Our Story
Ryan Tottle founded Southern Drainage & Water after spending years mastering the trade as a specialist drainage engineer, learning the details of clay pipework, pitch fibre repairs, and everything in between long before starting the business himself. What began as one engineer clearing blocked drains and running CCTV surveys across the South of England grew steadily into a dedicated drainage company built on getting the job done properly, not just quickly.
Today, Southern Drainage & Water is a team of qualified engineers, but the standard hasn’t changed. Every job still starts with a proper assessment, fixed pricing confirmed before any work begins, and a genuine explanation of what’s actually needed. Ryan remains closely involved in how the business runs day to day, making sure every engineer works to the same standard he built the company on from the very start.
