Response within 24 hours
Persistent puddles and runoff can quickly turn a garden into a problem, especially after heavy rain. Our team designs and installs surface drainage, land drains and gutter drainage to move water away from your home. We regularly work around Wallington Square and near Beddington Park, helping homeowners protect patios, lawns and pathways. If your garden is waterlogged, we’ll pinpoint the cause and fix it properly.
Wallington’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and newer developments often comes with varied ground levels and older drainage routes. In streets around SM6, we commonly see blocked or collapsed runs, poorly placed downpipes and compacted soil that can’t absorb water. We tailor solutions for front drives, side access routes and rear gardens, whether you’re in Beddington, Hackbridge or South Beddington. The aim is simple: reliable drainage that suits the property and the way you use the space.
We start with a site visit and, where needed, CCTV surveys to confirm where water is backing up or pooling. You’ll receive a clear plan covering falls, pipework, soakaway sizing and discharge options, then we install with tidy edging and reinstatement. Our work is scheduled to reduce disruption, with careful spoil removal and clean handover. Homeowners choose us because we communicate clearly, turn up when we say we will, and deliver drainage that lasts.
As drainage contractors in the Wallington area, we plan for tight side passages, shared drive access and on-street parking constraints. We’re used to working near Wallington station and coordinating deliveries and spoil removal efficiently. In the London Borough of Sutton, we also consider surface water management and practical discharge routes, aiming to keep water on your plot where possible. Designs are adapted to typical garden sizes and the age of existing pipework.

Costs vary with access, depth, ground conditions and the length of run. As a guide in Wallington, small surface drainage or channel drain installs often start from £600–£1,500. French drains commonly fall around £1,500–£4,000 depending on length and reinstatement. Soakaways are typically £1,800–£5,500, especially if excavation and crate systems are required. CCTV surveys are usually £180–£450.
Many jobs are completed in 1–3 days, such as a channel drain, short French drain, or redirecting gutter drainage. Larger projects—new soakaways, multiple land drain runs, or extensive resurfacing—often take 3–7 days. Timescales depend on access for machinery, the amount of excavation, weather, and whether we’re reinstating paving, turf or planting beds. After the survey, we’ll provide a realistic programme.
Most garden drainage improvements are permitted development and don’t require planning permission, particularly when you’re installing drains, soakaways or improving falls within your boundary. However, rules can change if you’re altering a driveway surface, discharging into a public sewer, working near trees, or your property is listed. We’ll advise on best practice, check constraints, and recommend compliant options so the system is effective and lawful.
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. It applies when the system is used as designed and not damaged by later building works or root intrusion from newly planted trees directly over runs. We also use quality, rated materials and document the layout so future maintenance is straightforward.
We offer French drains with clean gravel finishes, perforated land drain pipework, soakaway crate systems, and surface solutions like polymer or galvanised channel drains with various grate styles. For gutter drainage, we can connect downpipes to new runs or improve existing routes with rodding points for maintenance. We’ll recommend the best combination based on your soil, garden levels, and where you want water to go, balancing performance with appearance.
