What driveway drainage and soakaways involve
Driveway drainage collects surface water and takes it to somewhere it can soak away safely, usually with a linear channel drain across the drive and a soakaway crate or rubble pit in the garden. It is needed where a drive is impermeable or slopes towards the house or garage.
Groundwork prices in Kilmarnock depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Many homes in Kilmarnock have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Across Ayrshire, the projects we price include digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Kilmarnock
Surface water from a drive should stay on your property or go to a suitable soakaway or surface water drain. It should not run onto the road or be connected to a foul sewer. Soakaways are sited away from buildings.

Weather and working days
The West of Scotland is one of the wettest parts of the UK, which makes permeable driveways and careful laying-day planning especially important. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Kilmarnock jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
