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 Macclesfield, 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. Macclesfield mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
In Macclesfield we can price work such as digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. 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.
General information for England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
The North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so laying days are picked carefully and drainage under the drive gets extra attention. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
