French drains, gully drains, channel drains & soakaways – flood prevention built to last. Local, experienced, and fully insured.

Green Leaves

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 the majority of Dorset for both residential and commercial properties.

​

Much of Dorset sits on clay and other poorly draining soil types and is a common cause of surface water issues, not to mention the hills, valleys and flood plains causing excess sitting water to many areas. 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.

 

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.
