The team 

Wealden Drainage & Groundworks Specialist

James and his sons have carried out a whole host of different tasks at our site, including, drainage installation, concreting a new surface, concrete pad for new workshops, ground works and installation of portalable toilet cabin.  
Every job was completed professionally and in a good time frame and nothing was too much trouble, I would fully recommend James and his team.

Drainage works, site re surface and levelling, installation of a toilet porta cabin.

We asked for a quote for what we expected to be a major problem.  James came to look, found the problem and sorted it out there and then.  Very good communication, fantastic result.  Highly recommended.

Outside drain blockage

Great service ,arrived on time ,polite and very informative ,highly recommeded

Slow draining drains

James was very quick to respond, do an onsite quote and fix the problem despite being quite busy.  I had a few quotes for this work and he was competitively priced and the quality of work was excellent.  I would highly recommend Wealden Drains and would definitely use them again

Replacing exterior underground pipe and drain unblock

Excellent service.  Phoned on New Year’s Eve as we had a block sewage drain which was affecting my neighbours and my house.  James arrived within 1/2 hour and cleared the blockage and gave some advice.  Thank you for your help James.  Highly recommended if anyone has a problem.

Blocked sewage drain

A blocked storm drain was causing flooding to a number of garages in our block of flats after heavy rain.  Wealden were on site (two separate vans) within 45 minutes and had the drain cleared within half an hour.  More complicated than we expected because to clear it meant going down the foul chamber and jetting back.  Really helpful and also the follow up email gave us information on our drainage arrangement that were were not aware of.  We will certainly be using them to check out all of our drains with CCTV so that we can plan maintenance.  Could not recommend highly enough!
