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 Greenford we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Greenford mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Projects we quote in and around Greenford include preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Greenford
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 Greenford jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
