Drainage & Foundations in Cardiff
Sub-surface drainage, concrete pads and bases, foundation preparation and ground stabilisation in St. Mellons, Cardiff and South Wales.
Sub-surface drainage
Sub-surface drainage carries water away from where it causes problems. Standing water on lawns, patios and around buildings often points to a drainage issue that is worth addressing.
- Sub-surface drainage systems
- Drainage solutions to help prevent water pooling
- Ground preparation for drainage runs
The correct solution depends on the property and site conditions, which is why we assess the site first.
Dealing with water pooling
Pooling can come from compacted ground, poor levels, blocked or missing drainage, or run-off from nearby surfaces. We look at the cause rather than applying the same fix everywhere.
- Look for standing water after rain
- Notice damp or soft ground near buildings
- Check whether levels slope towards the house or patio
Reshaping levels may also be part of the answer. See groundworks.
Concrete pads, bases and foundation preparation
Sheds, outbuildings, equipment and extensions all need a stable base. We excavate, prepare and form concrete pads and bases, and prepare ground for foundations.

- Foundation preparation
- Excavation and ground stabilisation

Before new patios or lawns
