As one of Dorset's fastest-growing towns, Gillingham presents both new-build drainage requirements and older infrastructure challenges. Gillingham's recent housing expansion has introduced modern drainage systems alongside the town's existing Victorian and post-war infrastructure. This creates a mix of old and new systems that sometimes interconnect poorly. The SP8 postcode and surrounding area is part of our regular coverage. We attend callouts across North Dorset multiple times monthly. Response times to Gillingham are typically within 75 minutes for emergencies, with same-day scheduling for standard appointments. ![JD Drainage engineer on-site in Gillingham, Dorset](/assets/van-onsite-ClKfLBt9.jpg) ## Drainage Services Available in Gillingham [ ### Blocked Drains Fast, reliable drain unblocking for homes and businesses using advanced equipment.

[Soakaways](/services/soakaways) are often ineffective in Gillingham without careful design and percolation testing. Surface water management is a persistent challenge. The town's rapid housing growth has put pressure on drainage infrastructure. New developments connect to existing systems that were not designed for the increased load, sometimes causing capacity issues in older downstream sections. Properties in Gillingham's Victorian core have drainage systems that have been adapted over more than a century. These modifications were not always carried out to standard, and [CCTV surveys](/services/cctv-drain-surveys) regularly reveal cross-connections, incorrect gradients, and undocumented branch connections. The River Stour and Lodden influence drainage in lower-lying parts of Gillingham. Flood-risk properties require drainage solutions that accommodate periodic high water tables. ![High-pressure jetting in Gillingham](/assets/jetting-action-p-RUyy4F.jpg) High-Pressure Jetting ![CCTV drain inspection in Gillingham](/assets/cctv-inside-pipe-B46FDDxR.jpg) CCTV Pipe Inspection ![Manhole inspection in Gillingham](/assets/manhole-inspection-B1qwafs6.jpg) Manhole Inspection ![Local drainage engineers in Gillingham](/assets/van-onsite-ClKfLBt9.jpg) Local Engineers ## How We Work in Gillingham 1 ### Call & Assessment Describe the issue by phone.
