Fleet is the largest town in Hart district, centred around Fleet Pond, the largest freshwater lake in Hampshire. The town has a mix of established 1960s and 1970s residential estates, Victorian and Edwardian properties near Fleet Road, and newer developments at Elvetham Heath and Ancells Farm. Fleet's drainage infrastructure reflects this mix — older properties may have clay or pitch fibre pipes, while newer estates have modern plastic drainage. The town's proximity to Fleet Pond and local watercourses means that groundwater levels can affect drainage performance, particularly in lower-lying areas. The clay-rich soils in parts of Fleet can also contribute to slow drainage and surface water problems. Our engineers are experienced with all the drainage system types found across Fleet and the surrounding areas of Church Crookham and Crookham Village.
Call-out to a 1970s detached house in Ancells Farm: The homeowner had experienced recurring kitchen drain blockages over several months, despite attempts to clear them with shop-bought drain cleaners. Our CCTV survey revealed that the property's original pitch fibre drainage had begun to delaminate internally, with the pipe walls blistering and reducing the effective bore by approximately 50%. This is a common failure mode in pitch fibre pipes of this age. Accumulated grease was catching on the rough internal surface, creating frequent blockages. We carried out a full high-pressure jetting to clear the pipes, followed by structural relining of the 15-metre main drain run. The resin liner created a smooth new pipe surface within the old pitch fibre, permanently resolving both the delamination and the grease buildup problem. Result: no further blockages and a drainage system that should last decades. Tip: Fleet properties built in the 1960s-70s with pitch fibre drains should consider proactive relining before problems become severe.

CCTV SurveysA CCTV drain survey before buying a property can reveal hidden problems that cost thousands to fix. Here's what you need to know.
Fleet properties commonly experience issues with tree root ingress due to the town's mature tree cover, particularly around Fleet Pond and the older residential streets. Properties from the 1960s and 70s may have pitch fibre pipes that deteriorate over time, causing progressive drainage slowdowns. Clay soils in some areas can also contribute to waterlogging.
