Pumpherston drainage FAQs
How quickly can you get to Pumpherston?

Do you work on original shale-village rows in Pumpherston?
Regularly. Rows built for shale workers share rear drainage between several houses, so a single blockage affects a whole terrace. We adjust the method — jetting pressure, rodding or no-dig repair — to suit the pipe we find. There is no charge for the advice either way.

Yes, and at no extra rate. Nights, weekends and public holidays are charged the same as a Tuesday morning in EH53. It is worth mentioning when you describe the problem to us.
Will you need to dig up my garden or driveway?
Only as a last resort. In Pumpherston we survey first and use patch lining or relining wherever the pipe allows, which avoids excavation entirely on most jobs. Most people in Pumpherston ask this, so you are not alone.

No. There is no call-out charge — you are quoted for the work itself.
