Why Choose Us?
Essential Percolation Testing for Your Property
Before we even think about digging a hole, we need to know what we're working with. Soil in Bournemouth can vary wildly—from the sandy stretches near the coast to the more stubborn clay pockets further inland. That is why a percolation test is absolutely vital. Think of it as a health check for your ground's ability to absorb water.We perform a rigorous 24-hour filtration test to determine the exact absorption rate of your soil. This isn't just a "nice to have"—it's a legal requirement for most new systems. It tells us exactly how big your soakaway needs to be and where it should be placed to avoid issues like hydrostatic pressure against your house walls. By doing the legwork upfront, we ensure your new system won't fail when the next big storm hits.

Who We Are
Modern Soakaway Crates and Attenuation Solutions
Gone are the days when a soakaway was just a pit filled with old bricks and rubble. Those old-school systems eventually clog up with silt and stop working. Today, we use advanced soakaway crates—modular, high-strength plastic cells also known as attenuation crates. These create a massive void underground, allowing large volumes of rainwater to be stored and then slowly released back into the earth at a natural rate.Silt Traps: We install these clever units before the water even reaches the crates. They catch leaves and debris, preventing your system from clogging up over time.French Drains: Perfect for diverting water away from paths or driveways into your main soakaway system.Acco Drains: Essential for managing runoff on paved areas and preventing puddles from forming outside your front door.

Navigating BCP Building Regulations with Ease
Installing a soakaway isn't just about digging a hole; it's about staying on the right side of the law. BCP Council has strict standards, particularly regarding Part H Building Regulations. You cannot just discharge surface water wherever you fancy—especially if you're near the sensitive ecosystems of Christchurch Harbour or the Rivers Stour and Avon.Our team understands these local nuances inside out. We ensure every installation is compliant with environmental agency standards and local planning requirements. We handle the technical side so you don't have to worry about future surveys or legal hiccups when it comes time to sell your property. It is all part of the service when you choose a registered, local professional.

Not every drainage problem requires a brand-new installation. Sometimes, a bit of professional TLC can bring an old system back to life. But how do you know if yours is failing? Keep an eye out for these red flags:Waterlogging in the garden that takes days to clear after rain.Damp patches appearing on lower walls or around your property's perimeter.Dip or sinkholes appearing in the ground above where the soakaway is located.Slow-draining gutters or gurgling sounds from your downpipes.If you notice any of these, give us a shout. We can carry out a no-obligation site assessment to see if a simple repair or a silt-trap clear-out will do the trick, or if it is time to talk about a replacement.
