Canary Wharf’s hard landscaping, podium gardens and waterfront walkways can push rainwater to the wrong places fast. If you’re seeing pooling near entrances, damp patches by planters, or overflowing gullies around One Canada Square, our team can help. We install surface drainage, land drains and gutter drainage to move water away safely. For tricky blockages, we use CCTV surveys to pinpoint the issue before any digging.
Many clients in E14 live in modern high-rise apartments, waterfront developments and penthouses with terraces, balconies or communal courtyards. These spaces often rely on concealed outlets, channel drains and shared downpipes, so a small failure can cause big disruption. We’re used to working around building management requirements, restricted access and sensitive finishes. If you’re in Isle of Dogs, Poplar or Limehouse, we tailor drainage to your layout and usage.
We start with a site visit and, where needed, a CCTV survey to confirm levels, routes and the cause of waterlogging. You’ll receive a clear recommendation—French drain, soakaway, land drain or channel system—matched to the problem, not a one-size approach. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty, and we keep the site tidy with careful protection and reinstatement. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, dependable scheduling and results that last.
As drainage contractors in London Borough of Tower Hamlets, we plan for high runoff from paving, podium structures and tight service corridors. Around Crossrail Place and Jubilee Park, access and parking can be limited, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also account for shared drainage stacks and building management rules common in E14 developments. The result is a practical system that works without disrupting neighbours or finishes.

Costs vary by access, depth, and whether you need a CCTV survey first. As a guide, CCTV surveys often start around £180–£350. Small surface drainage or channel drain repairs may be £450–£1,200. New French drains typically range from £1,200–£3,500, while soakaways can be £1,800–£5,000+ depending on size, excavation and disposal. We provide a written estimate after inspection.
Minor fixes such as clearing and repairing a short run, or replacing a small channel section, can often be completed in half a day to one day. Installing a French drain or land drain is commonly 1–3 days, while a new soakaway may take 2–4 days. Timescales depend on access to courtyards/terraces, depth of excavation, reinstatement requirements, and whether building management approvals are needed.
Most garden drainage improvements—French drains, channel drains, and soakaways—are usually permitted development and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, or where works affect shared structures and communal areas in apartment developments. We’ll advise on what’s likely required, check for any constraints, and can help you prepare details for managing agents or the council if permissions or consents are needed.
Yes. Our drainage installations come with a 10-year warranty on workmanship, covering issues such as failed joints, incorrect falls, or installation-related defects. The warranty applies when the system is used as intended and not altered by third parties. We also use quality components suited to external drainage, and we’ll explain maintenance steps—like keeping gullies clear—so your system continues to perform during heavy rainfall.
We offer several options depending on your space and finish. Popular choices include perforated pipe French drains with clean gravel, modular soakaway crates with geotextile wrap, uPVC land drains, and discreet channel drains with galvanised or stainless grates for terraces. For gutter drainage, we can connect downpipes to new runs or improve existing outlets. We’ll recommend the best layout after checking levels, discharge points and access.
