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 Northwich depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Homes in Northwich range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
In Northwich we can price work such as fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Northwich
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. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Northwich jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.

In England, a new or replaced hard surface of more than 5 m² in a front garden is permitted development only if it is porous, or if rainwater drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
