Response within 24 hours
Standing water, soggy lawns and damp edging can quickly spoil a Pimlico garden, especially after heavy rain. We design and install drainage that discreetly fits period settings and compact courtyards. Whether you’re near Tate Britain or around Dolphin Square, we’ll pinpoint why water is collecting and fix it properly. Expect clean lines, minimal disruption and a finish that looks intentional.
Homes across SW1 include Regency townhouses, mansion blocks and period conversions with raised terraces and enclosed rear gardens. These layouts often create pinch points where water can’t escape, leading to saturated borders and slippery paving. Our garden drainage Pimlico area service is tailored to tight access routes, basement levels and shared boundaries. We also work regularly across Westminster, Victoria and Chelsea.
We start with a site assessment and, where needed, CCTV surveys to confirm blockages, collapsed runs or poor falls. Then we specify the right solution—grading, land drains, channel drains, catch pits, soakaways or pump systems—based on levels and outfall options. Installations are carried out neatly with clear method statements and waste removal included. Homeowners choose us for straightforward advice, tidy workmanship and a 10-year warranty on qualifying installations.
Pimlico gardens often sit between hard landscaping, party walls and lower ground floors, so falls and discharge points need careful planning. We factor in restricted access, resident parking controls and considerate working hours common across the City of Westminster. Where gravity drainage isn’t possible, we design reliable pump systems with serviceable chambers. Our approach keeps finishes sympathetic to mansion blocks and Regency façades while meeting practical drainage needs.

Costs vary with access, depth, and whether we can drain by gravity or need a pump. As a guide, small fixes such as local channel drains or a catch pit often start from £750–£1,500. French drains and land drain runs commonly fall around £1,800–£4,500. Larger solutions involving soakaways, re-grading, multiple runs or pump systems can be £4,500–£12,000+.
Many Pimlico drainage jobs take 1–3 days, such as installing a short French drain, channel drain and a small catch pit. More involved schemes—re-grading, longer land drains, new soakaways, or pump systems—typically take 3–7 days. Timescales depend on access through buildings, depth of excavations, ground conditions, and making good lawns, paving or planting afterwards. We’ll provide a clear programme before starting.
Most garden drainage works are permitted development, especially where you’re improving drainage within your boundary and not altering the main building. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, or where works affect shared structures, highway drainage or significant changes to levels. We’ll advise on what’s likely to apply in the City of Westminster and can help you check requirements before any excavation begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying drainage installations, covering workmanship and the correct installation of specified components such as French drains, land drains, channel drains, catch pits and soakaways. The warranty is based on the agreed design, correct use, and reasonable maintenance (for example, keeping grates clear of leaves). If an issue arises, we’ll inspect promptly and put it right in line with the warranty terms.
We offer several options depending on the look you want and the performance required: French drains with gravel and geotextile wrap, perforated land drain pipework, discreet channel drains with metal or plastic grates, soakaways using crates or traditional rubble, and catch pits for easy maintenance. Where levels demand it, we can add pump systems with alarms. We’ll recommend the best combination after a survey and level checks.
