Knightsbridge gardens and terraces can suffer from surface water, blocked runs and poor falls—especially after heavy rain. We design and install practical drainage that protects patios, lawns and lower-ground rooms without compromising the look of your outdoor space. Whether you’re close to Harrods or bordering Hyde Park, we tailor solutions to your plot and existing services. Our team handles everything from investigation to reinstatement.
Local properties range from grand mansion blocks to period townhouses and ultra-luxury apartments with terraces and podium gardens. These sites often have limited access, delicate paving, and complex existing drainage connections. As drainage contractors Knightsbridge area homeowners rely on, we work carefully around basements, lightwells and mature planting. We also account for shared drains and communal areas where responsibility and routing must be clear.
We start with a site assessment and, where needed, CCTV surveys to pinpoint collapses, silt build-up or root ingress. You’ll receive a clear plan covering falls, discharge points and the right system—French drains, land drains, channel drains or soakaways. Our installations are built to last and finished neatly, with surfaces reinstated to match. Homeowners choose us for transparent communication, punctual scheduling and a robust 10-year warranty.
Working across SW1, SW3 and SW7 means planning for controlled parking, narrow mews access and strict noise considerations. Ground conditions and historic builds can vary, so we verify levels, existing outfalls and any shared connections before installation. We also adapt methods to protect basement structures and high-value stone paving common in Belgravia and South Kensington. Where required, we coordinate documentation and timings to suit local management companies and council expectations.

Costs depend on access, depth, reinstatement and where water can legally discharge. As a guide, CCTV surveys often start from around £180–£350. Small channel drain or gutter drainage upgrades commonly range £750–£2,500. French drains and land drains are typically £1,800–£6,500, while soakaways can be £2,500–£9,000+ where excavation and premium paving reinstatement are involved.
Many targeted fixes, such as a short channel drain run or a localised repair, can be completed in 1–2 days. French drains, land drains or a new soakaway usually take 2–5 days depending on length, depth and spoil removal. Timescales are affected by access restrictions, basement protection measures, locating existing services, and the standard of reinstatement required for stone paving or landscaped beds.
Most garden drainage improvements are permitted and don’t require planning permission, especially when you’re not altering building footprints. However, rules can apply if you’re working near listed features, within conservation areas, or changing how water discharges to the public sewer. We check likely requirements, advise on compliant discharge options, and can liaise with building management or the council where approvals or notifications are needed.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our drainage installations, covering workmanship and the performance of the system as installed (for example, correct falls, connections and specified materials). It does not cover misuse, damage from third-party works, or issues caused by undisclosed existing defects outside the agreed scope. We also explain maintenance steps—such as clearing channel grates—to keep everything running properly.
We offer French drains with clean stone and geotextile, perforated land drain pipework, compact soakaway crates, and channel drains with discreet grates in galvanised, stainless or black finishes. For gutter drainage we can add new gullies, leaf guards and improved connections. Design choices depend on levels, soil permeability and aesthetics—especially around premium paving. We present options that balance performance, longevity and a refined finish.
