Response within 24 hours
Raynes Park gardens can quickly become waterlogged after heavy rain, especially where patios, lawns and driveways shed water towards the house. We design and install practical drainage systems that move water away safely using French drains, land drains and surface drainage. Whether you’re near Raynes Park station or closer to Cannon Hill Common, we’ll identify the cause and fix it properly. Our team works across SW20 and nearby streets with minimal disruption.
Homes in Raynes Park are often 1930s semis, Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses with mature gardens and older drainage runs. These properties can suffer from compacted soil, tired gullies, and downpipes that discharge into unsuitable areas. We regularly support homeowners in Wimbledon, New Malden and Motspur Park with upgrades that suit period layouts and modern extensions. The aim is always the same: keep water away from foundations and make outdoor spaces usable year-round.
We start with a site visit, levels check and flow testing, then recommend the right solution—channel drains for hardstanding, soakaways for runoff, or land drains for lawns. If needed, we carry out CCTV surveys to pinpoint collapsed pipes, silt build-up or root ingress before any digging begins. You’ll receive a clear scope of works, tidy reinstatement, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind. Local homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for straightforward advice and work that lasts.
As drainage contractors in London Borough of Merton, we’re used to mixed ground conditions and gardens altered over decades. Raynes Park streets often have limited driveway space, so we plan deliveries, spoil removal and parking carefully. We also factor in older downpipes, shared boundaries and the way 1930s plots shed water towards side returns. Our solutions are sized for real rainfall and designed to keep discharge compliant and sensible.

Costs vary with access, depth, pipe runs and whether you need excavation or a CCTV survey first. As a guide, CCTV surveys often start from £180–£350, while small surface drainage or channel drain sections can be £600–£1,500. French drains and land drains commonly fall around £1,500–£4,000 depending on length and reinstatement. Soakaways are typically £1,200–£3,500, influenced by size and ground conditions.
Most small drainage jobs, such as a short channel drain run or a gully connection, take 1 day. French drains, land drains or a new soakaway usually take 2–4 days, depending on length, depth and how much paving or lawn needs reinstating. Timescales can increase if we uncover collapsed pipework, need additional falls, or if access is tight around side passages typical of Raynes Park homes.
Most garden drainage installations are permitted development and won’t require planning permission, particularly where you’re improving infiltration and not increasing hardstanding. However, rules can apply if you’re altering a driveway, changing levels significantly, working near a public highway, or dealing with listed buildings and conservation considerations. We’ll advise on best practice, check discharge methods, and help you stay compliant with local requirements in the London Borough of Merton.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our drainage installation workmanship, covering issues such as failed joints, incorrect falls, or installation defects that affect performance. The warranty applies when the system is used as designed and not damaged by later building works, tree root removal, or third-party alterations. We also explain maintenance steps—like clearing leaf build-up from channel drains—to keep everything running efficiently.
We tailor the design to the problem and the finish you want. Popular options include French drains with clean gravel margins, perforated land drains for lawns, modular soakaway crates, and polymer or concrete channel drains with discreet grates for patios and driveways. We can also improve gutter drainage with new downpipe connections and rodding access points. We’ll recommend sizes, locations and finishes after checking levels and runoff routes.
