Bayswater gardens can suffer after heavy rain, with surface water collecting near patios, steps and lightwells. Our drainage team designs practical systems that move water away safely, protecting planting and paving. We regularly work around Queensway and close to Hyde Park, where access and levels can be tight. If your lawn stays soggy or you’re seeing runoff towards the building, we’ll pinpoint the cause and fix it properly.
Local properties include stucco townhouses, mansion conversions and period flats, often with compact rear gardens and shared boundaries. These layouts can hide old drains, shallow pipe runs and awkward falls that worsen waterlogging. We’re used to working with delicate paving, mature planting and listed-style details, keeping disruption low. For homeowners in the drainage contractors Bayswater area, we tailor solutions to the site rather than forcing a one-size system.
We start with a site visit and, where needed, CCTV surveys to locate blockages, breaks or poor connections. Then we propose a clear plan—French drains, land drains, soakaways, channel drains or gutter drainage—matched to your ground conditions and budget. Work is scheduled to minimise disturbance, with neat reinstatement of lawns and borders. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, clean workmanship and a 10-year warranty on qualifying installations.
Bayswater’s period homes often have limited side access and basement-level thresholds that make drainage detail critical. We plan spoil removal, deliveries and parking with local restrictions in mind, and keep pathways clear for neighbours. Ground conditions can vary between made ground and compacted sub-bases under older paving, so we test falls and infiltration before specifying soakaways. As drainage contractors in City of Westminster, we also consider outfalls, existing rainwater routes and sensible discharge points.

Costs depend on access, depth, and how much reinstatement is needed. As a guide, small fixes such as adding a short channel drain or reconnecting gutter drainage may start around £450–£1,200. A French drain run for a waterlogged garden is often £1,500–£4,000. New soakaways typically range from £2,500–£6,500+, especially where excavation and waste removal are complex in W2.
Many Bayswater drainage jobs take 1–3 days, such as installing channel drains along a patio edge or adding a short French drain. Larger schemes—new soakaways, multiple land drain runs, or reworking gutter drainage—often take 3–7 working days. Timescales vary with access through period properties, depth of excavation, weather, and whether we uncover old brick drains that need repairs. We confirm a programme after the survey.
Most garden drainage improvements are permitted development, particularly like-for-like repairs or adding discreet surface drainage. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, working near a basement, affecting a party wall, or if the property is listed or in a conservation area. We check the practical requirements for your site in the City of Westminster and advise if approvals, build-over agreements, or specific discharge permissions are needed before work starts.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying drainage installations, covering workmanship and installation-related defects for systems we supply and fit (such as French drains, soakaways, land drains and channel drains). The warranty doesn’t cover misuse, third-party alterations, or extreme events beyond design assumptions, but we’ll always help investigate issues promptly. You’ll also receive clear documentation of what was installed and where.
Options include perforated land drain pipe in clean gravel with geotextile wrap, modular soakaway crates, traditional rubble soakaways, and polymer or galvanised channel drains with different grate styles. For patios and thresholds, we can add linear drains and discreet gullies, plus improved gutter drainage connections. We’ll recommend the best design after checking falls, soil infiltration, and available space—important for compact Bayswater gardens and mansion-block courtyards.
