Local Knowledge
Drainage In Nottingham: What We Know
Much of inner Nottingham — Sneinton, Radford, Hyson Green, Lenton and The Meadows — is red-brick Victorian and Edwardian terracing. Rear drains on these streets are often shared by several houses before they reach the sewer, and since October 2011 shared sections like these have normally been Severn Trent's responsibility rather than the homeowner's. Our camera shows exactly which section is blocked, so you know who should pay.
The city is built on a ridge of soft Sherwood Sandstone — the rock its famous caves are cut into. Sandy ground often suits soakaways, but water escaping from a cracked or open joint can wash sand away from around an old pipe, so recurring blockages or sunken paving here are worth a CCTV survey before anyone digs.
Nottinghamshire County Council's preliminary flood risk assessment notes that groundwater has been rising since industrial pumping stopped, which can flood cellars. If a basement is damp, it's worth ruling that out before blaming a drain.
The Environment Agency's £45m Nottingham Trent Left Bank scheme, completed in 2012, runs 27 km from Sawley to Colwick and protects around 16,000 properties from the Trent. It doesn't stop surface-water or sewer flooding after a cloudburst, which is where clear gullies and drains matter.
Who Is Responsible For Drains In Nottingham?
Severn Trent Water owns the public sewers in Nottingham, 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, Nottingham 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 Nottingham 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 Nottingham or anywhere else we cover. Nottingham is roughly 35 minutes' drive from Southwell, and our prices are the same as in Nottingham — quoted plus VAT and agreed before we start.
Yes. We cover every NG1–NG9 and NG11 postcode in the city — from Bulwell and Bestwood to Clifton and Wilford — plus the suburbs outside the city boundary in Gedling, Rushcliffe and Broxtowe, such as Arnold, Carlton, West Bridgford and Beeston. Enter your postcode when you book online to confirm.
Usually, yes. Our engineers carry hand rods and compact equipment that can go through a house or down a shared entry, and we protect floors while we work. If the only inspection chamber is in a neighbour's garden we'll help you arrange access — and if the blocked pipe is shared, Severn Trent may be responsible for clearing it.
No. The city council deals with road gullies, not private drains. Pipes serving only your property are yours; shared pipes and the sewer are Severn Trent's. Landlords are normally responsible for drains at rented homes, so tenants should report problems to their landlord or agent first.
