Drainage Services in Kidlington

Kidlington sits on river gravels between the River Cherwell and the Oxford Canal, with low-lying ground towards the river where the water table can rise in wet weather. Older properties around the village centre and Church Street have clay drainage that can suffer from groundwater infiltration and root ingress from mature gardens.

Most of Kidlington's housing dates from its rapid postwar growth, so concrete and transitional pipework is common, with newer developments around Gosford and Begbroke using plastic systems with separate surface water drainage. Canal-side hamlets such as Thrupp include a few properties served by private drainage.

We start with a CCTV survey on every Kidlington job to identify pipe condition and any infiltration points. High-pressure jetting clears blockages and silt, no-dig lining repairs cracked or displaced pipework without disturbing driveways and gardens, and percolation testing is available for private systems on the edge of the village.
