Drainage Experts Covering Southampton
Southampton is one of our busiest coverage areas, with a mix of Victorian terraces, student housing, city-centre commercial premises, and modern waterside developments — each with its own drainage quirks. A&B Drainage Solutions handles domestic, commercial, and industrial drainage right across the city.
Older properties around Portswood, Shirley, and Bevois Valley often suffer from clay pipe failures and root intrusion, while the docks and industrial estates need heavy-duty jetting and tanker capacity. We are equipped for both.
We carry high-capacity jetting and tanker units suited to Southampton's commercial and industrial drainage as well as domestic work.

Local Drainage Guide
Who's Responsible for Your Drain in Southampton?
Your own drain
Pipes that serve only your property and sit inside your boundary are yours to maintain. Many home insurance policies cover accidental damage to them.
Shared drains & public sewers
Since October 2011, drains shared with neighbours or running beyond your boundary are usually public sewers. In Southampton these belong to Southern Water, so faults on them can be reported to Southern Water free of charge.
Road drains & gullies
Southampton City Council is responsible for road gullies and surface water on public roads in Southampton.
New drains, soakaways & septic tanks
New drainage work needs Building Regulations approval through Southampton City Council building control or a registered building control approver. Septic tanks and treatment plants must also meet the Environment Agency's general binding rules.
Not sure which applies? A CCTV drain survey shows exactly where your pipes end and the public sewer begins.Local authority details checked October 2026.
