Drainage and groundworks in Farnborough
This is home. We work out of Farnborough and most weeks we are on jobs within a couple of miles of the office, from the Victorian terraces off Alexandra Road to the post-war estates around Cove and Southwood and the newer builds at Farnborough Business Park.
What we know about the drains in Farnborough
Older property in Farnborough is mostly on clay drainage, and the joints in clay are where roots get in. On the streets around Highgate Lane and Prospect Avenue, root ingress is the single most common thing our camera finds.
A lot of Cove and Southwood sits on London Clay, which is why so many soakaways in this area were undersized and now fail every wet autumn. It is also why we always dig a trial pit and test before sizing a new one here rather than working off a standard detail.
Post-war estate properties around Farnborough often have shared drainage running across several gardens. That changes who pays: since the 2011 transfer a lot of those shared runs are now the water company's responsibility, not yours, and we would rather tell you that than invoice you for it.
Rushmoor Borough Council handles planning, but the highway authority for dropped kerbs and vehicle crossings in Farnborough is Hampshire County Council. Two different applications, and people regularly start with the wrong one.
