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 Milton Keynes depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Milton Keynes has everything from tight terraced frontages to large suburban drives, so no two quotes look the same.
In Milton Keynes we can price work such as digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, adding a soakaway so water stays on the property and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

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. Laying days in Milton Keynes are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
