Driveway drainage and soakaways across Fife
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.
Surface water should not be connected to a foul sewer, and on a front garden in England it should not run onto the road. Where a soakaway is used, it is sited away from buildings and sized for the area it serves.
Projects we quote in and around Dunfermline include 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.

Planning in Fife
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.
Weather and working days
Fife is fairly dry for Scotland, but frost and cold snaps mean resin is laid in suitable conditions only. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Fife, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
