New Drains & Drainage Services in Ferndown
Ferndown is one of Dorset's fastest-growing towns, with a mix of established 1970s and 1980s estates and significant new development in recent years. Driveways across Ferndown's housing stock tend to be generous in size, and the large front gardens of the town's detached homes lend themselves well to block paving and asphalt installations. We work regularly across Ferndown and the surrounding areas of West Moors, Three Legged Cross, and Stapehill.
A surface is only as good as what lies beneath. We provide comprehensive drainage solutions including SUDS-compliant soakaways, linear channel drains, ACO drains, and complete foul drainage connections. Since 2008, all new impermeable driveways over 5 square metres require planning permission unless adequate drainage is provided. Our team designs and installs compliant systems that satisfy local planning requirements while protecting your property from surface water flooding. We also install new foul drainage runs, inspection chambers, and connections to public sewers.
Planning & Drainage in Ferndown
Ferndown sits within Dorset Council's jurisdiction. The town's sandy heathland soils are generally excellent for soakaway drainage — percolation rates are fast, which makes soakaway design straightforward and cost-effective on most Ferndown sites.
