Why Choose Us?
Why Your Blandford Property Needs Professional Surface Water Management
Blandford is a beautiful market town, but being nestled along the River Stour comes with its own set of drainage challenges. If rainwater from your roof or driveway isn't handled correctly, it can lead to hydrostatic pressure building up against your walls, causing damp or even structural issues over time. A well-installed soakaway acts as a hidden reservoir, taking that excess water and letting it seep back into the ground at a pace the soil can actually handle. We've seen plenty of DIY jobs fail because they didn't account for the local water table, which is why we're so passionate about doing things by the book. It's about more than just a hole in the ground; it's about future-proofing your property.

Who We Are
Getting the Groundwork Right with Percolation Testing
Before we even think about bringing in the digger, we need to know exactly how your ground behaves. This is where the percolation test comes in. It’s a mandatory 24-hour filtration check where we dig trial holes and measure how fast water drains away. Since Blandford’s geology can vary from chalky uplands to the silty edges of the Stour, this step is vital. It tells us the exact size and depth your soakaway needs to be to comply with Part H of the Building Regulations. It's the only way to ensure your system won't just fill up and overflow the first time we get a heavy autumn storm.

Modern Soakaway Crates and Efficient Drainage Solutions
Gone are the days of simply filling a pit with old rubble and calling it a day. We use high-efficiency soakaway crates, also known as attenuation cells, which provide a much higher void ratio than traditional stone. This means they can hold far more water in a smaller space. For driveways, we often install Acco drains to catch runoff before it reaches your garage door, or French drains for those stubborn wet patches in the middle of a lawn. We also include silt traps in our designs. These clever units catch debris and leaves before they reach your crates, preventing the system from clogging up and ensuring your drainage stays maintenance-free for years to come.

We know that drainage work can sound like a headache, especially when it comes to council regulations and environmental standards. Our team handles the technical side for you, ensuring every install is fully compliant with BCP and Dorset Council standards. We're particularly careful around areas near the river to ensure we’re following Environment Agency guidelines. Beyond the legalities, our primary goal is your peace of mind. By diverting surface water effectively, you're protecting your foundations from the risks of subsidence and rising damp. It's an investment in your home that pays off every time the clouds turn grey.
