Hayes (Bromley) has a semi-rural feel with large commons and a mix of period cottages, 1930s homes and large detached houses. These properties often have mature gardens, older gullies and downpipes, and long runs to existing drainage points. We regularly resolve waterlogged gardens, overflowing gutter drainage and driveway flooding for homeowners across West Wickham, Bromley Common and Keston. Every design is tailored to your levels, soil and the way water moves across your plot.
We start with a site visit, then map levels and identify the best discharge route using soakaways, land drains or channel drains. Where needed, we carry out CCTV surveys to confirm pipe condition and locate blockages or collapses before any digging. You’ll receive a clear scope of works, tidy installation and practical aftercare advice. Local homeowners choose us for transparent communication, clean finishes and a system backed by a 10-year warranty.

Costs vary with access, depth, ground conditions and where water can legally discharge. As a guide, small surface drainage or channel drain runs often start from £600–£1,500. French drains and land drains commonly fall between £1,500–£4,000 depending on length and reinstatement. Soakaways are typically £1,800–£5,500, especially if excavation is deeper or space is limited. CCTV surveys usually range from £180–£450.
Most small fixes, such as a short channel drain or reconnecting gutter drainage, can be completed in a day. A French drain or land drain installation is often 1–3 days, depending on length, depth and how much turf or paving needs lifting and reinstating. Soakaways typically take 1–2 days, longer if ground is heavy, access is tight, or we need to run pipework across the garden. Weather can also affect timings.
Many garden drainage improvements are permitted development, especially like-for-like repairs or adding drains within your boundary. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, working near a boundary, or discharging water to a public sewer rather than a soakaway. Some properties may have restrictions, and front garden works can be affected by paving and runoff guidance. We’ll advise what’s likely required and help you check with the London Borough of Bromley where needed.
Yes. Our drainage installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and the correct installation of components we supply and fit, such as pipes, channel drains, geotextile membranes and soakaway crates. It’s designed to give peace of mind that the system has been built to perform as intended. The warranty doesn’t cover misuse, accidental damage, or issues caused by third-party alterations, but we’ll always investigate problems promptly and advise on the best fix.
We offer several options depending on the problem and finish you want. Popular choices include French drains with clean stone and geotextile wrap, perforated land drains to intercept groundwater, soakaway crates or traditional rubble soakaways, and channel drains with discreet metal or plastic grates for patios and driveways. For gutter drainage, we can renew downpipe runs and add rodding access. We’ll recommend the right combination after checking levels, soil type and discharge points.
