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 Currie depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. In and around Currie, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
In Currie we can price work such as preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, 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 Currie
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 Scotland, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
Lothian is one of the drier parts of Scotland, but cold winters and frost make a well-drained, frost-resistant base important. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Currie jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.

Do I need planning permission in Currie?
Scotland's householder permitted development rules allow many hard surfaces at a house where the surface is porous or water drains to a permeable area within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
