Local knowledge

Private drainage around Kirkbymoorside

North of the town, villages in Farndale and around Hutton-le-Hole sit inside the North York Moors National Park, with stone cottages and farmhouses that rely on septic tanks. Many systems are old and some drain to becks such as Hodge Beck or the River Dove.

We cover Gillamoor, Hutton-le-Hole, Nawton, Fadmoor, Keldholme and Appleton-le-Moors and the countryside around them. Every job starts with an assessment of the whole system and, where needed, a percolation test.
