Those sloping Streatham gardens and narrow Victorian driveways need groundwork specialists who understand South London's unique challenges. From proper drainage solutions to solid foundations, transforming your outdoor space starts beneath the surface.
Response within 24 hours
Streatham's mix of period properties and newer developments each bring their own groundwork puzzles to solve. Clay soil shifts, mature tree roots, and decades-old drainage systems often surprise homeowners tackling outdoor projects. Professional groundworks ensure your paving, extension or landscaping sits on foundations built to last through London's weather extremes.
Modern excavation equipment navigates tight access between terraced houses, while precise grading prevents water pooling against Victorian basements. Proper sub-base installation determines whether your new driveway cracks within months or serves faithfully for decades. French drains, soakaways and permeable surfaces manage surface water according to current regulations, protecting both your property and neighbouring gardens from flooding issues.
Twenty years handling Streatham's tricky slopes and unpredictable ground conditions means fewer surprises during your project. Local knowledge matters when you're digging near hundred-year-old sewers or working around protected London plane trees.
