If you live in Burghfield and you’ve got a blocked drain, a bad smell from the pipes, or water pooling where it shouldn’t be, we can help. 24hrs Drainage is based in Reading — just a short drive from Burghfield village, Burghfield Common and Burghfield Bridge. We know the area well and we’re here day and night.
Burghfield sits in the Kennet Valley with the River Kennet and the Kennet and Avon Canal running along the north of the parish. That low-lying ground, combined with London Clay soil underneath, means drainage problems are common here. Heavy rain, high water tables and older pipe systems can all cause trouble — especially around Burghfield Bridge and the streets closest to the river.
Whether you’re in one of the newer estates on Burghfield Common, a period property near the village centre, or a rural home on the outskirts towards Sulhamstead or Mortimer, we’ve got the kit and the know-how to sort your drains out fast.
We handle everything from simple blockages to full installations. Here’s what we can do for you.

From heavy clay soil to flood-prone areas, Burghfield homes often face drainage issues that need closer attention.
Burghfield sits on London Clay. This type of soil holds water and doesn’t drain well on its own. In wet weather, the ground becomes saturated and puts pressure on your drainage system. In dry spells, clay shrinks and can shift pipes out of line. Both cause problems.
Parts of Burghfield, particularly near Burghfield Bridge and the lower-lying areas close to the Kennet, have been affected by flooding in recent years. When river levels rise, surface water and foul drains can back up. Regular maintenance and CCTV checks help you stay ahead of this.
Burghfield is a green, leafy parish with mature trees throughout the village and along the canal. Tree roots naturally seek out moisture and can force their way into cracked or aging pipes. If your drains keep blocking in the same spot, roots could be the cause.
Many homes in Burghfield village were built decades ago, some much earlier. Older clay or pitch-fibre pipes wear out over time and are more likely to crack, collapse or let roots in. If your property is more than 30 years old, a CCTV survey is a wise investment.
With ongoing housing development in Burghfield Common, new-build estates sometimes have drainage issues too. Poorly laid pipes during construction can lead to early blockages. If you’re buying new, a home buyer drain survey is still a good idea.
