History

Farm Services Ltd. is a specialist Land Drainage Contracting Company who offer a full service from design to installation. The company is skilled and experienced in all types of drainage from agriculture, civils and sportsfields. Originally set up by a local forester and millman as agricultural and land drainage contractors in 1941. In 1958 the company chose to specialise solely on Land Drainage and has done so ever since. To begin with the company was based in Barford, but eventually the original yard proved too small and the company moved to its present site at the Chesterton Estate Yard in 1975. As the years passed the company diversified into differing types of drainage, a process which has included the founding of a specialist sportsfield division called: sportsdrainage.co.uk.

The company continues to evolve and embrace new equipment such as laser guided levels and GPS devices. Almost all the plant is owned, operated and maintained by the company. Over the years considerable investment has been made in new plant and machinery. Many plant items are specialist and designed to our requirements. Farm Services Ltd. Client base is wide and includes, professional football clubs, local authorities, small village sports clubs, owner/occupier farmers, tenant farmers and major civil engineering companies. The vast majority of our custom is repeat business and many names can be traced back through the years.
