Stoughton: a mix of older and newer homes

Stoughton is a mainly residential suburb to the north of Guildford town centre. Public sources note that the former Stoughton Barracks site was redeveloped for housing in the 1990s and renamed Cardwell's Keep, and that Bellfields lies next door.

Redevelopment means some homes here are built on land that was cleared and laid out again, while others sit on older streets with drains laid earlier. Drains in a newer estate are generally more recent than those on the older streets next to it, though neither group is free of problems. If you aren't sure how old your pipework is, a survey answers it. It is also worth asking neighbours whether anyone has had drain trouble recently, because on a shared run one household's problem is often everyone's.

Shared drains and who looks after them

Homes built in groups, such as terraces, flats and estates, often share pipework. That raises a question before any repair: whose pipe is it?

  • A pipe serving one home

    This is generally the owner's responsibility, from the house to the boundary.

  • A pipe serving several homes

    Since 2011 many shared pipes belong to the water company, but there are exceptions, so confirm before work is arranged.

  • Flats and managed estates

    The drainage for a block or a managed estate may be looked after by a landlord or management company. Check before calling out someone yourself.

  • Rented homes

    Your tenancy agreement or landlord should say who deals with a blocked drain.

Drain questions from Stoughton and nearby

Do you cover Cardwell's Keep and the Bellfields side of Stoughton?

We are serving Stoughton and nearby parts of Guildford, including Bellfields. If you want to check your road, ring and ask.

Are drains in the redeveloped part of Stoughton newer?

Probably, since the area was redeveloped in the 1990s, but that is an assumption about the area rather than a fact about any one house. A drain survey shows what is actually there.

Who do I call about a blocked drain in a flat?

Start with whoever manages the building. The drainage for a block is often looked after by a landlord or managing agent, and calling someone yourself could leave you with a bill that isn't yours.

What should I do if neighbours have the same problem?

That suggests a shared pipe. Talk to your neighbours, and ring us with what you've found, because the pipe may be the water company's responsibility.
