If rainwater is pooling on your patio or your lawn stays boggy for days, we can help. We design and install drainage that suits Bexley’s mix of gardens and hard landscaping, from Bexleyheath family plots to tighter terraces near Bexley High Street. Our team tackles waterlogged gardens with practical solutions such as French drains, land drains and surface drainage. We also carry out CCTV surveys to pinpoint blockages and collapsed runs before work begins.
Local homes vary widely across the DA5 postcode, from Victorian terraces to 1930s semis and newer builds. Each property type brings different challenges, such as shallow falls, older clay pipework, or extensions that have changed how water moves around the plot. We plan drainage routes to minimise disruption and protect existing paving, lawns and planting. For larger gardens near Danson Park, we can integrate drainage with landscaping for a natural finish.
We start with a site visit, levels check and (where needed) a CCTV survey to confirm the cause of flooding. You’ll receive a clear proposal covering pipe runs, outlet options and any soakaway sizing, then we schedule the work to suit access and parking. Installations are completed neatly, with proper backfill, compaction and reinstatement of surfaces. Homeowners choose us for dependable workmanship, transparent communication and a 10-year warranty on qualifying installations.
Across the London Borough of Bexley, we often see compact side access, shared driveways and mixed ground conditions that affect soakaway performance. We plan spoil removal, deliveries and parking to keep disruption low, especially around busier streets near Hall Place and central routes. Where older properties have legacy pipework, we connect safely or reroute with modern materials. If you need drainage contractors bexley area homeowners recommend, we tailor the design to your plot’s falls and existing drainage points.

Costs vary with access, depth, and how much excavation is required. As a guide, small surface drainage or channel drain runs often start from around £600–£1,500. French drains and land drains commonly fall between £1,200–£3,500 depending on length and reinstatement. Soakaways can range from £1,500–£5,000+ based on size, crate system, and ground conditions. CCTV surveys are typically £200–£450.
Many straightforward jobs, such as a short channel drain or a small repair, can be completed in 1 day. French drains, land drains or a new soakaway usually take 2–5 days, depending on length, depth and how much paving or turf needs lifting and reinstating. Timescales also change with access (narrow side passages), spoil removal, and whether a CCTV survey reveals additional defects that need correcting.
Most garden drainage works are permitted development and don’t require planning permission, especially where you’re improving drainage within your boundary. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, working near a public highway, or connecting into certain drainage systems. We also consider sustainable drainage expectations for paved areas and driveways. As drainage contractors in London Borough of Bexley, we’ll flag any permissions, check constraints, and advise on compliant discharge options.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying drainage installations, covering workmanship and the correct installation of specified materials (such as pipework, fittings, geotextiles and soakaway crates). The warranty applies when the system is used as designed and not damaged by later building works or tree root intrusion beyond reasonable control. We’ll explain what’s included before starting and keep records of the layout to support future maintenance or inspections.
We offer several proven options, chosen to suit your garden and the cause of flooding. Popular solutions include French drains with clean gravel finishes, perforated land drains for lawns, channel drains for patios and driveways, and soakaway crate systems for higher volumes of runoff. We also install gutter drainage connections to move roof water away from foundations. After a levels check and, if needed, a CCTV survey, we’ll recommend the best layout and discreet finishes.
