We design and install practical drainage solutions for homes near West Wickham High Street and Spring Park, tailored to your plot and levels.

West Wickham’s mix of 1930s semis, detached houses and newer developments often comes with altered ground levels, extended patios and paved drives that change how water moves. In the drainage contractors west wickham area, we frequently see downpipes discharging too close to foundations and old clay pipes struggling with modern surface water loads. We work neatly around side passages, garages and shared boundaries, keeping disruption low. If you’re in nearby Hayes, Shirley or Keston, we can match solutions to similar property layouts and access constraints.
We start with a site visit to assess fall, soil type, existing pipework and where water is entering or collecting. You’ll receive a clear plan covering options such as land drains, channel drains, gutter drainage connections or a soakaway upgrade, with sensible recommendations rather than upselling. Our installations are built for longevity with proper gradients, geotextiles and clean stone where required. Homeowners choose us for tidy work, straightforward communication and a 10-year warranty on qualifying installations.
As drainage contractors in London Borough of Bromley, we’re used to the varied ground conditions around West Wickham, from compacted garden soils to areas that shed water quickly onto hardstanding. Parking and access can be tight on residential roads, so we plan deliveries, spoil removal and reinstatement to minimise disruption. Many homes have extended patios and driveways, so we prioritise discreet channel drains and reliable downpipe connections. We also consider where water can legally discharge and keep work aligned with local requirements.

Costs depend on the cause, access and how much excavation is needed. A CCTV survey is often £150–£350. Small surface drainage fixes or a short channel drain run typically start around £600–£1,500. French drains and land drains are commonly £1,500–£4,500 depending on length and reinstatement. New soakaways are often £1,800–£5,500, influenced by size, depth and spoil removal.
Many jobs are completed in 1–3 days, such as installing channel drains, connecting gutter drainage, or adding a short French drain. Larger schemes—new soakaways, multiple land drain runs, or resolving complex level issues—often take 3–7 days. Timescales depend on access for machinery, the amount of digging, weather, and whether paving or turf needs reinstating. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site assessment.
Most garden drainage works are permitted and don’t need planning permission, especially when you’re managing surface water within your property using soakaways or land drains. However, rules can apply if you’re altering a driveway, affecting a public footway, working near trees with protection orders, or connecting to certain drainage networks. We’ll advise on the best compliant approach and, where needed, help you understand any council or utility requirements before work begins.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying drainage installations we supply and fit, covering workmanship and the correct installation of components such as pipe runs, geotextiles, stone backfill and channel drains.

We’ll explain what’s covered in writing before starting.

Popular choices include French drains with perforated pipe and clean stone, land drains for lawn areas, channel drains for driveways and patios, and modular soakaway crates for roof water.
