Mayfair’s paved courtyards and compact gardens can struggle after heavy rain, especially around Berkeley Square and Mount Street. Our drainage team installs and repairs French drains, soakaways, land drains and surface drainage to keep water moving away from your property. If you’re seeing pooling by steps, damp lower-ground walls or slippery paving, we’ll diagnose the cause and design a practical solution. We also handle gutter drainage connections and upgrades for older systems.
Working across W1, we’re used to Georgian mansions, palatial townhouses and luxury apartments with basements and lightwells. These properties often have historic paving, tight side access and sensitive planting schemes that need careful protection. We plan drainage routes to minimise disruption while improving performance, whether it’s a concealed channel drain along a terrace or a soakaway positioned to suit utilities. For the drainage contractors Mayfair area homeowners rely on, we focus on clean finishes and robust engineering.
We start with a site visit and, where needed, CCTV surveys to pinpoint collapses, silt build-up or incorrect falls. You’ll receive a clear scope of works, recommended options and a schedule that respects neighbours and building management. Our installations are built for longevity, with correct gradients, proper backfill and tested outfalls. Homeowners choose us because we communicate clearly, arrive when we say we will, and stand behind our work with a 10-year warranty.
Mayfair sites often combine hard landscaping, basements and limited external space, which can concentrate runoff. We design around restricted access, delivery windows and controlled parking common in the City of Westminster. Where properties sit close to party walls, we route land drains and soakaways to protect foundations and neighbouring structures. We also coordinate with building managers and concierge teams for smooth, discreet working.

Costs vary with access, depth, and whether you need excavation or CCTV surveys. As a guide, CCTV inspections often start from £180–£350, while small surface drainage or channel drain sections may be £600–£1,500. French drains and land drains commonly range £1,500–£4,500 depending on length and reinstatement. New soakaways can be £2,500–£7,500+, especially where access is tight and spoil removal is complex.
Many repairs and small drainage upgrades can be completed in 1–2 days, such as adding a short channel drain or reconnecting gutter drainage. French drains, land drains or a new soakaway typically take 2–5 days, depending on excavation depth, access restrictions and reinstatement of paving or planting. CCTV surveys and diagnostics are usually done within a few hours. Timescales can extend if utilities are found or permissions are needed for skips and parking.
Most garden drainage improvements are permitted, particularly when you’re repairing like-for-like or adding below-ground drainage within your boundary. However, City of Westminster rules can affect works near listed buildings, conservation areas, or when altering external levels and hardstanding. If you need a skip, parking suspension, or work impacts public highways, approvals may apply. We check constraints early, advise on what’s required, and can help you plan the most compliant approach.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our drainage installations, covering workmanship and the integrity of the system we install (such as French drains, soakaways, channel drains and connected pipework). The warranty applies when the system is used as designed and isn’t damaged by later building works or unapproved alterations. We also explain maintenance steps, such as keeping gullies clear and checking guttering, to protect performance long-term.
We tailor the design to your site, finish and water volume. Popular options include French drains with clean gravel and geotextile, crate or rubble soakaways, perforated land drain pipework, and discreet linear channel drains with galvanised or stainless grates. For gutter drainage, we can upgrade downpipe connections and add rodding points for maintenance. We’ll recommend the best combination after assessing falls, soil conditions and how you use the space.
