About Drainage Engineers

A drainage engineer diagnoses and fixes problems with drains, sewers and underground pipework - from blocked sinks and backed-up toilets to collapsed drains, root intrusion and CCTV surveys.

Drainage problems tend to be urgent. A local drainage engineer who can respond quickly, diagnose the issue with a camera survey and clear or repair the blockage saves you from escalating damage.

Ask whether they carry out CCTV drain surveys, whether jetting is included in the callout price and whether they can handle both domestic and commercial drainage work.

About Ness

Ness is the most northerly community in the Outer Hebrides, a string of townships at the tip of Lewis stretching to the Butt of Lewis lighthouse.

The community has a strong tradition of guga hunting - the annual harvest of young gannets from Sula Sgeir - that is one of the last such practices in western Europe.

Properties include traditional croft houses, some converted blackhouses and modern family homes built to withstand the extreme northerly weather.

Ness has a primary school, a harbour at Port of Ness and a strong Gaelic-speaking community with deep cultural roots.

Na h-Eileanan Siar is the council area covering the Outer Hebrides, a chain of islands stretching 130 miles from the Butt of Lewis in the north to Barra and Vatersay in the south off Scotland's north-west coast.

Stornoway on Lewis is the only town of any size and serves as the administrative, commercial and transport hub for the islands. The rest of the population is spread across crofting townships and small villages on Lewis, Harris, North Uist, Benbecula, South Uist and Barra - communities connected by causeways, single-track roads and inter-island ferries.

The islands are the heartland of Scottish Gaelic language and culture. Gaelic is spoken as an everyday language here to a degree found nowhere else in Scotland and the traditions of crofting, weaving, fishing and storytelling remain central to island life. Harris Tweed - handwoven in the homes of islanders from locally dyed wool - is a globally recognised fabric and a vital part of the local economy.

The landscape is extraordinary: white shell-sand beaches on the Atlantic coast, ancient standing stones at Callanish, the mountainous terrain of Harris, the flat machair grasslands of the Uists and some of the darkest skies in Europe. Wildlife - sea eagles, otters, seals and vast seabird colonies - draws naturalists from around the world.

CalMac ferries connect the islands to the mainland from Ullapool, Uig on Skye and Oban, while Loganair flights serve Stornoway, Benbecula and Barra - where the beach at Traigh Mhor famously serves as the runway. Despite the remoteness, the islands have a strong and self-reliant community life shaped by faith, Gaelic culture and the rhythms of the sea.
