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.
Before quoting groundworks in Barnet we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Homes in Barnet range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Across Greater London, the projects we price include digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, adding a soakaway so water stays on the property and preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Barnet
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
London is one of the drier parts of the UK, but heavy summer downpours on small, mostly paved plots are exactly what front-garden drainage rules were written for. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Barnet jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
