New Drains & Drainage Services in Poole
Poole spans everything from the sweeping detached properties of Canford Cliffs and Lilliput to the 1930s semis of Broadstone and the modern estates of Canford Heath. Our teams are accustomed to the full range of Poole property types — tight urban accesses in the Old Town, waterfront properties with marine exposure, and suburban driveways in Broadstone and Upton where traditional block paving and asphalt are the most popular choices.
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 Poole
Poole falls within BCP Council's jurisdiction, and all new impermeable driveways over 5 square metres require either a SUDS-compliant drainage solution or planning permission. Poole's water table is notably high in low-lying areas close to the harbour, which can affect soakaway viability — we always carry out a percolation test to confirm the right drainage solution for your specific site.

New Drains & Drainage in Poole — Common Questions
Is soakaway drainage suitable for my Poole property?
It depends on your location in Poole. Properties close to the harbour or in low-lying areas may have a high water table that limits soakaway viability. We carry out a soil percolation test on every site survey and will always recommend the most appropriate drainage solution for your specific ground conditions.
