Drainage Services across Linlithgow
Curran Drainage Services is a family-run team working across Linlithgow and the rest of West Lothian, handling drainage services for homeowners, landlords and businesses. We are 20 minutes from most Linlithgow addresses with a full kit on board.
In short: drainage services anywhere in Linlithgow, attended 24 hours a day, priced before work starts and backed by £5m public liability cover. One local number covers every Linlithgow job, emergency or planned.
Why Linlithgow properties call us
Linlithgow's conservation-area properties and steep vennels off the High Street make no-dig repair the sensible option wherever the pipe can take a liner.
Original stone-built drainage runs deeper and at odd angles here, so surveying comes before any quote. The pipe material tells you as much about the likely fault as the symptom does.
riverside modern housing adds a third pattern to the conservation-area townhouses and steep vennels off the High Street we mostly deal with in Linlithgow. Two properties on the same street can still need completely different approaches.
homeowners make up most of our Linlithgow diary, though Linlithgow High Street and Mill Road Industrial Estate keep the commercial side busy too. Nothing about the location changes the rate you are quoted.
We reach Linlithgow on the M9 J3, so vans are rarely far away. If a second engineer is needed for access or safety, that is arranged before we set out.
Linlithgow lies 8 miles from Falkirk, on the West Lothian side of that gap rather than the city side. Kerbside space is the only thing we ever really need in Linlithgow.
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.
Domestic, commercial and property-management work all get the same 24/7 availability. That is the part other firms tend to skip on Linlithgow call-outs.

How we do the work in Linlithgow
Everything is left flushed through and tested with running water before we pack the van. Catching it at that stage is the difference between a clearance and a repair.
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 Linlithgow housing. Linlithgow sits in the round we cover daily, so this is routine rather than a special trip.

Linlithgow drainage FAQs
What should I do before you arrive in Linlithgow?
Stop using water in the property if it is backing up, clear access to the chamber if you can find it, and take a photo of the overflow — it helps us bring the right kit to Linlithgow first time. Ask when you call and we will confirm it for your address.
Do you guarantee the work?
Yes. If the same fault returns within the guarantee period we come back to Linlithgow at no charge — and if the cause is structural we will have flagged that on the first visit rather than after it. There is no charge for the advice either way.
What causes most blockages around West Lothian?
Fat and wipes in domestic property, grease in food premises, roots and displaced joints in the older runs. We tell you which of those it was, not just that the drain is running again. It is worth mentioning when you describe the problem to us.
Will jetting damage old pipework?
Not when the pressure is matched to the pipe. On fragile clay or thin plastic in Linlithgow we drop the pressure and use rods or a milling head instead where that is the safer option. Ask when you call and we will confirm it for your address.
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.
