A Bibury drainage engineer,
on call 24/7 with a clear price before we start.

Bibury sits about six miles from central Cirencester in the GL7 postcode, around a fifteen-minute drive along the B4425. It's a Cotswold stone village with a mix of old cottages, farmhouse conversions and a handful of properties that have been turned into holiday lets or second homes. The drainage work we pick up here tends to be on old stock: blocked field drains around garden boundaries, failing stone-built inspection chambers and slow-draining soakaways that have simply given up after decades of use.

We come in via the B4425 through Barnsley, dropping down into the valley where the Coln runs alongside the village. The River Coln setting is picturesque but it means the ground stays wet for much of the year, and soakaways in lower-lying plots struggle badly in winter. Pipework in the older cottages is almost certainly original clay, with open joints that tree roots find without much effort. Arlington Row and the surrounding historic core come with conservation restrictions that affect how you excavate, so you plan the job carefully before you start.

Most common Bibury jobs

• Clearing root ingress from clay drain runs serving older cottage gardens
• Soakaway assessment and replacement where waterlogged ground has made them unworkable
• CCTV survey of failing stone inspection chambers before any remedial work
• Drain tracing for holiday let owners who've inherited someone else's pipework and don't know where it goes
• Blocked gullies on properties where leaf fall from mature riverside trees builds up fast
