to an existing public sewer?

+

A: Yes, any new connection or alteration that ties into the existing public sewer network must have prior approval from the relevant water company. This is to ensure the network can handle the additional flow and that all work is done safely and to standard.
