Thames Ditton's drains, as we know them
Thames Ditton is the riverside village in KT7 facing Hampton Court, a Georgian and Victorian High Street, cottages along the water, Thames Ditton Island, and 1930s and post-war streets spreading towards Hinchley Wood and Weston Green. The river is the drain nerd’s headline: it keeps the water table high, it keeps the ground around old clay pipes damp all year, and once a winter it lifts enough silt into the joints to close a run that behaved all summer.
Village-centre calls are mostly that. A gully off the High Street that has been fine since March backs up in the first wet November week, and the camera finds a joint with a lip and a little fan of silt behind it. Clearing is quick; lining the joint is what stops next year’s repeat.
The island and the riverside plots are their own adventure. Access is on foot, the runs are long, and the fix has to be done from the chamber because nobody is digging a riverside garden. We bring the long-reach kit, we reline rather than excavate, and we have been known to arrive by the footbridge with a camera reel on a sack truck. We cover Thames Ditton, Long Ditton and Weston Green at any hour.
