Driveway drainage and soakaways across Gloucestershire
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.
Even permeable drives sometimes need a channel: at the bottom of a slope towards a garage, across the top of a drive that falls to the pavement, or where clay ground drains slowly.
Typical projects we can quote for in Gloucester include setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble.
Prices in Gloucestershire
For the South West, where typical costs are above the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
Driveway drainage and soakaways: £55–£120 per linear metre.
Planning in Gloucestershire
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
The South West gets more rain than the east of England, especially on higher ground, so permeability and falls matter on every drive. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
