Local Knowledge
Drainage In Clifton: What We Know
Clifton's council estate was planned from 1950 and was at one time the largest council estate in Europe. Most of its houses are built from "no-fines" concrete, and since the 1980s most have passed into private ownership. Estates of that age were usually laid with rigid clay drains, whose joints can open with ground movement and let roots in, so repeat blockages are worth a CCTV survey.
Nottingham City Council's preliminary flood risk assessment says much of Clifton drains through sewers and watercourses to the Nethergate and Fairham brooks. Fairham Brook is a main river from Clifton down to the Trent near Clifton Bridge, so the Environment Agency, not the council, looks after it.
Clifton is inside the city boundary, so Nottingham City Council deals with its road gullies. The new Fairham development being built to the south-west is in Rushcliffe, where Nottinghamshire County Council is the highway authority.
Who Is Responsible For Drains In Clifton?
Severn Trent Water owns the public sewers in Clifton, plus any drain you share with neighbours or that runs beyond your boundary. Report a problem with those on 0800 783 4444 (24 hours) or online.
Drains that serve only your property and sit inside your boundary are your responsibility — that's the work we do. Road gullies are Nottingham City Council's. If you rent, your landlord is normally responsible for the drains.

Still Have Questions About Your Drains?
Our engineers are happy to talk you through the problem, the likely fix and the price before you book — no obligation.
For drains and sewers, Clifton is Severn Trent Water. Severn Trent looks after the public sewers and any drain you share with neighbours or that runs beyond your boundary — report problems with those on 0800 783 4444 (24 hours). Drains that serve only your property and sit inside your boundary are your responsibility — and that's the work we do.
Road gullies belong to the highway authority, which in Clifton is Nottingham City Council. Report a blocked or flooding road drain on the council's website. Gullies, channels and manholes inside your own boundary are private, and we can clear those for you.
No. There's no call-out fee in Clifton or anywhere else we cover. Clifton is roughly 40 minutes' drive from Southwell, and our prices are the same as in Nottingham — quoted plus VAT and agreed before we start.
Yes. Fairham is being built on land south-west of Clifton and shares the NG11 postcode, but it's in Rushcliffe borough, so its road drains are Nottinghamshire County Council's rather than the city's. On new-build homes, builders' sand, mortar or concrete sometimes ends up in the new plastic pipes. A CCTV survey will show it, and it can often be jetted out.
