If your lawn squelches after rain or water pools by the patio, the problem is usually poor falls, compacted ground or blocked routes for runoff. We design and install drainage that suits Eden Park gardens, from small side returns to long rear lawns. Homes near Eden Park station and routes towards Kelsey Park often see surface water collect after heavy downpours. Our solutions move water safely away from buildings and problem areas without ruining the look of your garden.
Eden Park has a strong mix of 1930s semis, detached houses and characterful Edwardian properties, many with mature planting and established patios. These gardens can suffer from tired, shallow drainage and hardstanding that sheds water straight onto lawns. We work neatly around existing features, protecting borders, paths and brickwork. If you’re in BR3 or close to Beckenham, West Wickham or Elmers End, we’ll tailor the layout to your plot and access.
We start with a site assessment and, where needed, CCTV surveys to identify blockages, collapsed pipes or poor connections. Then we specify the right combination of French drains, land drains, channel drains, catch pits, grading or pump systems to control water flow. You’ll get a clear scope of works, tidy installation and proper testing before we leave. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clean workmanship and a 10-year warranty on qualifying installations.
Our garden drainage in London Borough of Bromley accounts for mixed ground conditions, mature root systems and long rear gardens common around BR3. Access can be tight on some drives, so we plan spoil removal, materials delivery and parking carefully. We also consider existing soakaway performance and how nearby hardstanding sheds water. Where falls are poor, we use grading and catch pits to control flow without over-digging.

Costs vary with the cause and the solution. As a guide, simple channel drain runs or small repairs may start around £450–£1,200. French drains and land drain systems for a typical rear garden are often £1,800–£4,500. Soakaways, catch pits and pump systems can take projects to £3,500–£8,500+, especially if access is difficult or CCTV surveys reveal pipe failures.
Most jobs take 1–3 days, depending on the length of drain runs and whether we’re adding grading or new pipework. A straightforward channel drain installation can be completed in a day, while a full French drain and soakaway system for a larger plot may take 3–5 days. Timescales are affected by access, existing paving to lift and reinstate, ground conditions, and how quickly water can be tested after installation.
In many cases, garden drainage works are permitted development and don’t need planning permission, particularly when you’re improving surface water management within your property. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, working near boundaries, or connecting to existing drainage infrastructure. We’ll advise on best practice, check any relevant restrictions, and ensure the design directs water to appropriate outlets such as soakaways rather than causing issues for neighbours.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying drainage installations, covering workmanship and the correct installation of specified components such as pipes, geotextiles, catch pits and connections. It’s designed to give peace of mind that the system will perform as intended when installed and used correctly. Warranty terms depend on the scope (repair vs full install) and exclude damage from third-party works or extreme events beyond design assumptions.
We offer several proven options, including French drains with clean gravel and geotextile wrap, perforated land drains, channel drains with plastic or metal grates, catch pits for silt control, and soakaways using crates or traditional rubble. Where gravity falls aren’t possible, we can install pump systems with alarms. We’ll recommend the best combination after assessing levels, soil type, existing outlets and how you use the space day to day.
