Pitch Fibre Drain Replacement in Surrey

Pitch fibre was used for drains in many homes built from roughly the 1950s to the 1970s. Over time it can deform, blister and collapse, which leads to blockages. If you think your property has pitch fibre drains, call AB Drainworks on 01483 323204 or 07917 726634 (mobile and WhatsApp).

What We Do

What we do

We survey the drains with a CCTV camera to confirm whether they're pitch fibre and how bad the damage is. Then we replace or reroute the affected run. We only recommend replacing the sections that need it. Buying a home from that era? A CCTV drain survey before you commit will show what condition the drains are in.

Can pitch fibre be jetted clear?

Age of the property is a clue, but a CCTV survey is the reliable way to find out.

Not always. We replace or reroute the run that's affected.
