Hampton Wick's drains, as we know them
Hampton Wick is the village on the Middlesex bank at the foot of Kingston Bridge, a KT1 postcode on the TW side of the river. Cottages, riverside terraces and the bigger houses along the park edge all drain through clay runs laid in the Victorian build-out, and all of it sits a few feet above a river that has opinions about the water table.
That shows up in two ways. In dry weather, Hampton Wick drains behave. In a wet week the ground is saturated, the riverside sewer is working hard, and any run that is already half silted gives up. A gully that overflows only in a storm is the classic local call, and the honest answer is sometimes that the private run is fine and the public sewer is surcharging, which is Thames Water’s problem and costs you nothing. We will tell you which.
The other local theme is boundaries. Village plots are small and the old runs cross them freely, so most Hampton Wick blockages involve two households and a question about whose pipe it is. We plot the lateral drain line onto the camera footage so that question gets a factual answer. We cover Hampton Wick day and night from Teddington and Kingston.
