Drainage & Soakaway Solutions
in Dorset
French drains, gully drains, channel drains & soakaways – flood prevention built to last. Local, experienced, and fully insured.
If you’re experiencing standing water, surface flooding, or poor ground drainage, Hambledons is here to help. We provide expert drainage and soakaway installations throughout Dorset for both residential and commercial properties.
​
Much of Dorset sits on clay soil, which drains poorly and is a common cause of surface water issues. Our drainage systems are designed specifically to tackle these conditions.
We install a range of systems tailored to your site and soil type, including French drains, gully drains, channel drains, and soakaways for properties without access to mains drainage.
French drains can be directed to either a mains drain or a soakaway, depending on the layout of your land and drainage requirements.
To ensure efficiency, we carry out a full percolation test before installing any soakaway system. This guarantees correct sizing and long-term performance, even during Dorset’s heaviest rainfall.
All our work is backed by a 10-year guarantee, and we offer free, no-obligation quotes following a site visit.
Our Drainage Services Include:
​
-
French Drains – redirect groundwater and surface water to a main drain
-
Gully Drains – collect rainwater runoff from roofs, patios, and driveways
-
Channel Drains – ideal for paved and high-traffic areas
-
Soakaways – installed after percolation testing where no main drainage connection is available
