Drainage and groundworks in Aldershot
Ten minutes down the road, and a town with drainage as old as its garrison. We work across Aldershot, North Town, Cargate and out towards Ash and Tongham most weeks.
What we know about the drains in Aldershot
Aldershot's Victorian garrison housing has some of the oldest drainage we see, including pitch fibre runs put in as repairs in the 1960s and 70s. Pitch fibre deforms and collapses with age, and it cannot be lined once it has lost its shape. If your property is that era, a camera survey before you buy is money well spent.
Much of central Aldershot has shared drainage between terraced properties. Working out where your responsibility ends and your neighbour's or the water company's begins is half the job, and we do that before quoting rather than after.
The ground around Aldershot varies sharply from sand to clay within a short distance, which matters for soakaways and for driveway sub-bases. We test rather than assume.
Hampshire County Council is the highway authority here, so dropped kerbs follow the Hampshire process: £211.90 for a standard application, or £308.90 for the two week fast track, and your contractor needs a Section 171 licence and £10m public liability cover before touching the footway.
