Groundworks & Drainage Installation In Nottingham & The East Midlands
Drainage Installed Properly, From Design To Reinstatement
Our groundworks team designs and installs drainage for homes, extensions and small developments: new foul and surface water runs, soakaways, French drains, land drainage, manholes, channel drains and connections — built to Building Regulations Part H and, for soakaways, sized using the BRE 365 percolation test.
Groundworks & Drainage from £500 + VAT
This is our starting price. The final price depends on the job — access, depth and what we find on site — and we always confirm a fixed price before any work starts. No call-out fee. Call 07300 600 950 for a quote.
Groundworks we carry out
From waterlogged gardens to new-build connections, we handle excavation, pipe laying, backfilling and reinstatement.
- Soakaways (crate and rubble) with percolation tests
- French drains and land drainage
- New foul and surface water drain runs
- Manholes and inspection chambers
- Channel (linear) drains for driveways
- Drainage for extensions and new builds
Solving waterlogged gardens and driveways
Standing water usually means heavy clay soil, compacted ground or nowhere for surface water to go. A correctly placed French drain or soakaway — or a channel drain across a driveway — takes water away and protects your property.
