New Drains & Drainage in Southampton
Professional new drains & drainage by White & Sons in Southampton. 91 years of heritage craftsmanship.
New Drains & Drainage Services in Southampton
Southampton projects range from compact frontages with limited parking to wider suburban driveways. Access for excavation, neighbouring entrances and pedestrian routes all affect how the work should be planned. White & Sons serves Southampton from St Leonards near Ringwood, offering a surveyed specification for driveway replacement, block paving, patios and related preparation rather than a one-size-fits-all surface.
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.
New Drains & Drainage in Southampton — Local Detail
Southampton driveway drainage may require channels, changes to falls or a suitable infiltration system. We assess the plot and existing outlets before recommending a solution; not every garden is suitable for a soakaway.
Planning & Drainage in Southampton
Sloping plots and closely spaced properties make runoff control important in Southampton. New paving must not create a drainage problem for neighbours or discharge unchecked onto the highway. Southampton City Council handles planning and highways within the city boundary; nearby addresses outside the city may fall under different councils.

New Drains & Drainage in Southampton — Common Questions
Do you cover Southampton from your Ringwood-area base?
Yes. Southampton is part of the service area covered from the St Leonards office. Send the project postcode and a description of the work to arrange a survey.
Can you replace a narrow Southampton driveway?
We can assess narrow frontages, including excavation access, waste removal, pedestrian safety and parking layout. The site visit establishes what is practical before a quotation is issued.
Is Hampshire County Council responsible for every Southampton dropped kerb?
No. Southampton City Council is the highway authority within the city. Addresses beyond the city boundary should be checked individually rather than relying on the postal town.
