Your Local Drainage Team in Cofton Hackett
Cofton Hackett is where our story began — our Birmingham office is right here on Skylark Street. This village on the south-western edge of Birmingham sits between the Lickey Hills and the Cofton Reservoir, with a mix of period properties and modern developments. The clay-heavy soil that defines the area is one of the biggest enemies of older drainage systems, and with mature gardens on almost every street, tree root ingress is something we deal with weekly in this postcode. Whether you live in the village core or on the rural edges towards Barnt Green, we know every road, every soil pocket, and every common drainage fault in B45.
