Gordon Hatton

We offer the full spectrum of drainage services, from location, to drain surveys, to repairs, maintenance, clearance and new drain systems. We are also specialists in sewage treatment, septic tank installation and rain water harvesting. Gordon Hatton and Co are a family run business who have been undertaking drainage work across the Wirral and Chester area since 1965. They have built up an enviable reputation for honesty, quality of service and excellent results. Most people don't think about their drains very much until something starts to go wrong, such as a flooded garden, or an unpleasant smell coming from a drain.

Living near the shore or beneath a lot of trees means that you're going to get leaves or sand blocking your roof water gullies as well as drains on your driveway or parking area. Cleaning these out can be hard work, especially on larger properties or flats. We will clear debris from the drains and flow test everything we can. If we have any concerns we'll discuss these with you. This is usually done every one or 2 years.

Blocked drains are rarely fun! It might be a blocked toilet or overflowing kitchen drain, you might even have sewage flooding around the property! We invest heavily in our specialist high pressure water jetting equipment to ensure we have the right gear for the job. With water moving at up to 500mph we can remove grease, wipes, sanitary wares, roots or even concrete. When things get really serious we have mechanical root cutters driven by hydraulic pressure that are capable of chewing through really thick and stubborn root blockages.

Is your garden too wet to use for most of the year? Are your borders and lawns flooded or suffering with waterlogged ground? Much of the local area is on a heavy clay base which means you're not alone in your suffering. We have been installing land drains since the company began so we know how to drain your garden. A common mistake we've see is actually overdoing it and draining a lawn so much that it turns brown in the summer! We'll visit and see what you want to achieve and put together a proposal that will meet your expectations.

You might be a house buyer needing a home buyers drain survey to check what you can't see of your new purchase or you might have experienced blockages, structural movement or damp. We have CCTV drain survey equipment that we can inspect accessible parts of the drainage system to map the drain layout and location and find any hidden faults. Your drain report will contain a drainage layout map and full details on the drainage construction along with any faults found. The report will satisfy most insurance companies and mortgage companies.
