Drainage Services — Lanark
From the A73 into Lanark, we handle drainage services for heritage properties at any hour. Most Lanark calls are answered inside a couple of rings, including at 3am.
In short: drainage services anywhere in Lanark, attended 24 hours a day, priced before work starts and backed by £5m public liability cover. Camera evidence supplied on request at no extra cost.
On the ground in Lanark
Lanark's historic centre has narrow access and protected frontages, so trenchless repair is often the only practical fix.
Original stone-built drainage runs deeper and at odd angles here, so surveying comes before any quote. Once you know that, the repeat blockages usually make sense.
Shared and private runs sit side by side across Lanark's protected historic frontages and narrow-access closes, so ownership is established before work starts. Knowing that before we arrive in Lanark saves guessing on site.
heritage properties make up most of our Lanark diary, though Lanark High Street and New Lanark visitor area keep the commercial side busy too. Hose reach is around 60 metres from the van, which covers all but the longest runs.
Parking near the property is the only real constraint here — the run in from the A70 takes no time. Either way, arrival times to Lanark are given honestly rather than optimistically.
Distance is not the constraint in Lanark — 25 miles from Glasgow is a routine run for us on the A73. Kerbside space is the only thing we ever really need in Lanark.
Everything drainage, handled in-house. Whether it is a blocked gully at midnight or a planned lining job on a commercial site, the same team sees it through from diagnosis to repair.
Because we clear, survey and repair ourselves, nothing gets passed between contractors and nothing gets lost in translation. That is the part other firms tend to skip on Lanark call-outs.
Common causes we find in Lanark
- Blocked and slow-running drains
- Recurring problems with no obvious cause
- Damaged, cracked or collapsed pipework
- Drainage condition unknown before a purchase
- Commercial premises needing planned cover
How we do the work in Lanark
Where a pipe has collapsed entirely, open-cut replacement in the same trench line is usually cheaper than lining a broken section. We see the same sequence often enough in Lanark to know what to look for.
Jetting pressure is dialled to the pipe: full bore on cast iron and vitrified clay, backed right off on thin-wall plastic common in newer Lanark housing. Kerbside space is the only thing we ever really need in Lanark.

Lanark drainage FAQs
How quickly can you get to Lanark?
We're based in Pumpherston and reach Lanark via the A73. Most call-outs are attended the same day and urgent jobs usually within a couple of hours. Ring 07427 195142 for a realistic arrival time before you book. We are happy to talk it through on the phone first.
What does drainage services cost in Lanark?
Price depends on what we find, so we agree it with you before any work starts. There is never a charge for turning up in Lanark, and we will tell you if the job is smaller than you feared. There is no charge for the advice either way.
Do you work on protected historic frontages in Lanark?
Regularly. Listed buildings limit what can be dug or altered, so patch lining is usually the only realistic repair. We adjust the method — jetting pressure, rodding or no-dig repair — to suit the pipe we find. We will put the answer in writing if you need it for a third party.
Is the drain my responsibility or Scottish Water's?
Anything inside your boundary is normally yours; the shared sewer beyond it is not. On Lanark jobs we camera the run so you can see exactly where the fault sits before anyone pays for it. It is worth mentioning when you describe the problem to us.
Do you cover both domestic and commercial work?
Yes — homeowners, landlords, factors, hospitality, retail and commercial sites.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry £5 million public liability insurance and hold NRSWA, high pressure water jetting and confined spaces credentials.
How quickly can you get to me?
We operate 24/7 across West Lothian, Edinburgh, Falkirk, Lanarkshire and Fife and aim to attend urgent work the same day.
