Local knowledge

Private drainage around Thirsk

Outside the town, most farmhouses, cottages and barn conversions in the Vale of Mowbray and up towards the Hambleton Hills aren't on mains drainage. Older systems that drain into becks such as Cod Beck and field ditches are common, and those need bringing up to the current rules.

We cover Sowerby, Carlton Miniott, Topcliffe, Dalton, Sandhutton and the Hambleton foothills and the countryside around them. Every job starts with an assessment of the whole system and, where needed, a percolation test.

My Thirsk property drains into Cod Beck or a field ditch. What now?

If it's a septic tank discharging straight to a watercourse, it doesn't meet the general binding rules. The guidance says to act as soon as possible: a treatment plant, a new drainage field, or a sewer connection where one is available.
