Working in Cannock

Cannock grew as a mining town, so much of its housing is inter-war and post-war semis and short terraces, with newer estates at Heath Hayes, Norton Canes and Huntington and plenty of commercial units along the A5 and the M6 Toll corridor.

Many Cannock estates have clay pipework now fifty to ninety years old, where cracked joints and root ingress cause recurring blockages.

For Cannock (WS11 and WS12), planning applications are handled by Cannock Chase District Council, and highways matters such as scaffold licences, skips on the road and dropped kerbs by Staffordshire County Council. Our yard at Kimberley Business Park is a straightforward run across Cannock Chase on the A460.

How we work

We like to see a drain before we dig it up. A CCTV survey shows the line, depth and condition of the pipe, so we can recommend a targeted repair or a new run rather than guessing.

New drainage is laid to proper falls on a granular bed, with accessible chambers at changes of direction and connections that building control and the sewerage undertaker will accept. Sewer connections in this area are usually made to Severn Trent's network, and we handle the application.

Drainage in Cannock: common questions

Are there local ground or drainage considerations in Cannock?

Cannock's mining history means old workings can be a consideration on some plots, so checking the Coal Authority records before designing foundations is sensible. We check the site and any available records before we price the work.

Do you fit land drains?

Yes, including perforated land drains behind retaining walls and in waterlogged lawns.

How do I know where my drains run?

A CCTV survey with tracing shows the line, depth and condition of the pipes. We can mark them out on site before any digging starts.

Can you stop water pooling on my drive or patio?

Usually, yes. ACO channels, gullies or a soakaway can be added to an existing surface, or built in when it is relaid.

Which areas near Cannock do you cover?

We cover Cannock and nearby places including Heath Hayes, Norton Canes, Huntington, Chadsmoor and Bridgtown, plus the wider Staffordshire and West Midlands area.
