If your garden stays boggy after rain or water runs towards the house, we can help. We deliver targeted drainage upgrades across W6, including near King Street and the Hammersmith Apollo. Our team installs French drains, channel drains and soakaways to move water away quickly and discreetly. The aim is simple: a garden you can use, not one you avoid.
Homes in Hammersmith range from Victorian terraces with compact rear gardens to mansion flats and modern riverside developments. These properties often have older paving falls, shallow topsoil or hard landscaping that sheds water into low spots. In the garden drainage Hammersmith area, we frequently see issues caused by blocked gullies, clay-heavy subsoils and poorly placed downpipe outlets. We tailor the design to your layout, boundaries and existing services.
We start with a site visit and, where needed, CCTV surveys to confirm where water is pooling and why. Then we propose the right combination of grading, land drains, catch pits and soakaways, keeping disruption to a minimum. Work is completed neatly, with clear handover advice on maintenance and leaf management. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, tidy workmanship and a solution that lasts.
In the garden drainage in London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, access and parking can be the biggest practical challenge, especially around Brook Green and busy routes near Hammersmith Bridge. We plan deliveries, spoil removal and working hours to suit residential streets and permit rules. Ground conditions can vary from made-up ground to heavier soils, so we size soakaways and pipework properly. Where gardens are small, we use compact catch pits and channel drains to maximise usable space.

Costs vary with access, depth, and whether you need excavation or a pump. As a guide in W6, small fixes like a new channel drain or catch pit often start around £600–£1,500. A French drain run or land drain system is commonly £1,500–£4,000. Larger schemes with soakaways, re-grading and multiple runs can be £4,000–£10,000+. We provide a clear, itemised quotation after a visit.
Most domestic drainage jobs take 1–3 days, such as installing a French drain, a short channel drain, or a single catch pit. More involved projects—re-grading, multiple land drains, or a new soakaway—typically take 3–7 days. Timescales depend on access for materials, how much digging is required, and whether we’re working around existing patios, planting, or utilities. Wet weather can also slow excavation and reinstatement.
Most garden drainage works are permitted development because they’re below ground and don’t change the building’s external appearance. However, rules can differ if you’re in a conservation area, working near protected trees, altering levels significantly, or connecting to public sewers. We’ll advise on best practice for discharging water (preferably to a soakaway) and check any relevant council guidance. If permissions or approvals are needed, we’ll flag this before work starts.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our drainage installations, covering workmanship and the installed components we supply (such as pipework, fittings, catch pits and channel drains) when used as designed. The warranty doesn’t cover misuse, accidental damage, or blockages caused by lack of basic maintenance (for example, leaves left to build up in grates). We also explain simple upkeep steps to keep your system flowing properly.
We offer French drains with perforated pipe and clean gravel, soakaways (crate systems or traditional rubble), land drains for lawns, and channel drains for patios and thresholds. Catch pits can be installed for easy silt collection, and pump systems are available where gravity falls aren’t possible. Grates come in discreet black, galvanised steel or stainless finishes to suit modern or period settings. We’ll recommend the best option after assessing levels, soil type and water volume.
