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 Cirencester depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Around Cirencester, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
In Cirencester we can price work such as digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Cirencester
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 West gets more rain than the east of England, especially on higher ground, so permeability and falls matter on every drive. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Gloucestershire, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
