West Kent has a distinctive geology - heavy clay soils across the Low Weald, chalk on the North Downs, river alluvium in the Medway Valley. Clay expands when wet and contracts in dry conditions, placing drainage pipes under constant stress. Combined with the area’s mature tree cover and Victorian and Edwardian housing stock with original clay pipework, persistent drainage problems are a fact of life across Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks, and Maidstone.
Tom is based in TN12, knows the area, and understands these drainage conditions from years of local work. That local knowledge means faster diagnosis, appropriate solutions, and less wasted time.
