Effective water management for your land

Land Drainage

We design, install and upgrade land drainage systems across Battle, East Sussex and the wider South East — from French drains and perforated pipe field drainage to soakaways, attenuation systems and ditch clearance. As specialist land drainage contractors, we understand the Wealden clay, chalk and sandstone soils that dominate Kent and East Sussex, and we build drainage solutions engineered to manage groundwater, surface water and waterlogging on agricultural, rural and development land. Whether you need a new field drainage system in Battle, a French drain along a boundary in Cranbrook, or an attenuation basin for a development site in Hailsham, our own plant and experienced team deliver durable water management that protects your land and property.

Habitat and Wetland Creation

We design and create habitats and wetlands across Battle, East Sussex and the wider South East — from leaky woody dams, scrapes and shallow pools to swales, flow attenuation features, watercourse restoration, silt and sediment management, habitat enhancement, pond creation and restoration, and weir and flow-control construction. As specialist habitat and wetland contractors, we combine heavy plant and excavation expertise with a genuine understanding of wetland ecology and natural flood management, creating thriving wildlife habitats that support aquatic plants, amphibians, birds and local biodiversity while attenuating flow and improving water quality. Whether you need a leaky woody dam system on a stream near Battle, a scrape and shallow pool complex on an estate in Hailsham, a vegetated swale for a development site in Eastbourne, or a degraded watercourse restored into a functioning wildlife habitat in the South Downs, our own plant and experienced team deliver durable, ecologically sensitive results.
