Professional Drain Installations in Guildford

Expert Drain Installations in Guildford

Drainage installations are essential for safely managing wastewater and rainwater across Guildford and the wider Surrey area. Many properties in Burpham, Merrow and Stoughton still rely on ageing clay pipework, often requiring modernisation to meet Building Regulations. Before installation, we carry out a full CCTV drain survey to examine ground levels, flow demands, soil type changes—especially clay belts near Merrow—and potential structural restrictions.

From foul drainage installations and new pipe runs to soakaway systems, land drains, trenchless moling, manhole construction and channel drainage, we manage excavation, installation, reinstatement, testing and certification. All systems meet British Standards and include a workmanship guarantee.

Why New Drain Installations Are Essential in Guildford

In Guildford, drainage installations are frequently required due to new developments, clay-heavy soil, sloped terrains near the Hog’s Back and ageing infrastructure. Common reasons homeowners and businesses contact us include:

• Outdated or failing drainage systems needing replacement
• New builds, extensions and conversions needing compliant foul and surface water drainage
• Surface water flooding requiring soakaway installation
• Failed or non-compliant soakaways in clay-dominant areas
• Upgrading clay and pitch-fibre drainage systems

All installations comply with Building Regulations Part H, SuDS guidelines and Thames Water requirements for Guildford properties.

3. Excavation, Trenching or Trenchless Moling: Driveway or landscaping projects requiring surface water drainage
4. Pipe Laying & Foul/Surface Water Connections: Building Control requirements for compliant drainage layouts
5. Soakaway, Land Drain & Chamber Installation: Installing land drains for saturated gardens and clay ground
6. Backfilling, Compaction & Reinstatement: Adding inspection chambers for access
7. Final Testing, CCTV Checks & Certification: Replacing collapsed, obstructed or tree-root-damaged pipe sections from mature Surrey trees
