FAQs
Drainage in Maidstone: FAQs
Do you provide drainage across all of Maidstone?
Yes, we cover the ME14 and ME15 and ME16 postcode areas in full, including Allington, Barming, Loose, Penenden Heath, Tovil, Weavering, Bearsted.
How do I know if I need a CCTV drain survey?
Recurring blockages, slow-draining fixtures across the property, or unexplained damp near ground level are common signs. A CCTV survey identifies the exact cause and location before any excavation is planned.
Who is responsible for a blocked shared drain?
Shared drains serving more than one property are usually the responsibility of the water company, while private drains serving a single property are the owner's responsibility. We can advise on which applies once the drain run is surveyed.
Does flood risk from the River Medway affect extensions in Maidstone?
For properties in flood risk areas, extension design may need to take flood resilience into account, and a flood risk assessment can be required as part of a planning application. We check the Environment Agency flood mapping for your property during feasibility.
