Groundwork and Drainage Contractors
in Horsham, West Sussex and Surrey
Customers in West Sussex and Surrey know us best for our groundwork services but we also cover these two areas as drainage contractors. Our fourth-generation company, established in 1959, offers a full investigative, installation, replacement and reinstatement service which ties in perfectly with groundworks. We also deal with foul water and surface water issues.
Our drainage contractors provide services for domestic customers in nearby Horsham and in all surrounding West Sussex and Surrey areas, such as Cranleigh and Dorking to name just a couple.
Drainage services have an inevitable link with groundworks and paving installations but our customers can also rely on us for a first-class service when things start to go wrong. This is where our groundwork and drainage contractors are at their best. We understand the hygiene risks associated with structural damage, drain collapses, foul water and standing water better than most.
After sourcing many local businesses, we chose J M Evans Groundworks because the level of knowledge of patios and drives helped us enormously. The attention to detail and solving a number of drainage issues was very reassuring. We are very pleased with the resulting patio and drive and can strongly recommend this company.

Groundworks have a strong link to drainage and a better understanding of this core service helps customers to make better decisions on how to use our company. Naturally, groundworks have ties with excavation but our services also include land preparation for foundations, footings, oversites and concrete bases. We can create bases for garden sheds, garages, stables, conservatories and a full range of outdoor buildings.
Site clearances also feature heavily in our groundwork services and this includes spoil removal through the use of our own plant and machinery. J M Evans Groundworks also supplies aggregates for groundwork and drainage projects. We trade as a forward-thinking company that specialises in recycled materials. Because we also provide groundworks for hard landscaping projects, customers can use us for aggregates without having to source them separately.
We also carry out complete Groundworks packages for domestic and small construction companies to include Excavations, Foundations, Brick and Blockwork to DPC, Oversites, Foul and Storm Water Drainage. We also do Reinforced Concrete Rafts for the like of Timber Frame Construction companies.
If a survey suggests a collapse or structural damage to an existing drainage system, we advise homeowners in West Sussex and Surrey, including those in Horsham and surrounding areas, to choose an excavation and replacement service instead of a short-term fix using a drain lining. Our drainage contractors excavate to access the affected section with a mini digger or with larger plant but use hand tools near the end of the groundworks process to reduce the risk of further damage.
Next, we cut away the damaged sections and replace them for new, taking care to test our workmanship before reinstating and backfilling the excavated soil. A drain liner eventually wears and whatever caused the original problem will ultimately happen again. A full pipework replacement provides a permanent fix and lasts for much longer.
Most homeowners in South East locations such as Horsham and surrounding areas have no idea that their drainage consists of two systems; one for foul water and another for rainwater and the roof run-off to stop issues with standing water. If foul water runs into the rainwater system because of damage or misconnected pipes, it could contaminate drinking water or cause pollution in nearby rivers.
Our groundwork and drainage contractors specialise in surface water and foul drainage issues.
J M Evans Groundworks offers a full investigative service to identify and repair issues with these systems or, if required, can build new soakaways to replace those that cause problems with standing water. Our groundwork and drainage contractors work on dual and combined systems, and provide customers with expert advice built on 60 years of company and employee experience.
Some homes in West Sussex and Surrey have no connection to a main drainage system at all, which leaves them in need of a safe, reliable form of sanitation. Sewage treatment plants are underground installations, in a compact size, so that properties in isolated areas have suitable collection and treatment facilities. They have minimal visual impact, no odour issues and very little by the way of noise output with reassuring biological and natural treatment processes.
Because our drainage contractors are also specialists in groundworks, the excavation side of a treatment plant installation is all part of the service.
We comply with environmental legislation and current health, safety and quality standards. Our aim is to provide homes in all parts of West Sussex and Surrey, including properties in Horsham and surrounding areas, with an all-in-one service that includes supply and design. Installations exceed proposed discharge consent standards set by environmental bodies for the United Kingdom.
Our groundwork and drainage contractors also register sewage treatment plants with Local Authority Building Control (LARC).
