BESABuilding & Groundworks

Straight-talking drainage, groundworks and building work, priced fairly and finished properly — the kind of company you'd actually recommend to a neighbour.

Our Core Trade

Proper Drainage Work.

A proper CCTV survey means you're never paying for guesswork. Blockages cleared, pipes relined, drains that actually work — fixed pricing, same-day fixes in most cases.

Our Word Besa Guaranteed

The Guarantee

A Besa is given once — and it doesn't get broken. That's not a slogan on the van, it's the standard every job gets held to before we ever pick up a tool.

  • The price you're quoted is the price you pay — agreed before work starts, not adjusted once we're on site
  • 10 years, in writing, on every structural drainage repair and reline
  • No half-hour clock running the second the van pulls up
  • A job isn't finished until it's actually finished — not patched just to get us off site

How We Work

No surveys skipped. No corners cut.

Drainage or groundworks, every job gets looked at properly before we quote or start work — that's what keeps the pricing honest and the result built to last.

Pricing
Drainage jobs get a fixed number straight after the survey. Groundworks and building projects get a clear written quote before any work starts — either way, no guessing what it'll cost once you're committed.
Response
Most drainage jobs are sorted same-day. Groundworks and building projects are scheduled properly, with a start date you can actually rely on and a realistic timeline for the work involved.
Equipment
Fully stocked vans mean most drainage fixes happen on the first visit. Materials for patios, decking and brickwork are ordered in before we start, so the job isn't held up waiting on a delivery.
Guarantee
10 years, in writing, on structural drainage repairs and structural groundworks and building work alike — not just a promise.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you only do drainage?
Drainage is our core trade and where most of our work is, but we also handle patio laying, decking, and block or brickwork — all built with the same drainage-aware groundwork that prevents problems down the line. See it all on our groundworks & building page.
Do you charge for the CCTV survey?
A full CCTV survey, written report and unblock is £200 — a genuinely fixed price, not a "free call-out" with charges added per half-hour once the van's on your drive. If the blockage turns out to be caused by root ingress or a collapsed pipe and can't simply be cleared, we'll give you a separate repair quote rather than force it.
Do you provide fixed quotes for patios, decking and brickwork?
Yes — we'll always give you a clear, written quote before any groundworks or building work starts, based on what the job actually involves. No vague estimates that change once we're on site.
What does the 10-year guarantee cover?
Structural drainage repairs and relining, and structural groundworks and building work — retaining walls, patios and decking — are all backed by our 10-year guarantee, giving you complete peace of mind on the fix.
Can you combine drainage and groundworks in the same project?
Regularly — a new patio or driveway often needs a soakaway or drainage connection as part of the same job, and we can design and install that ourselves rather than you needing to bring in a separate contractor.
Do you unblock kitchen sinks or toilets?
No — on the drainage side we exclusively handle outdoor drainage systems: external pipes, main drains, manholes and soakaways. We don't service internal blockages such as sinks, showers or toilets.
