Uttoxeter is a historic market town in Staffordshire with a mix of period properties in the town centre and modern housing developments on the outskirts. The town sits near the confluence of several small watercourses feeding into the River Dove, and the local geology includes clay-heavy soils that can affect drainage performance.
Properties around the High Street and Market Place often have older stone and clay drainage systems dating back to the Georgian and Victorian periods. These require specialist knowledge to maintain and repair without causing damage to the historic fabric. Newer estates on the edges of town, particularly around Bramshall Road and towards the racecourse, have modern drainage systems but can still experience issues with ground settlement in the clay soils.
The rural setting means that some properties rely on private drainage systems including septic tanks and soakaways, which require regular maintenance to function correctly.
A homeowner near Uttoxeter Racecourse contacted us after noticing standing water in their garden following heavy rain. Our investigation revealed that the property's soakaway had failed due to the heavy clay soil becoming compacted over time. We installed a new soakaway system with improved drainage channels, resolving the waterlogging issue and preventing potential damage to the property's foundations.
