If your lawn stays spongy or patios hold puddles after rain, our team can help. We install French drains, soakaways, land drains and channel drains to move water away safely and discreetly. Working across BR2, including near Keston Common and Keston Ponds, we tackle everything from minor surface run-off to persistent waterlogged gardens. Every solution is planned around fall, outlets and protecting nearby structures.
Keston’s mix of period cottages, large detached houses and country homes often comes with mature gardens, long driveways and older drainage layouts. We’re used to tracing unknown runs, connecting gutter drainage correctly and upgrading tired systems without unnecessary disruption. Homeowners in Hayes, Farnborough and Downe choose us for practical designs that suit larger plots as well as tighter side access. If needed, we use CCTV surveys to pinpoint blockages, breaks or root ingress before we dig.
We start with a site visit to assess levels, soil conditions and where the water is coming from. You’ll receive clear recommendations and a tidy installation plan, whether that’s surface drainage, a new soakaway, or channel drains along paving. Our team protects planting, keeps work areas safe, and leaves surfaces clean and reinstated. Local homeowners trust us because we explain options plainly and back workmanship with a 10-year warranty.
Gardens around Keston can combine heavy, slow-draining soils with sloping sections that push run-off towards patios and garages. We plan falls carefully and position soakaways away from buildings, boundaries and tree roots. Access can be tight on older lanes, so we arrange deliveries and spoil removal to minimise parking disruption. As drainage contractors in London Borough of Bromley, we also consider local surface-water requirements and sensible discharge routes.

Costs vary with access, depth, pipe runs and whether you need a soakaway or just surface drainage. As a guide, CCTV surveys often start around £150–£350. Small channel drain installations can be £600–£1,500, while French drains typically fall between £1,200–£3,500 depending on length and reinstatement. Soakaways commonly range from £1,500–£5,000+, especially if excavation is deeper or spoil removal is complex.
Many jobs are completed in 1–3 days, such as adding channel drains, short French drains or improving gutter drainage connections. Larger projects—new soakaways, longer land drains, or multiple problem areas—often take 3–7 days. Timescales depend on ground conditions, depth, the amount of paving or lawn to lift and reinstate, and whether we uncover damaged pipes that need extra repairs. We’ll confirm a schedule after the site survey.
Most garden drainage works, such as French drains, soakaways and land drains, are usually permitted and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, working near a listed building, or affecting a shared boundary or public drainage connection. We’ll advise on best practice, check any relevant constraints, and ensure the design follows sensible discharge principles so water is managed on-site wherever possible.
Yes. Our drainage installations come with a 10-year warranty on workmanship, covering issues caused by installation faults such as poor falls, incorrect connections or failed joints. The warranty doesn’t cover misuse, accidental damage, or problems caused by third-party works after completion. We also use quality materials suited to the job, and we document the layout so future maintenance is straightforward. Ask us about optional maintenance checks for peace of mind.
We tailor the system to your garden and the volume of water. Popular options include perforated pipe French drains with clean gravel, modular soakaway crates with geotextile wrap, channel drains with galvanised or polymer grates, and discreet surface drainage gullies. For gutter drainage, we can add proper trapped connections and silt control where needed. We’ll recommend the best combination after checking levels, soil type and where water can safely disperse.
