Those Victorian properties around Dulwich Village weren't built for today's downpours. Modern drainage transforms waterlogged gardens into usable spaces year-round.
Response within 24 hours
Dulwich's clay soil and sloping terrain create particular challenges when heavy rain hits. Properties from the leafy streets near the Picture Gallery down to the busier roads of Herne Hill often struggle with pooling water after storms. Smart drainage design channels excess water away before it damages foundations or ruins that prized lawn you've been nurturing.
Installing effective drainage starts with understanding your garden's unique topography. Permeable driveways work brilliantly for those grand entrances common in West Dulwich, whilst French drains suit the narrower side returns typical of East Dulwich terraces. Soakaways tucked discretely beneath patios handle roof runoff without sacrificing precious garden space. Each solution gets tailored to your property's specific gradients and soil conditions.
Twenty years solving drainage puzzles across SE21, SE22 and SE24 means knowing exactly where water naturally flows in this neighbourhood. Local planning regulations? Sorted. That tricky spot where three gardens meet? Been there, fixed that.
