If your garden is holding water after rain, the issue is usually poor falls, compacted ground or blocked outfalls. Our team installs surface drainage, land drains and soakaways to move water away quickly and discreetly. We regularly work across KT17 and KT18, including routes near Epsom Clock Tower and the Ashley Centre. The aim is simple: protect your lawn, patios and foundations from persistent saturation.
Epsom’s mix of large detached houses, period properties and executive homes often comes with bigger plots, long driveways and mature planting that can hide drainage problems. In areas such as Ewell, Stoneleigh and Epsom Downs, we commonly see water collecting at the base of slopes or along boundary fences. We tailor solutions to suit existing landscaping, from gravel paths to paved terraces. For older properties, we also consider how runoff interacts with original brickwork and subfloors.
We start with a site assessment and, where needed, CCTV surveys to pinpoint collapsed pipes, silt build-up or misconnected gutter drainage. You’ll receive a clear plan covering levels, pipe routes and discharge points, plus options for French drains, channel drains or soakaways. Our installations are tidy, with careful reinstatement of turf and paving and minimal disruption to access. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, transparent pricing and a 10-year workmanship warranty.
Across the drainage contractors Epsom area, we often deal with mixed ground conditions and gardens that slope towards buildings or garages. Parking and access can vary, especially around busier spots near Epsom Downs Racecourse, so we plan deliveries and spoil removal to keep disruption low. We also factor in downpipe positions and existing soakaway performance, which can be inconsistent on older plots. As drainage contractors in Epsom and Ewell Borough, we design systems that suit local property layouts and practical site constraints.

Costs depend on the cause of the problem, access, and how much excavation is needed. As a guide, CCTV surveys often start from £180–£350. A small surface drainage run or channel drain is commonly £600–£1,500. French drains and land drains are typically £1,200–£3,500, while new soakaways are often £1,800–£5,000+ depending on size, depth and disposal requirements.
Most minor drainage fixes, such as a short channel drain or reconnecting gutter drainage, can be completed in a day. French drains and land drains typically take 1–3 days, depending on length, depth and reinstatement. Larger soakaways or multi-area solutions can take 3–7 days. Timescales are affected by access for machinery, ground conditions, hidden services, and whether we’re working around existing patios, planting or driveways.
Most garden drainage installations are classed as permitted development and don’t require planning permission, particularly when they’re replacing or improving existing drainage. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, working near a boundary wall, or your property is listed or in a conservation area. Discharging water to a public sewer also has restrictions. We check the practical requirements and advise on any council or water authority approvals before work starts.
Yes. Our drainage installations come with a 10-year workmanship warranty for the parts of the system we install, such as pipework, fittings, channel drains and connections. It covers defects arising from installation, including incorrect falls or jointing issues. The warranty doesn’t cover misuse, third-party damage, or problems caused by pre-existing collapsed drains outside the agreed scope. We also provide care guidance to help keep the system performing well.
We offer several proven options depending on your site. French drains can be finished with gravel or turf for a discreet look, while channel drains come in polymer concrete or uPVC with different grate styles. Soakaways can be built using modular crate systems or traditional rubble where suitable. Land drains can be perforated pipe in clean stone with geotextile wrap to reduce silting. We recommend the best design after assessing levels, soil and discharge routes.
