If your lawn stays soggy, patios puddle, or water runs towards the house, our team can help. We design and install surface drainage, land drains and gutter drainage to control flow and protect foundations. Homeowners near Addiscombe tram stop and Ashburton Park often call us after heavy rainfall exposes low spots and blocked runs. We work across CR0 and nearby East Croydon with tidy, practical solutions.
Addiscombe’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis can hide ageing clay pipes, shallow falls and awkward side access. Rear gardens can be long and narrow, which affects where a soakaway or French drain can go. We tailor layouts to suit existing patios, extensions and outbuildings, keeping disruption to a minimum. If you’re in Shirley, Woodside or closer to Croydon, we’ll match the drainage approach to the property’s footprint and levels.
We start with a site assessment, then confirm the cause—often using CCTV surveys to pinpoint collapsed sections, root ingress or silted lines. Next, we propose a clear plan: falls, pipe sizes, discharge points and how we’ll reinstate paving or turf. You’ll get straightforward options and a written scope before work begins. Local homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for reliable scheduling, clean workmanship and results that last.
As drainage contractors in London Borough of Croydon, we’re used to varied ground conditions and gardens that fall back towards the house. Parking and access can be limited on residential streets, so we plan deliveries, spoil removal and machinery carefully. We also consider nearby trees and roots when specifying pipework and geotextiles. Our solutions suit CR0 properties and the practical realities of working around occupied homes.

Costs depend on the cause and how much excavation is needed. As a guide, CCTV surveys often start around £150–£350. Small surface drainage or channel drain sections may be £500–£1,500, while French drains and land drains commonly range from £1,500–£4,000. New soakaways can be £1,800–£5,500+. We’ll survey first and provide options to fit your budget.
Many jobs in the Addiscombe area take 1–3 days, such as installing a short run of channel drain or a basic French drain. Larger schemes—new soakaways, multiple land drain runs, or rerouting gutter drainage—often take 3–7 days. Timescales depend on access, depth, ground conditions, reinstatement (turf, paving), and whether CCTV findings reveal repairs to existing pipework.
Most garden drainage improvements are permitted development, especially where you’re managing surface water on your own land using soakaways or permeable solutions. However, rules can change if you’re altering a driveway, discharging to a public sewer, working near boundaries, or the property is listed or in a conservation area. We’ll advise on the safest approach and check any Croydon requirements before starting.
Yes. Our drainage installations come with a 10-year warranty on workmanship, covering issues such as failed joints, incorrect falls, or installation-related blockages. Materials are also covered by manufacturer guarantees where applicable. The warranty doesn’t cover misuse, third-party damage, or problems caused by major ground movement outside our control. We’ll explain what’s included in writing and how to maintain the system.
We offer several proven options depending on levels and soil: perforated land drain pipe with clean gravel and geotextile wrap, French drains for lawn edges, polypropylene channel drains for patios/driveways, and crate or rubble soakaways sized to roof area. For gutter drainage, we can add new underground runs and rodding access. We’ll recommend the best combination after assessing flow paths and CCTV results.
