Victorian terraces from East Putney to the river create unique drainage puzzles. Narrow side returns, shared boundaries, and that notorious Thames clay beneath it all. Years of solving waterlogged lawns between Putney Bridge and Roehampton have taught us exactly where water wants to go - and how to redirect it.
French drains snake between established borders. Soakaways hide beneath patios where permitted. Sometimes a simple grading adjustment transforms a swamp into usable space. Each solution depends on your soil depth, local water table, and whether you're dealing with surface water or something more persistent.
Local knowledge matters when you're digging near hundred-year-old foundations. SW15's drainage quirks aren't mysteries to us - they're Tuesday's job.
