Response within 24 hours
Standing water on a terrace or podium garden can quickly damage paving, planting and building fabric. Our team delivers targeted drainage solutions across E14, including sites near One Canada Square and Jubilee Park. We tackle pooling after heavy rain, overflowing gullies and soggy planters with properly sized systems. The aim is simple: move water away safely and discreetly.
Canary Wharf homes are often modern high-rise apartments, waterfront developments and penthouses with terraces, balconies and communal landscaped areas. These spaces can suffer from restricted falls, waterproofing constraints and limited soil depth in raised planters. We’re used to working around building management requirements and shared access routes on the Isle of Dogs. If you’re in Poplar or Limehouse, we can also address ground-level gardens with persistent saturation.
We start with a site assessment and, where needed, CCTV surveys to confirm blockages, pipe routes and outfalls. Then we specify the right combination of grading, land drains, channel drains, catch pits, soakaways or pump systems to suit your layout. Installations are kept tidy, with clear handover notes and maintenance guidance. Homeowners and managing agents choose us for transparent options, careful workmanship and a 10-year warranty on qualifying installations.
In the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, many Canary Wharf properties have podium decks, basement car parks below, and strict waterproofing details that limit excavation depth. Access can be time-sensitive, with loading bays, lift bookings and parking controls, so we plan logistics carefully. We also account for high water tables near the docks and ensure suitable outfalls or pumped discharge where required. If you’re in the garden drainage Canary Wharf area, we’ll coordinate with building management to keep works compliant and smooth.

Costs vary with access, depth restrictions and whether you need pumps. As a guide, small fixes such as clearing and adding a catch pit or short channel drain often start around £450–£1,200. French drains and land drains commonly range from £1,500–£4,500 depending on length and reinstatement. Soakaways and pump systems can be £2,500–£7,500+, especially on podium gardens with limited falls.
Many drainage jobs are completed in 1–3 days, such as installing a channel drain run with a catch pit and reconnecting to an existing outfall. Larger schemes—French drains, grading, and new soakaways—often take 3–7 days. Timescales depend on access arrangements, lift bookings, noise restrictions, and the amount of reinstatement required. CCTV surveys and design are usually completed within a few days before installation.
Most garden drainage works are permitted development, particularly like-for-like improvements and below-ground drainage within your boundary. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, working near listed structures, or dealing with shared/communal landscaping managed by a freeholder. We also consider SUDS guidance and safe discharge points. For garden drainage in London Borough of Tower Hamlets, we’ll advise what’s needed and coordinate with managing agents where applicable.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying drainage installations, covering our workmanship and the correct installation of specified components such as channel drains, pipework, catch pits and soakaways. It doesn’t cover damage from third-party works, misuse, or exceptional events like structural movement outside our control. We also explain maintenance needs—such as periodic gully and catch pit cleaning—to keep the system performing as designed.
We offer several options depending on the space and finish you want: discreet linear channel drains (polymer concrete or uPVC), gravel-filled French drains, perforated land drain pipework, compact soakaway crates, and sealed catch pits for easy maintenance. Where gravity falls are limited, we can specify pump systems with alarms. We’ll recommend layouts, gradients and discharge routes that suit your paving, planters and building waterproofing details in the garden drainage Canary Wharf area.
