Signs your garden needs drainage
- Puddles that sit for days after rain
- A lawn that is spongy, boggy or covered in moss
- Water running towards the house or pooling against walls
- A patio or driveway that floods in heavy rain
Solutions we install
Land drains
Perforated pipe in a gravel-filled trench that collects groundwater and carries it away.
Soakaways
Crates or chambers that store water and let it disperse into the ground.
Channel drains
Linear drains across driveways and patios that catch surface water.
Regrading
Reshaping the ground so water falls away from buildings.
The right answer depends on your soil, levels and where the water can go. Heavy clay soil common in parts of East Sussex and Kent drains slowly, so a soakaway is not always suitable. We look at the site first and explain the options.
Drainage that connects to a public sewer or discharges off your property can need approval. We tell you what applies before we start.
