Honor Oak’s slopes and clay-heavy ground can push surface water straight towards patios and foundations. If your garden stays boggy after rain or you’re seeing pooling by the house, we can help. Our team works across SE23, including near Honor Oak Park station and One Tree Hill. We install practical drainage that clears water efficiently without ruining the look of your outdoor space.
Local homes here range from Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses to 1930s semis, often with narrow side access and compact rear gardens. That means drainage needs to be carefully planned around existing paths, steps and outbuildings. We regularly support clients in the drainage contractors honor oak area, including Forest Hill and Brockley. Every design is tailored to levels, soil conditions and how you actually use the garden.
We start with a site visit and, where needed, CCTV surveys to pinpoint blockages, collapsed pipes or poor falls. You’ll receive a clear plan covering options such as land drains, surface drainage, gutter drainage connections and soakaway positioning. Our installations are built to last, finished neatly, and backed by a 10-year warranty. With our base just 20 minutes away, we’re on hand for follow-ups and aftercare.
Honor Oak’s hilly streets can create fast run-off and unexpected pooling in rear gardens. We plan falls carefully, manage spoil, and schedule deliveries around tighter parking near Camberwell Old Cemetery and residential roads. For properties with limited access, we use compact equipment and staged excavation to keep disruption down. If any works touch shared boundaries or existing outfalls, we’ll advise on best practice and compliance for the London Borough of Lewisham.

Costs vary with access, depth, pipe runs and whether you need a soakaway or just surface drainage. As a guide, small channel drain installs often start from £450–£900, French drains commonly range £1,200–£3,000, and soakaways are typically £1,800–£4,500. CCTV surveys are usually £180–£350 depending on length and reporting. We confirm pricing after a site visit in SE23.
Many jobs are completed in 1–3 days, such as a short French drain run or a channel drain across a patio. Larger schemes involving soakaways, multiple downpipes, or regrading levels can take 3–7 days. Timescales depend on access (especially with terraces), ground conditions, and whether we’re reinstating turf, gravel or paving. We’ll provide a schedule before starting and keep you updated daily.
Most garden drainage improvements are permitted development, especially when they’re below ground and don’t alter the street-facing appearance. However, rules can change if you’re working near a public highway, altering a driveway, connecting to certain outfalls, or if the property is in a conservation area. We’ll advise on what applies, check any relevant constraints, and recommend the right approach before work begins.
Yes. Our drainage installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and the performance of the system as installed, including pipework, connections and fitted components such as channel drains. The warranty assumes normal use and that the system isn’t damaged by later building works or root intrusion from newly planted trees. We also explain simple maintenance steps, such as keeping gullies clear, to protect long-term performance.
We can install perforated land drains with clean stone and geotextile wrap, gravel-filled French drains, modular soakaway crates, ACO-style channel drains, and discreet gullies tied into gutter drainage. Finishes can be gravel, turf reinstatement, or paving repairs to match existing materials. We’ll recommend the best option based on levels, soil type, and where you want the water to discharge, balancing performance with appearance and budget.
