Walsall has a large stock of Victorian and Edwardian terraces close to the centre, inter-war and post-war semis across Bloxwich, Aldridge, Pelsall and Rushall, and plenty of commercial and industrial premises near the M6.
In Walsall's terraced streets drains are often shared between houses and run under yards and back alleys, so careful tracing comes first.
In Walsall (WS1 to WS9), Walsall Council handles both planning applications and highways matters such as scaffold licences, skips on the road and dropped kerbs. Our yard at Kimberley Business Park is around seventeen miles south via the A461.
We like to see a drain before we dig it up. A CCTV survey shows the line, depth and condition of the pipe, so we can recommend a targeted repair or a new run rather than guessing.
New drainage is laid to proper falls on a granular bed, with accessible chambers at changes of direction and connections that building control and the sewerage undertaker will accept. Sewer connections in this area are usually made to Severn Trent's network, and we handle the application.

📍 Zara, Walsall
We cleared the old hedging and roots, dug out and prepared the sub-base, and laid a new 6m x 2.4m paved drive with a concrete edging retainer. At the back we laid a 3m x 5m porcelain patio, a 2.5m x 5.6m bark play area where the old shed stood, and 5.4m x 5.6m of artificial grass on a compacted Type 1 sub-base.
📍 Tracy, Willenhall
We dug out and prepared the sub-base for a new 4.4m x 3.1m paved patio and cleared a safe 2.4m access way. We also replaced the failed timber posts and fitted artificial grass that Tracy supplied.
Walsall's older streets have plenty of shared and combined drains, while its industrial sites bring larger groundworks and surfacing jobs. We check the site and any available records before we price the work.
We carry out drainage clearance and jetting as part of survey and repair work, particularly where blockages keep coming back.
It depends on how freely the ground drains and the area feeding it. Building Regulations call for a percolation test, which we can carry out, so the soakaway is sized correctly.
Yes. Diverting or extending drains under or around a new extension is a normal part of our groundworks, including any building-over agreement needed.
We cover Walsall and nearby places including Bloxwich, Aldridge, Pelsall, Rushall and Brownhills, plus the wider Staffordshire and West Midlands area.
