Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS)

When you choose Kent Services you commission a dedicated, experienced and knowledgeable in-house workforce for all your SuDS projects. Unlike many contractors, we do not outsource – our own team has the expertise to design, install and maintain Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) on both new developments and as retrofits on existing sites.

SuDS use natural processes to manage surface water run-off more effectively than conventional pipework, reducing flood risk, improving water quality, and providing attractive green infrastructure.

Our services cover the full range of SuDS features, including swales, filter strips, rain gardens, infiltration basins, permeable paving, attenuation ponds and wetlands. We handle every stage from ground preparation, construction and planting to long-term maintenance such as vegetation management, de-silting and inspections to ensure systems remain functional and compliant.

Kent Services is also the UK’s only approved installer of BioScapes® patented SuDS & Biodiversity Net Gain Planter units, bringing innovative, British-designed solutions to our clients.

By integrating SuDS into your project, Kent Services helps you meet planning conditions, achieve biodiversity net gain and deliver cost-effective, environmentally responsible drainage solutions benefitting both people and wildlife.
