Local Engineers
Safe Drain Excavation
Qualified & Trained Engineers
No-dig Where Possible
A cracked, leaking or collapsed drain needs fixing properly but it doesn't always mean digging up your garden. First Fix Response repairs damaged drains the least disruptive way that lasts: no-dig relining wherever the pipe allows it, full excavation where it doesn't.
You get a named local team, an honest assessment of what's actually needed, and the price agreed before we start.
No call-out charge. Call now across the ME postcodes and beyond.


If its a drain and its damaged, we fix it:
Cracked or fractured pipes
Leaking or displaced joints
Collapsed or partially collapsed sections
Sunken, dropped or misaligned pipes
Damage caused by tree roots
Drains that keep blocking because the pipe itself is failing
The first step is always finding out exactly what's wrong — usually with a CCTV survey so the repair targets the real problem, not a guess.

From a one-off blockage to a collapsed pipe, here's everything our drainage team handled. Select any service to see how it works.













Survey & Locate - A CCTV inspection confirms exactly where and how bad the damage is.
Excavate - we open up just the section we need, carefully around other services.
Repair or replace - we replace the damaged length with new pipe, correctly bedded and connected.
Reinstate - we backfill and make good the ground, drive or surface afterwards.
You'll know the scope and the price before we start, and we keep the dig as small as the job allows.

See a list below of our frequently asked questions from our customers
Often, yes. Where the pipe still has a sound bore, we reline it from the inside with no trench. We'll tell you if yours qualifies.
When it's fully collapsed or there's no pipe left to line. In that case we excavate just the damaged section, replace it and reinstate the ground.
Yes, from a partial collapse to a full one, including the locating, excavation and reinstatement.
Collapse and subsidence damage is often covered by buildings insurance. We can't speak for your policy, but we provide the survey footage and reports insurers typically need.
There's no call-out charge, and you'll know the fixed price before we start. It depends on the damage, the depth and whether it's a no-dig or excavation repair, we'll give you a clear figure once we've surveyed it.
Yes. As well as checking the condition inside the pipe, we can trace and map where your drains run, how deep they are and where they connect — useful before an extension, before buying a property, or before any digging. You get a clear map you can keep. Many jobs use both together: map where it is, survey what state it's in.
Yes, we provide drainage services for both residential and commercial customers across Kent & Medway. We work with homeowners, landlords, businesses, restaurants, offices, retail units and industrial properties.
Yes, our emergency drainage engineers can respond quickly to overflowing drains, flooding, blocked manholes and sewage backups. We use professional drainage equipment to identify the cause of the issue and restore safe drainage as quickly as possible.
You may need a CCTV drain survey if you experience recurring blocked drains, bad smells, slow drainage, suspected drain damage or ongoing drainage issues that cannot be identified externally. CCTV surveys allow us to inspect the inside of your drains and diagnose problems accurately.
Yes, all of our drainage engineers are fully insured, experienced and trained to carry out professional drainage services safely and effectively across Kent & Medway.
Yes, we provide professional drain repair services for damaged, cracked and collapsed drains. After identifying the issue, we can recommend the most effective repair solution to restore your drainage system.
Regular drainage maintenance can help prevent blocked drains. Avoid pouring grease down sinks, dispose of waste correctly, keep gutters clear and arrange routine drain cleaning or CCTV inspections if you experience recurring drainage issues.
It depends where the blockage is. A drain inside your boundary that only serves your property is usually yours; a shared or public sewer is the water company's. We'll tell you which it is when we're there, and point you to the right people if it's not yours.
That's a sign the pipe itself needs attention. We'll survey it with a camera and recommend the right repair — root removal, relining or, as a last resort, excavation.
