Coombe Vale sits in the quieter, leafier fringe of the KT3 postcode, about three miles from our yard in central New Malden. It's predominantly large detached and semi-detached houses, many built in the 1930s and post-war decades, with some more recent infill development on former garden plots. Drainage work here tends to split between blocked soakaways struggling with heavy clay ground, root-damaged clay pipe runs under mature gardens, and the occasional collapsed joint on ageing combined sewers serving older properties.
We come out this way on the roads that skirt the Coombe Hill and Coombe Lane corridor, which gives you a sense of the area straight away: wide plots, long front drives, and plenty of established trees whose roots have had decades to find the nearest pipe joint. The pipework on many of these properties dates to the 1930s original build, vitrified clay runs that have shifted over the years. Shared sewer arrangements between neighbouring plots catch people out more than anything else here, particularly when one owner thinks a blockage is entirely their problem and it turns out it isn't.
Most common Coombe Vale jobs
- Clearing slow-draining kitchen and bathroom stacks on 1930s detached houses where clay pipes have partially collapsed at a joint
- CCTV surveys to trace shared sewer boundaries before owners sell or extend
- Root ingress clearance in long rear-garden runs, usually from mature oak or willow
- Soakaway failure on properties where the original drainage design wasn't built for today's paved-over drives
- Tracing recurring blockages that turn out to be a dip or belly in an ageing lateral under the front garden

Coombe Vale FAQ
On these larger plots the surface water drainage often runs a long way before it connects to a soakaway or a drain at the road. If the driveway's been extended or re-laid at any point, it's common for the falls to have changed and for water to pond near a low point like a garage apron. We'd check the gulley, clear any silt, and run a CCTV survey on the underground section to see whether there's a blockage, a collapsed pipe, or simply a section that's settled out of level.
