Latimer is a small, quiet village sitting on the Chess Valley floor, about three miles from central Chesham in the HP5 postcode. It's mostly older rural housing stock, period cottages and converted farm buildings, with the Latimer House estate sitting at its centre. Drainage jobs here tend to be what you'd expect from that age of property: blocked soakaways, failed cesspits, cracked clay runs under garden paths, and the occasional shared sewer that nobody's touched in decades.
We come out on the B485 through Chenies or drop down from Chesham via the Chess Valley road, depending on where exactly we're needed. The valley bottom means low-lying ground and drainage that can back up badly after heavy rain. Most pipes out here are old clay, laid when these were agricultural properties, and the tree root ingress is as bad as anywhere we cover. Mature oaks and chestnuts along field boundaries send roots into joints that have been settling and shifting for a hundred years.
Most common Latimer jobs
- Soakaway inspections and replacements on period cottages with no mains sewer connection
- CCTV surveys of clay drain runs under gardens and outbuildings

Latimer FAQ
A lot of properties in Latimer and the surrounding Chess Valley rely on septic tanks, cesspits or soakaways rather than a mains connection. If yours backs up, we'll start by checking whether it needs emptying or whether there's a blockage or structural failure in the run leading to it. From there we can advise on repair, replacement or, if a mains connection is now feasible, what that would involve. Don't leave it, a failing private system can cause real problems fast.
