If your garden floods after heavy rain or water sits near the patio, the cause is usually poor falls, compacted ground or blocked outlets. Our team delivers targeted drainage solutions across W2, including properties near Queensway and Hyde Park. We combine grading with proven systems such as French drains and channel drains to move water away from buildings and usable areas. The result is a garden that stays practical, cleaner and easier to maintain.
Bayswater’s stucco townhouses, mansion conversions and period flats often have compact rear gardens and shared boundaries where drainage needs careful planning. We’re used to tight access routes, basement lightwells and older pipework that can be fragile or undersized. For the garden drainage Bayswater area, we tailor layouts to protect paving, planting beds and neighbouring structures. Where needed, we add catch pits and inspection points for straightforward future maintenance.
We start with a site visit and levels check, then recommend the right combination of land drains, soakaways or pump systems. If the issue is unclear, we can carry out CCTV surveys to pinpoint collapses, silt build-up or misconnected lines before any digging. You’ll receive a clear method statement, tidy reinstatement, and practical aftercare advice. Homeowners trust us for consistent communication, clean finishes and solutions built to last.
Working in the City of Westminster means planning around controlled parking, delivery windows and limited rear access. Ground conditions can vary, and many gardens sit over older services, so we locate and protect existing runs before installing new drains. Near Whiteleys and Paddington, we often see hard landscaping with minimal falls, so grading and channel drains make a big difference. We keep excavations compact and reinstate surfaces to suit period settings.

Costs depend on access, depth, and whether we’re connecting to existing drainage or building a new soakaway. As a guide, small fixes such as a short channel drain run or a catch pit typically start from £600–£1,500. French drains and land drain installations often range £1,500–£4,500. Larger schemes with soakaways, regrading and pump systems can be £4,500–£12,000+.
Many Bayswater drainage jobs are completed in 1–3 days, such as installing a French drain run, a channel drain line, or a catch pit with minor reinstatement. More involved projects—grading, new soakaways, multiple collection points, or pump systems—typically take 3–7 days. Timescales vary with access through the property, spoil removal, weather, and whether we need CCTV surveys or careful work around existing services.
Most garden drainage works are classed as permitted development and don’t require planning permission, especially where you’re improving drainage without altering the building. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, or where you’re making significant changes to hard surfaces and run-off. We’ll advise on best practice for sustainable drainage, check any relevant City of Westminster requirements, and help you document the approach if needed.
Yes. Our drainage installations come with a 10-year warranty on workmanship for the systems we supply and fit, such as French drains, land drains, channel drains, catch pits and soakaway connections. The warranty covers defects arising from installation, not damage from third-party works, misuse, or extreme events beyond design assumptions. We also provide maintenance guidance and recommend periodic checks of inspection points to keep performance consistent.
We offer several options depending on the look and performance you need: gravel-filled French drains, perforated land drain pipework with geotextile wrapping, polymer or metal channel drains with different grate styles, and soakaways using modular crates or traditional rubble (where suitable). Catch pits can be compact or high-capacity with rodding access. We’ll choose layouts based on levels, soil type, garden use, and how you want finishes to appear.
