Why Choose Us?

Protect Your Dorset Property with Modern Soakaway Fitting

If you've noticed patches of standing water on your lawn or damp creeping into your walls, your property's surface water management might be failing. In Ferndown, where many properties enjoy large gardens and driveways, managing rainwater is essential. We specialise in soakaway installation, using modern modular soakaway crates that are far more efficient than the old-fashioned 'pit full of rubble' approach. Before we start, we carry out a professional percolation test to ensure the soil can handle the water, saving you from future flooding and costly repairs.Alongside soakaways, we also install French drains and Aco drains—those sleek channel drains you often see across the front of driveways. These are perfect for intercepting run-off before it reaches your garage or front door. It’s all about attenuation: capturing that water and releasing it slowly back into the ground. Not sure which system you need? We can assess your garden and provide a clear plan to keep your property dry all year round.

Seamless Connections and Regulatory Compliance

One of the most daunting parts of a new installation is dealing with the local water authorities, like Wessex Water or Southern Water. If you're planning to connect a new drain to the public sewer, you'll need a formal 'Section 106' agreement. We’ve been through this process countless times and can help you navigate the requirements to ensure your new connection is compliant and safe.Our team also specialises in off-mains solutions. If your property in the more rural parts of Dorset isn't connected to the main sewer, we provide expert sewage treatment plant installation. These modern systems are environmentally friendly and far more efficient than old septic tanks. We’ll handle everything from the initial site survey to the final sign-off, giving you complete peace of mind.
