If your garden holds water after rain, the issue is usually poor falls, compacted ground or blocked routes for runoff. We provide targeted drainage solutions across W12, from properties near Westfield London to streets by Shepherd's Bush Green. Our team fixes the cause, not just the symptoms, so lawns recover and patios stay safer underfoot. Installations are planned to minimise disruption and protect existing planting.
The Shepherd's Bush area has a mix of Victorian terraces, mansion conversions and modern apartments with shared courtyards. These homes often have limited side access, older clay pipework, and hard landscaping that can trap surface water. We regularly work around basement lightwells, narrow passageways and small rear gardens where every centimetre matters. Our garden drainage shepherd's bush area approach is tailored to each layout and level change.
We start with a site assessment and, where needed, CCTV surveys to confirm where water is travelling and where it’s getting stuck. You’ll receive a clear plan covering grading, drain runs, discharge points and any pump system requirements. Work is completed with clean reinstatement and practical aftercare advice for keeping channels and catch pits clear. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, experienced crews and a 10-year warranty on installations.
In the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, many gardens sit behind terraced homes with restricted access and shared boundaries. We plan spoil removal, deliveries and working hours to suit residential streets and parking controls around W12. Ground conditions can be compacted and slow-draining, so we combine grading with French drains, soakaways or land drains as required. Where gravity falls aren’t possible, we specify reliable pump systems with serviceable chambers.

Costs depend on the cause, access and the system required. Minor fixes such as local grading or a short channel drain might start around £600–£1,200. A French drain run with catch pit and reinstatement is often £1,500–£3,500. Larger schemes with soakaways, multiple land drains, or a pump system can be £3,500–£8,000+. We provide a site-specific quote after assessment.
Most domestic drainage jobs take 1–3 days, depending on garden size, access and reinstatement. A straightforward French drain or channel drain is commonly completed in a day or two. If we’re adding a soakaway, regrading levels, or installing a pump system, allow 3–5 days. Timescales also change with buried services, disposal routes through narrow side passages, and the finish you choose for paving or turf.
Garden drainage works are usually permitted development, especially when you’re improving how water is managed on your own land. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, working near boundaries, changing hardstanding drainage, or dealing with listed buildings and conservation areas. We’ll advise on best practice for compliant discharge (typically to a soakaway rather than the sewer) and can help you check any London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham requirements.
We back our drainage installations with a 10-year warranty, covering workmanship and the correct installation of specified components such as French drains, land drains, channel drains, catch pits and soakaway connections. The warranty assumes normal use and reasonable maintenance, like keeping grates clear and not crushing lines with heavy loads. If an issue arises due to installation, we’ll inspect and put it right promptly.
We design systems around how water behaves on your site. Options include perforated pipe French drains with clean gravel, modular soakaway crates, linear channel drains in polymer concrete or uPVC with discreet grates, and catch pits for silt control. For low-lying areas, we can add a sump and pump system with alarms. We’ll recommend the best combination after testing falls, soil conditions and discharge routes.
