If your lawn stays boggy after rain or water runs towards your patio, our team can help. We install French drains, land drains, channel drains and surface drainage solutions across CR6, including Hamsey Green and around Warlingham Green. Whether it’s pooling by the house or a driveway that sheets water, we trace the cause and put in the right system. CCTV surveys are available when the issue may be underground or linked to existing pipework.
Warlingham’s mix of period cottages, large detached houses and country homes often comes with mature gardens, sloping plots and older drainage routes that have silted up. In Chelsham and Woldingham, we regularly see run-off from higher ground saturating borders and lawns. We tailor soakaway sizing, pipe gradients and outfalls to suit each property rather than using a one-size approach. The result is drainage that works through winter, not just in a dry spell.
We start with a site visit to map falls, identify low points and check existing gullies and gutter drainage. Where needed, we use CCTV to confirm blockages, collapses or misconnected lines before we dig. You’ll receive a clear plan, tidy installation and practical aftercare advice to keep systems flowing. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, clean finishes and a 10-year warranty on qualifying installations.
As drainage contractors in Tandridge District, we plan for variable ground conditions and the way rainwater moves across sloping plots. Access can be tight on older lanes, so we organise deliveries, spoil removal and parking with minimal disruption. We also factor in mature trees common around Warlingham Park School, which can influence root ingress and pipe routing. Every design is set out to suit CR6 properties and practical maintenance.

Costs vary with access, depth, ground conditions and where water can discharge. As a guide, small surface drainage or channel drain runs often start from £600–£1,500. French drains commonly fall between £1,500–£4,000 depending on length and reinstatement. Soakaways are typically £1,800–£5,500, especially if excavation is deeper or space is limited. CCTV surveys are usually £180–£450 depending on scope.
Many jobs are completed in 1–3 days, such as a channel drain to a driveway or a short French drain run. Larger schemes—multiple land drains, a soakaway and new gullies—often take 3–7 days. Timescales depend on excavation depth, spoil removal, weather, and whether we’re reinstating paving, turf or gravel. If a CCTV survey reveals a collapsed pipe, allow extra time for repairs and testing.
Most garden drainage, French drains, soakaways and channel drains are classed as permitted development and don’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, working near a public highway, or connecting to a public sewer. Some properties may have restrictions or covenants, and listed buildings need extra care. We’ll advise on the likely requirements and can help you check with Tandridge District Council where needed.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying drainage installations, covering workmanship and the correct installation of specified components such as pipes, geotextiles, channel drains and soakaway crates. The warranty applies when the system is used as designed and not damaged by later building works or unapproved alterations. We also explain simple maintenance—like clearing leaf build-up from gullies—to keep performance consistent.
We offer several proven options, including perforated pipe French drains with clean stone and geotextile wrap, modular soakaway crates, traditional rubble soakaways, and ACO-style channel drains with different grates. For surface water, we can add catchpits, silt traps and improved gutter drainage connections. We’ll recommend the best combination based on your soil, available space, falls and finish—turf, gravel, resin or paving—so it looks right and works properly.
