Residential SuDS

SuDS for homes, estates and residential developments

Residential flooding is one of the most pressing drainage challenges in the UK today. As urban populations grow and extreme weather becomes more frequent, ageing drainage infrastructure is under increasing strain - and homes are often the first places to feel the impact from heavy rainfall and flooding.

We design, install and maintain sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) for residential properties of every kind - from individual homes to housing estates, blocks of flats and new-build developments.

Sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) can be very flexible and effective tools for managing surface water at a residential scale by capturing, slowing and filtering rainwater where it falls.

SuDS are highly adaptable and can be implemented into both new developments and existing infrastructure.

Types of Residential SuDS

SuDS features like planters, rain gardens and water butts integrated into residential spaces help reduce the speed of runoff and therefore ease pressure on existing drainage networks during periods of heavy rainfall events.

SuDS Planters

SuDS Planters connect directly to the residential roof downpipe, collecting and storing rainwater.

Rain Gardens

Vibrant and effective, rain gardens along residential roads reduce flooding and boost biodiversity.

Water Butts

Lightweight and holds large amounts of water - best suited to the rear of properties

Our Residential SuDS Planter Toolkit

Delivering SuDS planters on a residential scale to both private and government-owned properties requires careful planning, design and engagement with the surrounding community. Here are some steps you can take to ensure your residential SuDS scheme is successful:

Who we work with

We deliver residential SuDS schemes in partnership with:

Local authorities - We partner with councils and boroughs to retrofit sustainable drainage across streets, estates and council-owned properties, often in areas identified as Critical Drainage Areas (CDAs).

Water companies - We work alongside water companies on catchment-based flood reduction schemes, helping to ease pressure on the wider drainage network by managing surface water closer to its source.

Private developers - We work with private developers to integrate SuDS into residential developments from the design stages allowing for more effective, better-integrated solutions.

Our SuDS solutions are designed to suit any residential setting, including individual homes, terraced streets, housing estates, and blocks of flats.
