Drainage in Folkestone and Hythe.

The geological split between Folkestone's chalk-underlain hillside and the reclaimed peat and clay of the Romney Marsh edge defines every drainage survey we carry out across CT18 to CT21. On the cliff-town streets of Folkestone, vitrified clay pipes laid in the 1890s and early 1900s remain the dominant substrate, subject to root intrusion from mature street trees and joint separation caused by decades of coastal-frost cycling. Down at the Marsh fringe – particularly in properties outside Hythe and approaching New Romney – private drainage runs are common, and some have no drawings or previous survey records at all.

Every job opens with a CCTV drain survey: the camera goes in first so we know precisely what we are dealing with before a single rod or jet touches the pipe. High-pressure water jetting clears grease, silt and encrusted scale; where the pipe wall is structurally sound, no-dig CIPP relining restores it to full bore without disturbing ground or surfaces. Coastal flood-zone designation on south-end properties means any drainage backflow risk is documented in the written survey report, which carries the detail insurers and conveyancers need. There is no callout fee; fixed pricing follows the survey. See /pricing.
