Agricultural & Field Drainage Contractors in North Yorkshire
Wright's Contractors installs agricultural and field drainage across North Yorkshire for farms, estates, paddocks and rural businesses. We deal with waterlogged fields, poached gateways, wet yards, blocked or inadequate drains and ditches that no longer move water effectively.
A useful drainage scheme starts with the land, not a standard trench pattern. We inspect falls, soil, existing drainage, outfall options and machinery access before recommending new field drains, repairs, ditch work or targeted remediation.
Our own excavators and dumpers let us manage longer rural runs and awkward access without relying on several separate hire arrangements. The quotation sets out the agreed drainage work and reinstatement so the scope is clear before we start.
What's Involved
New farm and field drainage runs designed around wet areas, falls and a suitable outfall.
Paddock drainage and stronger stone build-ups around poached gateways and high-traffic areas.
Investigation and repair of damaged, silted or poorly performing existing field drains.
Ditch clearance, formation and connections where an open drainage route is appropriate.
Our Process
Walk the land and identify wet areas, existing drains, soil, access and possible discharge points.
Agree drain runs, spacing, materials, outfall details and the required reinstatement.
Install pipe, clean drainage stone and geotextile where needed using suitable rural plant.
Check falls and outlets, reinstate the work area and explain how the system should perform.
Materials & Options
Perforated land-drain pipe sized for the agreed field or paddock scheme.
Clean drainage aggregate and geotextile where soil migration or silting is a risk.
Stone build-ups for gateways, tracks and livestock traffic areas.
Open ditch work or targeted repairs where a full new piped system is unnecessary.
