If your lawn is squelchy, patio puddles linger, or water runs towards the house, we can help. We provide French drains, soakaways, channel drains and surface drainage tailored to Biggin Hill’s semi-rural plots. Homeowners near Biggin Hill Airport and the RAF Memorial often call us after heavy downpours expose weak drainage routes. We work across TN16, including Aperfield and Berry's Green.
Biggin Hill has a mix of large detached houses, bungalows and period properties, many with long drives, sloping gardens and outbuildings. These layouts can hide blocked land drains, failed soakaways or poor falls that push water back towards foundations. We’re used to working around mature planting, retaining walls and existing hardscapes without unnecessary disruption. For properties in Cudham and surrounding lanes, we plan access and materials delivery carefully.
We start with a site assessment to identify where water is coming from and where it should go. When needed, we carry out CCTV surveys to confirm pipe condition, root ingress or collapsed sections before recommending repairs. Every installation is built to correct gradients, with clean stone, geotextiles and proper outlets to reduce silting. Our work is tidy, documented, and backed by a clear 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
As drainage contractors in London Borough of Bromley, we factor in Biggin Hill’s varied levels, heavier ground in places and sudden run-off from hardstanding. We plan routes that avoid services, trees and boundary constraints common on larger plots. Parking and access can be tight near schools, churches and recreation areas, so we schedule deliveries and spoil removal to keep things smooth. We also advise on compliant discharge options and sustainable drainage where appropriate.

Costs vary with access, ground conditions and how much water needs managing. As a guide, small drainage improvements or localised channel drains often start from £600–£1,500. French drains for a typical garden run commonly £1,800–£4,500 depending on length and depth. Soakaways are often £1,500–£3,500, while CCTV surveys usually range from £250–£600.
Most domestic jobs take 1–3 days, such as installing a short French drain, channel drains or fixing a failed outlet. Larger schemes—new soakaways, multiple land drains, or extensive surface drainage across a big plot—can take 3–7 days. Timescales depend on excavation depth, spoil removal, weather, and whether we uncover hidden issues like collapsed pipes or root intrusion confirmed by CCTV.
Most garden drainage works are permitted development, especially like-for-like repairs, French drains, land drains and soakaways within your boundary. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, working near a listed building, or discharging water into a public sewer or watercourse. We’ll check practical constraints and advise on any permissions, consents or build-over considerations before starting work.
Yes. Our drainage installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and the integrity of the installed system (such as correct gradients, joints and fittings). It’s designed to give homeowners confidence that the solution will keep performing as intended. The warranty doesn’t cover damage caused by third-party works, severe ground movement, or blockages from misuse, but we’ll always advise on maintenance to prevent issues.
We design drainage to suit your layout and finish preferences. Popular options include French drains with clean angular stone and geotextile wrap, crate or rubble soakaways sized to roof and patio runoff, and channel drains with discreet grates for driveways and thresholds. For surface water, we can regrade areas and add gullies or gutter drainage connections. We’ll recommend the best combination after assessing falls, soil and discharge routes.
