Drainage & Groundworks in Pickering

Q: Do you do groundworks as well as drainage?

Yes — TC Drains covers drainage and groundworks. If a drain is damaged underground, we can handle excavation, repairs and reinstatement as part of the same job.

Q: Will you need to dig up my drive or garden?

Not always. We’ll diagnose first (often with CCTV). If excavation is required, we’ll explain why, outline the options, and aim to minimise disruption.

Q: What’s included in drain unblocking?

Typically: assessing the issue, carrying out the work safely, and explaining next steps before any extra work. If additional work is needed, we’ll explain it and confirm pricing before proceeding.

Q: Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes — we offer 24/7 emergency support for urgent drainage issues across Pickering. Call 01653 300 985 and we’ll confirm availability.

Q: Can you stop the problem coming back?

In many cases, yes. We’ll identify the cause (build-up, roots, damage, poor falls) and recommend the right fix — from cleaning to repairs and groundworks.

Q: How much does it cost?

We keep pricing clear and confirm a quote before work starts. Drain unblocking starts from £85, no VAT (subject to the job). Groundworks and repairs are quoted individually.

If we find a structural issue, we’ll explain the options and handle the groundworks required to repair the pipework safely.

Typical callouts include

Blocked sinks, baths and showers
Blocked toilets and soil pipes
Outside drains, gullies and channels

Drain Jetting Details

Jetting to restore flow and reduce repeat blockages

CCTV Drain Surveys Details

Accurate diagnosis with clear repair options

Some drainage problems can’t be confirmed from the surface. CCTV lets us identify the exact location and cause.

You’ll get straightforward recommendations — from cleaning to repair work and groundworks if required.

Professional CCTV surveys

The latest CCTV camera equipment
Remotely controlled system operated by experts
Real-time image relay for locating obstructions
Inspection for visible cracks, displaced joints and root intrusion
Recommendations for any separate clearance or repair work

Root Cutting Details

Root cutting to stop recurring blockages

Tree roots can enter drains through cracks or joints and catch waste, leading to slow flow and repeat blockages.

We cut and clear roots from the pipework, then explain whether a CCTV inspection or repair is needed. Cutting roots restores space in the drain, but sealing a suitable entry point may be needed to reduce regrowth.

Expert root removal services

Root intrusion identification and removal
The latest equipment to ensure thorough root cutting
Water jetting to remove root debris and other remnants
Drain repairs and patch work post root removal

Patch Lining Details

Local repairs that prevent repeat problems

When a drain repeatedly blocks or leaks, the cause is often a specific defect catching debris or letting roots in. Patch lining seals and reinforces that section from within the pipe.

We’ll confirm suitability after inspection, explain the options clearly, and recommend the most practical long-term fix — whether that’s trenchless repair or an excavation-led repair with proper reinstatement.

Patch lining can help with

Cracks and localised fractures
Leaking or failed joints
Root entry points (after root cutting)
Infiltration/ingress at a specific spot
Defects confirmed on CCTV inspection

Drain Repairs Details

Drain repairs with in-house groundworks

If your pipework is damaged, you need a repair that stops repeat callouts. We assess the defect and recommend the most cost-effective fix.

Because we handle groundworks, we can excavate safely, repair/replace the section, and reinstate the surface properly.

Repair work often includes

Excavation and replacement of damaged sections
Repairs to joints, connections and manholes
Resolving fall issues where practical
Surface reinstatement (path/driveway/garden areas)
Emergency repairs with 24-hour call out
