If your garden stays soggy after rain or water pools by the patio, our Peckham team can help. We design and install French drains, land drains, surface drainage and channel drains to move water away safely. Homeowners near Peckham Rye Park and along Queen’s Road often call us for recurring puddles and damp edges. We also handle gutter drainage connections to stop overflow soaking borders and paths.
Peckham’s mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and converted warehouses can hide a variety of drainage issues. Older properties may have tired clay pipes, shallow falls or compacted ground that holds water. In SE15 streets around Nunhead and East Dulwich, access can be tight, so we plan deliveries, spoil removal and reinstatement carefully. Our solutions are tailored to your layout, levels and how you use the space.
We start with a site visit and, where needed, a CCTV survey to locate blockages, breaks or poor gradients. You’ll receive a clear recommendation—soakaway, French drain, channel drain or a combined system—based on evidence, not guesswork. Our team protects paving and planting, keeps disruption low, and leaves the site tidy. Work is backed by a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
As drainage contractors peckham area homeowners rely on, we’re used to Southwark’s busy streets, controlled parking zones and limited side access. Ground can be heavily compacted in small gardens, and older hard landscaping may have poor falls that send water toward the house. We plan spoil removal and materials around access constraints, and we design systems that suit terraces and warehouse conversions alike. Where discharge options are limited, we prioritise compliant soakaways and efficient surface drainage layouts.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary with access, depth and how much water you need to manage. In Peckham, a small channel drain or localised surface drainage fix often starts around £450–£1,200. French drains commonly fall between £1,200–£3,500 depending on length and reinstatement. Soakaways can range from £1,800–£5,000+ where excavation is deeper or space is tight. CCTV surveys are typically £180–£350.
Most small repairs—like a short channel drain run or a gutter drainage connection—take 1 day. A typical French drain installation is usually 1–3 days, while a soakaway with new pipework can take 2–5 days. Timescales depend on access (terrace side returns can be narrow), depth of excavation, ground conditions and how much paving or lawn needs reinstating. We confirm a realistic schedule after the site survey.
Most garden drainage improvements are permitted development and don’t need planning permission, especially when you’re adding drains, regrading levels or installing a soakaway within your property. However, rules can change if you’re working near boundaries, altering a driveway, affecting a public footway, or dealing with listed buildings and conservation considerations. We’ll advise on best practice, check discharge routes, and help you stay compliant with Southwark requirements before work starts.
Yes. Our drainage installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and the correct installation of the specified system (such as French drains, land drains, channel drains and soakaways). It covers issues caused by installation faults, such as poor falls, incorrect connections or inadequate bedding. It doesn’t cover misuse, third-party damage or extreme events outside the design assumptions. We also provide aftercare advice to keep systems flowing well.
We offer several proven options depending on your site: French drains with clean gravel and geotextile, land drains for lawns, channel drains in polymer concrete or uPVC, and modular crate soakaways or traditional rubble soakaways where suitable. For surface water, we can combine regrading with discreet linear drainage. We’ll recommend pipe sizes, gradients and discharge methods based on rainfall run-off, soil type and available space, then match finishes to your paving style.
