Report Update
Our team have attended the reported gulley. We still require further investigation to resolve the issue. 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
Once we’ve completed the investigation, you will receive an update on this report.
If this issue is causing a potential flooding concern or poses a risk to a property, please call 0345 600 6400.
Thank you.
