New Drains & Drainage Services in Fordingbridge
Fordingbridge is a quiet Hampshire market town on the River Avon, at the northern edge of the New Forest. The town has a mix of Georgian and Victorian buildings in its historic core, post-war semis and bungalows across the wider town, and rural properties on the surrounding farmland and common. We cover Fordingbridge and the northern Avon Valley villages from our nearby depot in St Leonards, and we are well used to the mix of town centre, suburban, and rural driveway and patio projects that the area generates.
A surface is only as good as what lies beneath. We provide comprehensive drainage solutions including SUDS-compliant soakaways, linear channel drains, ACO drains, and complete foul drainage connections. Since 2008, all new impermeable driveways over 5 square metres require planning permission unless adequate drainage is provided. Our team designs and installs compliant systems that satisfy local planning requirements while protecting your property from surface water flooding. We also install new foul drainage runs, inspection chambers, and connections to public sewers.
New Drains & Drainage in Fordingbridge — Local Detail
Fordingbridge's position in the Avon Valley means flood risk is a genuine consideration on some sites. We carry out careful soil percolation testing and take account of Environment Agency flood zone maps on every Fordingbridge site survey. We design drainage to ensure surface water is managed safely and does not increase risk to neighbouring land.
Planning & Drainage in Fordingbridge
Fordingbridge sits on the River Avon floodplain, and some properties in and around the town are in flood risk areas. We take flood risk seriously in Fordingbridge — all drainage design is carried out to manage surface water within the property boundary, and we take great care to avoid any drainage solution that could increase flood risk for neighbouring properties or the river corridor. Hampshire County Council's Lead Local Flood Authority reviews highway drainage on any works affecting the public highway.
