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 Penzance depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Around Penzance, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Across Cornwall, the projects we price include adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Penzance
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 South West gets more rain than the east of England, especially on higher ground, so permeability and falls matter on every drive. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Penzance jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
Guide price first, then a free visit, then a line-by-line quote. Nothing is booked until you have the specification in writing.
