Septic tank and cesspool services in Northiam
Northiam sits above the Rother valley on the Kent and Sussex border, surrounded by orchards, farmland and a lot of period property. Outside the village centre, private drainage is the normal arrangement.

It is on our way through to Rye and Winchelsea, which we cover already, so Northiam is easy ground for us rather than a special trip.
Working in Northiam
- The valley floor holds water through the winter, while property up on the ridge drains far better.
- Older timber framed and period houses here often have systems that have been added to over decades rather than designed once.
- We are through regularly on the way to Rye, so fitting in an empty is straightforward.
