Why Choose Us?
Managing Christchurch’s Unique Water Table
Living between the Rivers Stour and Avon means we deal with some pretty specific ground conditions here in Christchurch. The water table can be surprisingly high, especially as you get closer to the coast or the riverbanks. This makes proper drainage design absolutely vital. If a soakaway is installed too shallow or in the wrong type of soil, it simply won't work when the heavens open. We understand the local geography and the BCP Council standards, ensuring every system we install is perfectly suited to the specific soil conditions of your postcode. Have you noticed your existing drains gurgling or water pooling near your walls? It might be time to look at a dedicated surface water management plan.

Who We Are
Essential Percolation Testing for Peace of Mind
Before we even think about bringing in the diggers, we have to talk about percolation testing. It’s the most important step that some less-experienced contractors might try to skip. Essentially, we perform a 'trial hole' test over a 24-hour period to see exactly how fast your soil can actually absorb water. In some parts of Bournemouth and Christchurch, we find sandy soil that drains like a dream, while other spots have heavy clay that's much more stubborn. By getting the technical data right first, we ensure your new soakaway is sized correctly and compliant with Part H Building Regulations. It’s all about doing the job right the first time so you don't have to deal with a failing system five years down the line.

Modern Soakaway Crates and Silt Traps
Gone are the days of just filling a pit with rubble and hoping for the best. Today, we use advanced soakaway crates—also known as attenuation cells. These modular plastic units create a huge void underground that can hold vast amounts of rainwater during a storm, slowly releasing it back into the ground at a rate the soil can handle. To keep these systems running smoothly, we often install silt traps. These clever units catch debris and sediment before it enters the crates, preventing the system from clogging up over time. If you're dealing with driveway runoff, we can also integrate Acco drains to funnel that water exactly where it needs to go, keeping your entrance clear and safe.

01202 125163Professional Repairs for Failing Systems
Is your current soakaway starting to show its age? Perhaps you've noticed the ground above it sinking, or maybe water is backing up into your downpipes. Soakaway repair is a core part of what we do. Often, older systems become 'blinded' by silt and fine particles, losing their ability to drain. Our engineers can assess the damage—sometimes using a CCTV drain survey—to see if the system can be salvaged or if a replacement is the better option. We're fully insured with £5 million public liability cover, so you can rest easy while we’re working on your land. We pride ourselves on being tidy, efficient, and transparent with our pricing, so there are never any nasty surprises when the bill arrives.
