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.
In Hove, the survey for this work is about levels, falls and ground conditions: where water goes now, what is under the surface and how materials will reach the site. Drives in Hove range from single-car frontages to wide plots, which is why every price follows a measured survey.
In Hove we can price work such as setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Hove
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 East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. Laying days in Hove are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
