Drainage in Cotswold stone properties
Many homes in and around Chipping Norton are built from Cotswold stone and date back well over a century. Drains serving these properties were often added or altered over many years, so it is common to find a mix of old clay, pitch fibre and newer plastic pipe on the same run. Records are rarely complete, which makes a CCTV survey particularly useful before any work.
Where properties are listed or within the conservation area, avoiding unnecessary excavation is important. No-dig repairs help protect historic surfaces such as stone paving and cobbles.
Rural drainage and septic systems
Outside the town, many properties in villages such as Over Norton, Salford, Kingham, Churchill, Enstone and the Rollright area are not connected to mains sewers. Drains running to septic tanks or treatment plants can block, suffer root damage or become damaged by farm vehicles and tree growth. We can clear and survey these runs and advise on repairs.
Long private drain runs
Rural plots often have long runs from house to tank, with more pipe to go wrong.
Field and surface water drains
Hillside sites can suffer from surface water problems after heavy rain.
Town centre and commercial premises
Pubs, cafés, shops and restaurants around the High Street and Market Place rely on drains that cope with busy days and plenty of visitors. Fat and grease from commercial kitchens is a common cause of blockages. Quick local response helps keep businesses trading.
