Firle

From orchards to homes

Firle was laid out in 1881, and its first large blocks grew market gardens, orchards, grain and hay. Houses followed as trams and buses reached the area in the early 1900s, and post-war migrant settlement brought many more people. Today it sits beside Glynde in the City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters. In 2021, 65.3% of homes were separate houses and 34.8% semi-detached or townhouses, and 36.8% were rented.

That history leaves Firle with drains of several ages: earthenware under the early 1900s houses, earthenware or early plastic under the postwar ones, and newer plastic under recent semis. Established gardens and trees put roots into the old joints. Rentals are common, so we keep approvals simple for landlords and property managers. We clear, inspect and repair Firle drains of every era.

  • Landlords: when you book, give us the owner or property manager who approves the work and the tenant's contact for access.
  • If the outside overflow gully bubbles when the neighbour runs a bath, your semi probably shares a line. Mention that when you book.
  • Keep fat out of the kitchen sink. In an older earthenware line it cools, sets and catches on the joints.
