Tutbury is a picturesque village in Staffordshire perched on a hill overlooking the Dove Valley. The village's elevated position and historic character create unique drainage considerations. Properties around the castle, High Street, and Monk Street are among the oldest in the area, with drainage systems that may date back centuries.
The village's hillside location means that drainage gradients are generally good, but the older properties often have narrow, winding drainage runs that follow the medieval street layout. The underlying geology includes sandstone and clay, and the variable ground conditions can affect pipe stability.
Lower-lying properties near the River Dove and Dove Bridge can experience drainage challenges during periods of high river levels. The surrounding villages of Fauld, Hanbury, Hatton, and Scropton include a mix of rural properties, some with private drainage systems.
A homeowner in a Grade II listed cottage on Monk Street contacted us about persistent damp in their cellar. Our CCTV survey revealed that the property's original stone drain had partially collapsed beneath the cellar floor, allowing waste water to seep into the foundations. Working carefully within the constraints of the listed building, we installed a new drainage connection using directional drilling to bypass the collapsed section, resolving the damp problem without disturbing the cottage's historic fabric.
