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 Banbridge depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. In and around Banbridge, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Typical projects we can quote for in Banbridge include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Banbridge
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.

Northern Ireland has frequent rain spread through the year, so laying days are planned around dry spells and permeable builds make sense. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in County Down, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
