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.
Before quoting groundworks in Stanley we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Many homes in Stanley have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Projects we quote in and around Stanley include setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Stanley
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 East has cool winters, so resin is laid in the warmer months or on dry, mild days when ground and air are above about 5°C. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
