Drainage Contractors in Broughton

Dan checked our neighbour’s garden and set the outlet where it would not bother them. Proper courtesy.

He followed up a week later to see how the ground settled after rain.

Dan followed up after the downpour to check all was well. That reassurance sealed it for us.

Proper service and a solid result.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping solved a damp line in our hallway by tackling the patio outside. They lifted one course, set a slim channel and tied it to a new soakaway in the lawn.

The finish looks original, not patched. Weeks later the skirting is dry and paint is behaving.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping gave us honest options with costs. We picked the mid tier and it was exactly right.

They kept soil and gravel separate on tarps, relaid turf in tight seams and washed the patio before leaving. The first proper downpour since and the difference is night and day. I’m genuinely relieved every time it rains now.

Dan carried out a calm assessment with a laser, string line and simple water test. He recommended a French drain behind the raised bed and a small gully by the step.

He cleaned as he went, chatted to our curious toddler and kept the gate latched for the cat. The result is quiet and effective. No fanfare needed, just good work that holds up in rain.

Our terraced yard became a shallow pond whenever the alley gulley blocked. Dan arrived with good humour, found the low point in minutes and designed a shallow channel to a tidy soakaway.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping kept the neighbours in the loop, worked quietly and cleaned the lane at the end. First proper rain and everything behaved. I’m chuffed with how simple the fix looks. It blends in like it was always meant to be there.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping lifted an old patio strip, installed a channel drain and matched our weathered slabs beautifully. The join is invisible unless you knew to look.

Dan checked the neighbour’s level to avoid a row and sent a friendly follow up to make sure the first storm went well. It did. The kitchen door area is finally usable in winter boots without skating.

Landlord here. Needed a fix between tenancies.

They installed a small soakaway and cleared roots from an old pipe. Tenants moved in to dry paths and a happy agent.

Dan arrived with dye and a hose to test flow rather than guess. He found a buried gully, regraded a short run and added a French drain through the lawn.

Clear steps, tidy finish and a follow up call two days later.

Dan checked levels with a laser, then showed me a quick water test so I could see the issue. He rerouted a downpipe, added a gravel trench and set correct falls on the path.

He swept up, washed the slab edges and left photos of each stage. Calm, knowledgeable and genuinely helpful. Worth every penny for peace of mind.

I suspected our old clay pipe had collapsed. Dan proved it with a quick camera check, then priced two options and let us choose without pressure.

We went with a new run into a soakaway wrapped in membrane so it won’t clog. Backhouse Construction & Landscaping worked steadily, kept the drive open for school runs and swept the road before packing up. The basement air feels lighter already. It is amazing what a calm explanation and correct gradient can do for your nerves.

Dan sized the soakaway properly for our roof. Two heavy showers later and the lawn has bounce not sludge.

We live on a slope and kept sending water to the patio corner. Dan set a gentle fall away, fitted a slim grate and linked it into a new soakaway under lawn.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping handled spoil discreetly and recycled what they could. The patio now dries faster than my patience used to. Friendly, punctual and careful with detail.

We’re landlords so timing mattered. Dan scheduled between tenancies, kept us updated with photos and finished a day early.

He corrected a backwards gully and tied it to a soakaway sized to the small garden. Backhouse Construction & Landscaping handover pack was neat and clear. New tenants moved in to dry paths and a happy agent. Value for money and zero faff.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping were recommended by my brother. They traced damp in the porch back to a flat section outside, then added a narrow trench and corrected the threshold.

The brick is already drying to its old colour. Crew worked quietly, kept the gate shut for the dog and swept the street after.
