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 Maldon depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. In and around Maldon, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Projects we quote in and around Maldon include setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Maldon
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 East of England is the driest part of the UK, which gives a long resin laying season, though heavy clays in places mean the sub-base needs designing for slow drainage. Laying days in Maldon are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
