Guttering & Downpipes Experts Serving Alton
Blocked or damaged gutters and downpipes send rainwater down walls and into foundations — causing damp, erosion, and drainage overload that's far costlier than the fix. A&B Drainage Solutions provides gutter and downpipe services in Alton, backed by over 33 years' experience and fully equipped vans on every job. Our line is answered around the clock, and we typically reach Alton addresses quickly — day or night.
We clear, repair, and replace guttering and downpipes, and trace where downpipes discharge to resolve overloaded gullies and surface-water problems at the same visit. Alton sits in Hampshire, where the public sewers are managed by Southern Water — if a problem turns out to be on the public side, we'll tell you honestly and point you in the right direction. Alton's rural surroundings mean plenty of off-mains drainage work alongside standard town call-outs.

Good to Know Locally
Guttering & Downpipes in Alton: What to Know
Surface water rebate
If your downpipes discharge to a soakaway rather than the public sewer, you may be able to claim a surface water drainage rebate on your Southern Water bill.
Where rainwater should go
Rainwater should go to a surface water drain or soakaway, not the foul drain. Misconnected downpipes can overload drains and sewers in heavy rain.

Who's Responsible for Your Drain in Alton?
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 Alton these belong to Southern Water, so faults on them can be reported to Southern Water free of charge.
Road drains & gullies
Hampshire County Council is responsible for road gullies and surface water on public roads in Alton.
New drains, soakaways & septic tanks
New drainage work needs Building Regulations approval through East Hampshire District Council building control or a registered building control approver. Septic tanks and treatment plants must also meet the Environment Agency's general binding rules.
