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 Edmonton depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Drives in Edmonton range from single-car frontages to wide plots, which is why every price follows a measured survey.
In Edmonton we can price work such as fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Edmonton
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
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. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.

Driveway drainage and soakaways in Edmonton: questions
Do I need planning permission in Edmonton?
In England, a new or replaced hard surface of more than 5 m² in a front garden is permitted development only if it is porous, or if rainwater drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
Is the price fixed for Edmonton jobs?
Yes, once the scope and specification are agreed in writing. If hidden ground conditions turn up, we explain and agree any change with you before doing extra work.
