Plumbing in Kelsall

Kelsall is a Cheshire village about eight miles east of Chester. Tarporley is around four miles to the south-east. The village lies on Kelsall Hill, part of the Mid-Cheshire Ridge. That ridge is a broken line of sandstone hills. Because the village sits on a ridge, we plan each job around the slope.

The ground here is varied. Sandstone sits under the higher parts, while the lower land to the west is largely covered by glacial till. A narrow strip of alluvium follows Salter's Brook. Because of this, water behaves differently from one street to the next. Higher homes shed water quickly. Lower plots can stay damp for longer.

Slopes affect drains too. For example, a run on a steep garden can carry debris fast but can also move under heavy rain. On flatter ground, the flow is gentler and silt can build up. In both cases, a camera survey shows the real position.

The village has two churches and a pub at its centre. Homes include hillside houses and detached family homes. We cannot say how old each pipe is without looking, so we check every property on its own merits.

We cover Kelsall, Willington, Ashton Hayes and nearby villages. First we find the cause. Then we agree a fixed price before work starts. Since the ground changes from street to street, we survey before we quote.
