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.
Before quoting groundworks in Chesham we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. In and around Chesham, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
In Chesham we can price work such as fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Chesham
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 South East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Chesham jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
