  • Great news, we have progress on your report. Our inspection team have completed their investigations and instructed repairs to be completed. At this time the repair does not meet our immediate repair criteria.

    We have added this repair to our future schedule of works. This could be due to several factors we’ve encountered:

    • Further cleaning of the main pipe is required
    • A blockage has been discovered in another area
    • The gulley requires a full replacement

    If this issue is causing a potential flooding concern or poses a risk to a property, please call 0345 600 6400.

    Thank you.
