At KHE Contracts, drainage is one of the most important elements of any groundworks package we carry out. Get it wrong and you're looking at flooded plots, failed inspections, remedial costs, and programme delays. Get it right and everything above ground goes up cleanly and on schedule.
Our team is experienced in designing and installing both foul and surface water drainage systems for residential developments across Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and Northamptonshire. We work to the drainage strategy and coordinate with the engineer and building control from day one to make sure there are no surprises at inspection stage.
Common mistakes we see on sites include insufficient fall on drainage runs, incorrect pipe sizing, poorly compacted surround material, and inadequate CCTV testing before backfill. Our operatives are trained to avoid all of these — we take pride in clean drainage installations that pass first time.
Whether it's a single-plot extension or a 100-plot residential development, we apply the same level of care to every drainage package. It's one of the reasons our clients keep coming back. Speak to us about your next project: 07931 992 202 or jamie@khecontracts.co.uk.
