Drainage Services in Dorking and Its Villages

Monster Drainage Limited provides drainage services in Dorking for homes, landlords and businesses, from the High Street out to the villages of Mole Valley. We clear blocked drains and toilets, jet away stubborn build up, carry out CCTV drain surveys and attend emergencies at any hour. This page walks through the town and the villages around it, then points you to the right page for the job you need.

The Town Centre and the High Street

The centre of Dorking sits on a band of sandy Lower Greensand and is full of older buildings, many of them turned into shops, flats and offices over the years. Drainage in buildings like these has often been extended a piece at a time, so a single run may carry waste from a café kitchen, a flat upstairs and a yard gully. When that run blocks, several people notice at once.

In the centre we plan the work around whoever uses the building. We find which run is affected, clear it with rods or water jetting and check every connected outlet. If the pipe looks cracked or out of line, the camera footage lets you weigh up what to do next.


The Mole, the Pipp Brook and Wet Weather

Dorking stands where the River Mole breaks through the line of the hills, and a smaller stream, the Pipp Brook, meets the river at Pixham. Ground close to a river or stream can stay wet for a long time after heavy rain. Outside gullies and rainwater drains in these spots gather silt and leaves, and a drain that copes in dry weather can back up in a storm. Clearing silt from gullies and chambers before the winter is one of the simplest ways to avoid an urgent visit.

The Box Hill Side of Town

To the north east the land climbs towards Box Hill, which is chalk. Chalk lets water drain away freely, so rainwater soakaways on the higher ground often work well for years. They do fill slowly with silt and grit from the roof, though, and a soakaway that no longer empties sends water back up the downpipe and over the gully. If that happens after every downpour, the soakaway is the first thing we check.

Westcott, Brockham and Newdigate

The villages matter to us as much as the town. Head west along the Guildford road and you reach Westcott; go east and Brockham has its green close to the river; drive south into open country and you come to Newdigate.

Village homes range from old cottages to newer houses, and many have long drain runs across a garden or shared runs between neighbours. Tell us which village you are in when you call and we will plan the visit around it.

Dorking Drainage Pages by Service

For more on one particular job, each of these Dorking pages goes into detail:

Shops, Pubs and Offices in Dorking

Businesses in the town need drains that keep working through opening hours. Pub and restaurant kitchens wash grease and scraps away all day long, and it coats the pipe walls little by little. We offer drain clearance, jetting and CCTV surveys for business premises, and we arrange the work to cause as little disruption as we can. Our commercial drainage page has more.


Clear Quotes and Modern Equipment

You will know the price before we begin, and there are no hidden charges added afterwards. Our engineers arrive with jetting equipment and a drain camera, which means the reason a pipe blocked can be found, not only the blockage itself.

Questions from Dorking Customers

Yes. As well as the town, we cover the villages around it, including Westcott, Brockham and Newdigate, and the homes on the Box Hill side. If you are not sure whether we reach you, call and ask.

Yes. Older buildings often have clay pipes and brick chambers, and we choose methods that clear the blockage without putting the pipework under unnecessary strain. Where we suspect damage, a CCTV survey shows the condition before anything is dug up.

We know that a closed kitchen or toilet costs a business money. Tell us when you are busiest and we will do our best to arrange the visit around it. If a blockage has stopped you trading, we treat it as an emergency.

Phone 08006 546213. Somebody answers day and night, every day, for emergencies such as a toilet backing up, waste coming up through a gully or water flooding a yard.
