Drain Services in Reddish
Patch drain repairs
Seal one crack or open joint without digging. Patch repairs only, not full relining.
Mill Terraces, Semis and Their Drains
Reddish grew rapidly during the Industrial Revolution. Houldsworth Mill, a former textile mill, still stands as a landmark. Census figures quoted on Wikipedia show that most homes are terraced or semi-detached.
In the North Reddish ward, 46% were semis and 36% terraced. In South Reddish, 44% were terraced, 29% semis and 22% flats. There are no tower blocks.
Mill workers' terraces
Some housing built by factory owners for their workers survives. Mid-19th-century terraces on Greg Street, Birkdale Road and Broadstone Hall Road South were built by the Gregs for their mill workers. Furnival Street dates from 1886, and Houldsworth Street faces Houldsworth's mill.
Terraces of this age usually have clay pipes and brick chambers, often with one run serving several houses at the back. That shared section is generally United Utilities' responsibility.
Interwar and post-war semis
North Reddish has a higher share of semi-detached homes. Their drains are usually clay, with a gully under the kitchen window and sometimes a manhole shared with next door. Grease in gullies and roots at joints are the familiar problems.
Flats
More than a fifth of homes in South Reddish are flats. When a shared stack or drain blocks, every flat on it can be affected.
The River Tame runs along the edge of Reddish through Reddish Vale. On the lower ground near the valley, surface water after heavy rain isn't always a sign of a blocked drain.
Common Reddish Blockages
- Shared drains behind Victorian terraces
- Blocked toilets and soil stacks
- Kitchen gullies blocked with fat
- Drains in flats backing up on a shared run
- Drains serving the shops around Houldsworth Square
Old Pipes, Clear Answers
In older Reddish terraces, a CCTV drain survey shows whether a recurring blockage is a crack, a displaced joint or a sag. Domestic surveys start from £260 + VAT for a 2-bed house. Isolated defects can often be sealed with a patch drain repair.
We offer patch repairs only, not full relining. For broken pipes, we carry out excavations and repairs.

Reddish Drain FAQs
Do you cover North and South Reddish?
Yes. We cover SK5 6, SK5 7 and the Reddish part of SK4 1.
The drain behind our terrace serves several houses. Is it my responsibility?
Generally not. Drains shared by more than one property are usually United Utilities' responsibility. We'll tell you where the blockage is so you know who to contact.
Can you clear a blocked drain in a flat?
Yes. We clear blocked sinks, toilets and shared stacks in flats. Where the blockage is in a communal drain, we'll explain who is responsible.
