Request a quoteAbout Staff4dshire Groundworks & UtilitiesDrainage problems rarely fix themselves. Our drainage team in Lichfield installs new drainage, finds and fixes faults in existing systems and makes new connections to the public sewer for extensions, new builds and developments.
Lichfield is a cathedral city with a large conservation area of Georgian and older brick buildings around the Close, Bore Street and Dam Street. Around that core are 20th-century estates such as Boley Park, Leomansley and Curborough, and big new developments at Streethay and on the southern edge of the city.
Older properties in Lichfield often have shared or combined drains that are poorly recorded, so surveying before digging saves time and disputes.
For Lichfield (WS13 and WS14), planning applications are handled by Lichfield District Council, and highways matters such as scaffold licences, skips on the road and dropped kerbs by Staffordshire County Council. Our yard at Kimberley Business Park is about nine miles down the A51 from our Rugeley yard.
New drainage is laid to proper falls on a granular bed, with accessible chambers at changes of direction and connections that building control and the sewerage undertaker will accept. Sewer connections in this area are usually made to Severn Trent's network, and we handle the application.
Surface water is the other half of drainage. On drives, patios and yards we use ACO channels, gullies and soakaways sized for the area, so rainwater goes where it should and not against your house.

📍 Rob, Lichfield
We turned Rob's garden in Lichfield into a complete outdoor living space, with sandstone paving, decorative gravel on a stabilisation grid, raised sleeper beds and a new 8x4 shed on a concrete base. The centrepiece is a semi-sunken block-and-brick firepit area under a hardwood pergola. We also fitted a new 7.3m canopy, a hardwood gate and new fencing, and kept the Red Robin and roses Rob wanted to save.
📍 Becky, Lichfield
We restored Becky's paving in Lichfield. We cleaned and re-grouted around 60m² of patio, plus the pathway, the steps and the coping tiles, so the whole garden looks fresh again.
New housing at Streethay and on the south side of Lichfield has brought a lot of drainage, driveway and extension work, often on clay ground that needs proper foundations and soakaway testing. We check the site and any available records before we price the work.
Yes, including perforated land drains behind retaining walls and in waterlogged lawns.
Yes. New connections to the public sewer need approval from the sewerage undertaker, usually Severn Trent here. We prepare and submit the application as part of the job.
A CCTV survey with tracing shows the line, depth and condition of the pipes. We can mark them out on site before any digging starts.
We cover Lichfield and nearby places including Whittington, Shenstone, Fradley, Alrewas and Streethay, plus the wider Staffordshire and West Midlands area.
