Drainage Contractors in Molescroft

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping priced fairly, worked cleanly and left photos of the pipe run for our records. No standing water by the step now.

Our veg bed drowned every shower. They added a shallow land drain behind it and a discreet outlet to the soakaway.

Dan showed me how to keep gravel breathing and left spare grid for the gully. First rain and the bed held shape. I’m genuinely chuffed. Feels like the garden can breathe again.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping produced a simple drawing for our builder showing depths, gravel size and connections. That avoided any crossed wires.

On site they were polite, careful with the patio doors and swept the road when finished. Value felt fair for the skill involved and the result speaks for itself.

Dan handled a basement stair that turned into a waterfall during storms. He proposed a compact sump with a neat power feed, talked us through safety and left a simple diagram on the fuse box.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping installed quietly, hid wires sensibly and tested everything twice. We had a downpour last night and the stairs were dry. Feels like a different house.

Dan arrived on time, explained options and priced them clearly. We chose mid range and it works perfectly.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping installed a gully along the drive and relaid blocks so the line reads straight. They left a little diagram for our files and labelled where things run.

Two storms in and the garage is bone dry. Neighbours noticed the difference instantly. Professional, polite and careful with plants.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping were recommended by two neighbours after last winter’s deluge. They arrived on time, checked falls with a laser and explained in simple terms how a French drain would ease the pressure on our patio.

The crew used boards to protect the lawn and relaid the turf neatly after. We were given photos of each stage which made the whole thing feel transparent. First proper downpour since and the water slipped away rather than sitting sulky by the door. I felt oddly proud looking out at a dry path for once.

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.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping traced our damp dining wall to a flat section outside the French doors. They cut a slim slot drain, matched the paving beautifully and linked it to an outlet under the lawn so nothing shows.

I appreciated the polite heads up before noisy bits and the way the lads stacked tools out of reach of the kids. The hallway already smells fresher. It is such a relief to walk out after rain and find no shine of standing water mocking you.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping priced fairly and stuck to it. We got photos of each stage and a clean site at the end.

The lawn finally feels firm underfoot.

Dan’s follow up was the clincher. He rang after the first big storm to check everything behaved, then emailed the photos for our records.

That sort of courtesy builds trust. The patio edge now sheds water cleanly and the damp smell indoors has gone. We slept easy for the first time in months.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping gave a clear, honest quote and stuck to it. They protected the driveway, stacked spoil tidily and recycled what they could.

Dan set a gentle curve on the trench so it reads natural under turf. The first big storm since and the garden held its shape. No lakes, no mud trails, just a calm, functioning space. Class work.

Dan dealt with our clay soil sensibly. He dug test pits, sized the soakaway correctly and used a geotextile wrap so it won’t silt up.

He even reset a loose step while there. He’s practical and easy to talk to. We got exactly what we needed without fuss or flannel.

Dan spoke to our elderly neighbour before digging near the boundary which eased everyone’s nerves. He explained how the soakaway works and why the trench needed that depth.

Courteous, steady and clearly experienced. The lawn sat up within a week instead of squelching.

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.
