Patio drainage next to a house: what should you consider?

A sensible first check

When should you act?

If water regularly pools against walls or crosses thresholds, the drainage and levels should be assessed.

This page is general guidance, not a diagnosis. If the issue involves immediate danger, active water near electrics, fire, gas, structural instability, unsafe working at height or another urgent safety risk, use an appropriately qualified professional or emergency service rather than relying on online advice.
