Local Knowledge
Drainage In Retford: What We Know
Storm Babet flooded 123 homes and 4 businesses in Retford in October 2023, and the River Idle at Ordsall reached a record 1.79 m, according to Nottinghamshire County Council.
Retford Beck can back up at its culvert in heavy rain, as the county council's 2019 flood investigation recorded.
Retford is the only Nottinghamshire town we cover where the water and sewerage companies differ: Anglian Water supplies the water, but Bassetlaw District Council notes that Severn Trent runs sewerage for the whole district.
Who Is Responsible For Drains In Retford?
Severn Trent Water owns the public sewers in Retford, plus any drain you share with neighbours or that runs beyond your boundary. Report a problem with those on 0800 783 4444 (24 hours) or online. Your drinking water comes from Anglian Water, which is a different company.
Drains that serve only your property and sit inside your boundary are your responsibility — that's the work we do. Road gullies are Nottinghamshire County Council's (0300 500 8080). If you rent, your landlord is normally responsible for the drains.

Still Have Questions About Your Drains?
Our engineers are happy to talk you through the problem, the likely fix and the price before you book, with no obligation.
For drains and sewers, Retford is Severn Trent Water. Severn Trent looks after the public sewers and any drain you share with neighbours or that runs beyond your boundary — report problems with those on 0800 783 4444 (24 hours). Your drinking water comes from Anglian Water, though, so the company on your bill may not be the one that owns the sewer. Drains that serve only your property and sit inside your boundary are your responsibility — and that's the work we do.
Road gullies belong to the highway authority, which in Retford is Nottinghamshire County Council. Report a blocked or flooding road drain on the council's website or on 0300 500 8080. Gullies, channels and manholes inside your own boundary are private, and we can clear those for you.
No. There's no call-out fee in Retford or anywhere else we cover. Retford is roughly 35 minutes' drive from Southwell, and our prices are the same as in Nottingham — quoted plus VAT and agreed before we start.
