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 Wrexham depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Homes in Wrexham range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Across Clwyd, the projects we price include adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Wrexham
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 Wales, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
North Wales ranges from mild coastal towns to wetter upland areas, so drainage and laying days are planned with the weather in mind. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
