Drainage
Whether it’s crafting new driveways, providing and laying attractive garden paving and fencing, or handling drainage systems, large-scale excavation, and building robust foundations, we ensure top-notch quality in every project.
Getting water where it needs to go
Whether you’re building an extension, preparing a new driveway, improving drainage or completely reshaping a site, good groundworks are where the job starts. At Bluebells Groundworks, we carry out a wide range of groundwork projects for homeowners, builders and other clients across Kent and East Sussex. We’re a family-run business with over 20 years of experience in the construction industry, and we take pride in doing the preparation properly before the next stage of a project begins. From excavation and foundations through to drainage, concrete bases, driveways and hard landscaping, we can take care of the groundwork needed to get your project moving.
Drainage for building projects
Drainage is often an important part of the groundwork for an extension or new building. We can install drainage runs and prepare the ground for connections, rainwater systems and other drainage requirements as part of a wider project. Getting drainage in at the correct stage means the work is ready for the next phase of construction.
Surface water and rainwater drainage
Managing rainwater is particularly important around driveways, patios, extensions and buildings. Depending on the site, solutions can include:
- Drainage runs
- Surface water drainage
- Soakaways
- Rainwater drainage
- Drainage channels
- Underground pipework
- Ground preparation and excavation
- Connections to existing systems
The right solution depends on the property, ground conditions, levels and where the water needs to go.
Drainage Problems
If you’re regularly seeing water collecting in the same area, a soggy patch of ground that never seems to dry out or water running towards a building, there may be an underlying drainage issue. Sometimes the answer is straightforward. Other sites require more investigation and excavation to find out what’s happening underground. That’s where proper groundwork matters.
Drainage as part of a wider project
We often carry out drainage alongside other groundwork, including foundations, extensions, driveways and landscaping. Doing the work together can make sense where excavation and ground preparation overlap, rather than having different contractors returning to the same area at different stages.
