Why Choose Us?

New Forest Ground Conditions and Your Property

Living on the edge of the New Forest brings beautiful scenery, but it also brings specific drainage challenges. The soil around New Milton often contains high levels of clay, which doesn't always play nicely with rainwater. When the ground becomes saturated, water has nowhere to go, leading to hydrostatic pressure against your walls and potential damp issues. We don't just dig a hole and hope for the best; we design bespoke surface water management systems that respect the local water table and ensure your property remains bone dry, even during a classic British downpour.

Who We Are

Mandatory Percolation Testing for Lasting Results

Before we even think about bringing in the machinery, we carry out a vital step: the percolation test. You might have heard it called a 'trial hole' or a 'drop test.' Essentially, we need to know exactly how fast your soil can absorb water. This is a 24-hour process that is required by Building Regulations (Part H) to ensure a soakaway is actually viable for your land. If the soil fails, we won't waste your money on a system that'll fail in six months. Instead, we'll look at alternative drainage repairs or system alterations to find a solution that actually works for your specific patch of New Milton.

Modern Soakaway Crates and Attenuation Cells

Gone are the days of filling a pit with loose rubble and crossing your fingers. Today, we use high-efficiency soakaway crates, also known as attenuation cells. these modular plastic units create a large underground void that can hold massive amounts of storm water before slowly releasing it back into the earth at a rate the ground can handle. We also install silt traps upstream of the soakaway. These clever units catch debris and leaves before they reach the crates, preventing the system from clogging up and ensuring your drainage remains maintenance-free for years to come.
