If your garden is boggy after rain or your patio holds standing water, drainage is usually the missing piece. We design and install French drains, soakaways, surface drainage and gutter drainage to move water safely away from your home. Homeowners near Streatham Hill station and along Christchurch Road often call us for persistent pooling and damp-prone borders. Our solutions are built for long-term performance, not quick patches.
Streatham Hill’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions can have compacted ground, older drainage runs and limited side access. That’s where experienced drainage contractors streatham hill area make the difference: we plan routes that minimise disruption and protect existing paving and planting. We regularly work across SW2 and nearby Streatham, Tulse Hill and West Norwood. Whether it’s a rear garden, basement-adjacent lightwell, or a driveway fall issue, we tailor the design to the property.
We start with a site assessment, levels check and, where needed, CCTV surveys to locate blockages, collapsed sections or poor connections. Then we recommend the right system—land drains for saturated lawns, channel drains for hardstanding, or soakaways to manage roof and surface water. Clear written scopes, tidy working practices and sensible scheduling keep projects smooth. Many clients choose us as drainage contractors in London Borough of Lambeth because we communicate well and stand behind our work.
Streatham Hill has varied gradients and mixed ground conditions, so correct falls and outlet planning matter. We factor in access constraints common to terraces and mansion blocks, plus practical parking and delivery timing near Telford Park and the busier routes. Where discharge options are limited, we design soakaways and attenuation that suit garden size and soil performance. Our approach keeps water away from foundations while protecting the look of period properties.

Costs depend on access, depth, pipe runs and whether you need excavation or CCTV diagnostics. As a guide, CCTV surveys often start around £180–£350. Small surface drainage or channel drain sections may be £600–£1,500. French drains and land drains for a typical rear garden are commonly £1,800–£4,500. Soakaways (including excavation and crates) are often £1,500–£3,500, rising for difficult ground or long runs.
Most minor drainage fixes take 1 day, such as adding a short channel drain or reconnecting gutter drainage. French drains or land drains for a standard Streatham Hill garden typically take 2–4 days, depending on length, depth and reinstatement. Soakaways are often 1–3 days. Timescales can increase if we uncover collapsed pipes, need a CCTV-led redesign, or access is restricted through narrow side passages.
In many cases, garden drainage, French drains, land drains and soakaways are permitted development because they’re below ground and don’t change the building externally. However, rules can vary if you’re working near boundaries, altering hardstanding, or dealing with listed buildings and mansion conversions. We also consider SuDS guidance and safe discharge options. We’ll advise what’s likely required and can help you check with Lambeth if anything is unclear.
