Those charming period properties around Bexley Village often sit on compacted Victorian clay that refuses to drain naturally. Modern developments near Crayford suffer equally when builders compress soil during construction. Whether your semi-detached home faces flooding near the back door or your new-build patio transforms into a pond after rain, proper drainage transforms unusable spaces into year-round gardens.
Installing effective drainage involves more than digging trenches and laying pipes. Soil analysis determines whether French drains, soakaways, or connection to existing storm systems suits your plot. Careful grading ensures water flows away from foundations whilst maintaining aesthetic appeal. Strategic placement of drainage channels prevents erosion whilst preserving mature plantings that Bexley residents cherish.
Twenty years solving drainage puzzles across Sidcup and Bexleyheath means recognising each garden's quirks immediately. Local planning regulations? Second nature. That problematic slope common to properties backing onto Danson Park? Sorted countless times.
