Kendal's gradients mean surface water arrives quickly and in volume, so interception and capacity matter more than pipe size alone.
Local focus
Working in and around Kendal
Water off the hillside
Cut-off and interceptor drains above properties stop hillside water reaching buildings and yards in the first place.
Limestone and infiltration
Infiltration behaviour on limestone ground is variable, so soakaway viability is tested rather than assumed.
Steep falls
Excessive fall causes solids to be left behind. Backdrops and correctly graded runs keep steep systems working.
Kendal — common questions
Yes. Retaining structures are a routine part of work on sloping sites, normally with structural engineering input where height or loading requires it, and can be faced in local stone.
