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.
In Kilwinning, the survey for this work is about levels, falls and ground conditions: where water goes now, what is under the surface and how materials will reach the site. In and around Kilwinning, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Across Ayrshire, the projects we price include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Kilwinning
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.
General information for Scotland, not legal advice.
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 Kilwinning jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
Guide price first, then a free visit, then a line-by-line quote. Nothing is booked until you have the specification in writing.
Driveway drainage and soakaways in Kilwinning: questions
How soon can you survey in Kilwinning?
Call 0800 088 6341 or use the quote tool and we will offer survey dates. Surveys are free and run all year.
Is the price fixed for Kilwinning jobs?
Yes, once the scope and specification are agreed in writing. If hidden ground conditions turn up, we explain and agree any change with you before doing extra work.
Do I need planning permission in Kilwinning?
Scotland's householder permitted development rules allow many hard surfaces at a house where the surface is porous or water drains to a permeable area within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
