Drainage in Ashford

Ashford's property stock splits cleanly into two drainage worlds. In the Victorian railway terraces of central Ashford – many dating from the 1880s expansion of the railway works – original clay-pipe runs are now well over a century old, susceptible to root ingress, joint displacement, and fatigue cracking that a standard rod will not fix. On the HS1 commuter estates built since the late 1990s in TN23 and TN24, PVCu systems are younger but often undersized for the kitchen-extension modifications many owners have added without upgrading the 100mm lateral.

Further out, rural properties around TN25, TN26 and TN27 – particularly south of Charing and across the Romney Marsh edge – rely on private soakaways and septic infrastructure that requires separate regulatory consideration before any remediation work begins.

Our survey process starts with a full CCTV camera inspection, giving us a precise defect log rather than a guess. Where blockages are present we apply high-pressure water jetting first. Structural defects are then addressed either through no-dig CIPP lining – which restores the pipe bore without breaking ground – or targeted excavation where collapse is too severe for lining. There is no callout fee; pricing is fixed after the CCTV report. See /pricing for further detail.
