Quality drainlaying. Every time.
Our small team of experienced drainlayers have been proudly servicing the Nelson Tasman region for over 20 years, specialising in residential, rural and commercial drainlaying. After a change of ownership a few years ago, we have now rebranded from Terry Westley Drainlayers to Chethams & Co Drainlaying.
We might have a new name, but nothing else has changed - you’ll still receive the same exceptional service from the same skilled team.

Our work
-
Berryfields & The Meadows
We have spent a significant amount of time in the Berryfields & The Meadows subdivisions over the past few years, installing sewer and stormwater drains for more than 285 residential properties. That’s a whole lot of pipe!

Sandy Bay | Jennian Homes
We couldn’t get digger access to this technically challenging site, so there was a lot of shovel work required to install sewer and stormwater drains here. But with views like this over golden sands, who’s complaining?
-
Hoddys Road | Salter Builders
This stunning property perched on the edge of the estuary required sewer and stormwater drains, a retention tank for water storage, firefighting couplings and connections to an existing septic tank.
“Chethams & Co Drainlaying are an outfit that stick to their word and deliver on their promises with the expertise and know-how to work through complex sites and jobs.”
— Mark Smale, Jennian Homes
