Services
Blocked drain clearance
Our blocked drain clearance service utilises high-pressure jetting and rodding equipment to quickly resolve drainage issues. Engineers perform a free 'Quick Look' CCTV survey post-clearance to ensure complete blockage removal. Available 24/7 across Surrey and surrounding counties, we guarantee rapid response times with most jobs completed within 30 minutes. Our technicians identify underlying issues that may cause recurring blockages, providing no-obligation quotes for permanent solutions.
Septic tank emptying
We provide comprehensive septic tank emptying services using purpose-built tankers. Our engineers assess tank condition during emptying and advise on maintenance requirements. Covering Berkshire and five-county areas, we handle both domestic and commercial properties. Regular emptying prevents system failures and environmental contamination. Emergency call-outs ensure uninterrupted service for critical operations like care homes and commercial premises.
CCTV drain surveys
Our CCTV drain surveys use high-resolution cameras to diagnose underground drainage issues. The service identifies root intrusion, pipe fractures, and blockage locations with precision. Customers receive detailed reports showing defect locations and recommended repairs. Essential for property purchases and pre-installation assessments, our surveys prevent unnecessary excavations. The technology supports accurate fault finding across 25-mile radius service areas.
Water main installation
We specialise in water main installations using moling equipment for minimal disruption. This trenchless technology allows pipe laying beneath driveways and properties without extensive excavation. Our engineers complete installations within single working days where possible. The service includes leak detection and repair using sonar signal technology. We provide cost-effective solutions for both new connections and replacement projects across Hampshire and surrounding regions.
Emergency drainage
Our 24/7 emergency drainage service addresses urgent blockages and system failures. Engineers carry full toolkits for immediate problem resolution, including gully sucking and high-pressure jetting. The service covers commercial properties requiring uninterrupted drainage operations. Rapid response times ensure minimal business disruption. Emergency call-outs include initial diagnostics to identify permanent repair requirements alongside immediate fixes for critical situations.

Blockage removed!!
Phoned ASL at just after 0800. Less than 3 hours later, they were here, and half an hour after that, gone again, problem sorted. Great service, friendly technician, charged what they said it would be, and I got a squint up the underground pipe to the road thrown in for free as well.
Brilliant.

'Excellent service'
We were so impressed with the quality of service we received today from ASL. Your representative, Darren, was extremely professional and quickly identified the problem and was able to put it right within the hour. We have no hesitation in recommending this company for anyone with drain issues. We are only sorry that we did not come to ASL first.

We have used ASL several times and always received excellent service and they have all the best equipment. Most recently they got Darren to us the same day. He was very professional and extremely helpful, not just analysing our problem but checking the whole system. Highly recommended!

My understanding of the different kinds of drainage that there are, how they should be plumbed in and what can go wrong if not done correctly has helped me immensely due to Gerry of ASL's willingness to share his knowledge and expertise. ASL are top of my list to call for any drainage issues. Thank you!

I thought that DXXXX and his team were absolutely wonderful. They worked hard, were perfect gentlemen and we felt at all times that we were in good hands. The lads got stuck in and came up with solutions to any challenge that came across which as I am sure you know there is always stuff when you start digging things up. For house owner this is always anxious moment and your team were able to put at ease through every stage of the project. I did want to single out DXXXX who carries a very special skill which I think is what makes or breaks many companies. Whenever I had any concerns or question
