Drainage in Annesley — what local engineers know
Severn Trent Water supplies Annesley across postcodes NG15 through NG18 within Gedling council's area. The area's separate sewer system—where surface water drains independently from foul drainage—means toilets in period properties can show wear differently than modern installations. With a significant share of homes built before 1920 featuring salt-glazed clay soil pipes and older copper pipework, cast-iron toilet pan connections often develop joint failures or cracks. Hard water from Severn Trent Water supply also accelerates cistern cartridge wear. The flood risk is classified as Low, but the age of drainage infrastructure means blockages from wipes and grease still require regular attention.
- Hard water supply causes limescale accumulation in boilers, radiators and soil pipe joints — powerflush and descaling demand is high across Annesley
- Separate sewer system across most of Annesley: misconnections (e.g. washing machines plumbed into surface water drains) are a known local issue and can result in environmental enforcement action
- Ageing infrastructure in parts of Annesley means drain blockages from grease, wipes and root ingress remain the most common call-out reasons
- With a significant share of properties built before 1920, salt-glazed clay drainage and lead-solder copper pipework are common — pipe collapse, root ingress and joint failure are recurring call-out drivers.
- Annesley has Environment Agency flood warning areas nearby along the River Trent corridor — basement and ground-floor properties can face sewer backflow during heavy rain; non-return valves are strongly recommended.

Who's responsible for drains in Annesley?
In Annesley, responsibility for a blocked or damaged drain depends on where the fault sits. As a homeowner you are responsible for the drains within your property boundary that serve only your home. Since the 2011 private sewer transfer, Severn Trent Water is responsible for shared sewers and lateral drains beyond your boundary — even where they run under private land. Road gullies and highway drainage are maintained by Gedling.
This matters because it determines who pays. If our engineer's CCTV inspection shows the fault is in a shared sewer, we'll tell you — and you can report it to Severn Trent Water rather than paying for the repair yourself. The separate sewer layout that dominates Annesley affects where these boundaries typically fall, and our local engineers know the NG15, NG16, NG17 networks well enough to identify ownership quickly.
