FAQs
Water Main Repair in Sevenoaks: FAQs
Do you provide water main repair across all of Sevenoaks?
Yes, we cover the TN13 postcode area in full, including Riverhead, Dunton Green, Weald, Bat & Ball, Kippington.
How do I know if the problem is my water main or something inside the house?
We start by testing pressure at different points and checking internal valves and fittings. If nothing internal explains it, we investigate the supply pipe itself, including checking for signs of a leak along its route.
Who is responsible for the pipe between the street and my house?
The section from the water authority's main up to your property boundary (the communication pipe) is generally the water authority's responsibility; from the boundary into the property (the supply pipe) is the homeowner's responsibility.
Does Green Belt designation affect extending a house in Sevenoaks?
Green Belt policy applies primarily to new buildings and significant additions that would be disproportionate to the original dwelling, rather than ruling out modest extensions. We assess this against your specific property and its planning history.
