Persistent puddles after heavy rain? Properties across Keston's varied terrain often struggle with surface water, particularly those built on London clay. A professionally installed soakaway transforms problematic waterlogging into efficient natural drainage.
Response within 24 hours
Keston's mix of spacious Victorian plots and modern developments each present unique drainage challenges. Clay soil dominates much of BR2, making traditional drainage methods ineffective. Soakaways offer the ideal solution, channeling excess water deep underground where it disperses naturally. Years of working across properties from Keston Common to the village centre have shown us exactly which systems work best for local conditions.
Modern soakaway construction involves precise calculations based on your property's specific percolation rates. Perforated crates wrapped in geotextile membrane create underground chambers that collect runoff efficiently. The surrounding gravel layers filter water whilst preventing silt buildup. Each installation considers factors like your driveway gradient, roof area, and the distance to neighbouring boundaries - crucial considerations given Keston's varied plot layouts.
Local knowledge matters when installing drainage systems. Understanding how water behaves around Keston's hills and valleys guides every project we undertake. Decades of experience mean fewer surprises and more reliable results for homeowners.

Most residential soakaway projects in BR2 range between £1,800-£4,500. Smaller systems for patios start around £1,200, whilst comprehensive driveway solutions with multiple chambers can reach £6,000. Your property's soil type and access constraints influence final costs.
Absolutely - from properties near Hayes Common through to homes bordering Bromley and Farnborough. Every corner of BR2 falls within our regular working area, including the rural lanes around Keston Mark.
Standard residential soakaways typically complete within 2-3 days. Larger properties or those requiring extensive pipework might extend to 4-5 days. Weather conditions and ground conditions discovered during excavation occasionally add time.
Each soakaway system includes comprehensive ten-year protection covering both materials and installation quality. This warranty reflects confidence in proper design and construction methods - peace of mind that your drainage investment will perform reliably through countless seasons.
Yes, properly sized soakaways efficiently manage both roof runoff and surface water. Calculations factor in your total roof area alongside paved surfaces. Connecting downpipes directly to the system prevents overwhelming during storms whilst maintaining Building Regulations compliance.
