Local coverage
Gillingham's drainage is older than most — and it's a daily job for us
Gillingham is dense, residential and old enough that its drainage infrastructure is now reaching end-of-life across large parts of ME7 and ME8. Original Victorian salt-glazed runs, post-war concrete drainage, and inter-war shallow PVC all fail in different ways — we see all three every week.
The housing mix is heavy on Edwardian and inter-war terraces, with later estates pushing east through Twydall, Wigmore and Hempstead. Density makes parking tight and access awkward — our team is geared for it.
From our Rochester base we're under 15 minutes from most Gillingham addresses. That means genuinely fast response, day or night, with no farming-out to third parties.

Gillingham's repeat plumbing and drainage problems
Dense housing and ageing infrastructure produces a predictable set of failures we resolve every week.
Cracked, displaced and root-infested. CCTV survey then jetting and patch lining without excavation.
CCTV pinpoints whose end the issue is at — we resolve without neighbour disputes.
Many Gillingham properties have no side access. We work via internal manholes and slim-line equipment.
Pre-war Gillingham still has plenty of original lead supplies — we replace and certify.
