Ashford's drains, as we know them
Ashford is thirties semi country, street after street of them off Church Road and Clockhouse Lane, and those houses sit on the heavy clay subsoil this corner of Surrey is famous for. Clay swells in wet winters and shrinks in dry summers, and the ground quietly flexes the drains with it. Year after year that movement works the joints of the original clay pipes loose, which is why Ashford gives us more displaced joints and slow-building blockages than almost anywhere on our patch.
The other local signature is the garden. Ashford’s plots are generous by London standards, and seventy years of hedges, fruit trees and leylandii have had exactly the same idea as every root system before them: there’s water in that pipe. Root ingress into back-garden drain runs, often unnoticed until the gully overflows, is a weekly Ashford job for us.
The happy news is that both problems are very fixable, usually without turning your lawn into a trench. A camera survey finds the exact joint, jetting clears the roots, and a patch line seals the entry point. TW15 is covered 24/7, we know the roads (and the roots), and we answer when you call.
