Effective drainage protects your property investment and prevents costly damage from water accumulation. We design and install tailored drainage systems that address the specific challenges of your site, whether you’re dealing with surface water issues, subsurface problems, or need preventative measures for new developments. Our drainage solutions include French drains, soakaways, channel drainage, and land drainage systems that redirect water safely away from buildings, paths, and operational areas.

Working across Essex, Hertfordshire, Suffolk, Norfolk, and Cambridgeshire, we handle everything from small repairs to large-scale commercial installations. Our team assesses your ground conditions, water flow patterns, and property requirements to recommend the most effective drainage approach. We use modern surveying techniques to identify problem areas and create systems that deliver long-term performance with minimal maintenance needs.

Understanding different drainage system types for your site
Choosing the right drainage approach depends on your property’s specific water management challenges. Surface water drainage systems like channel drains and gullies quickly remove rainwater from hard surfaces such as car parks and loading areas, preventing standing water that creates hazards. Subsurface systems including French drains and land drains address groundwater issues, lowering water tables in saturated soils that affect building foundations or make grounds unusable.
For larger commercial sites, we often combine multiple drainage types into integrated systems that manage water comprehensively. Agricultural land conversions, new construction projects, and renovated grounds typically require complete drainage infrastructure that considers future property use. Our team helps you understand which solutions suit your budget, timeline, and long-term property management plans, ensuring you invest in drainage that performs reliably for years.

Frequently asked questions
Contact Anglian Land Services today to discuss your needs. We’re happy to offer free advice, site visits, and no-obligation quotes.
Project duration varies based on system complexity and site size, with straightforward installations taking several days whilst extensive commercial systems may require weeks. We provide realistic timelines during our initial assessment and keep projects moving efficiently to minimise operational disruption.
We handle both drainage repairs and complete new installations, using CCTV surveys to diagnose problems in existing systems. Whether you need blocked drains cleared, damaged pipes replaced, or entire system upgrades, we deliver cost-effective solutions.
Persistent waterlogging after rainfall, boggy ground that remains wet between storms, water pooling near buildings, or damp problems in structures all suggest drainage improvements are needed. Early intervention prevents more serious and expensive property damage.
Well-designed drainage systems need minimal maintenance, though periodic inspections help ensure continued performance. We recommend checking gullies and access points annually, removing debris, and addressing any settlement or damage promptly to avoid system failures.
