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.
In Harrow, the survey for this work is about levels, falls and ground conditions: where water goes now, what is under the surface and how materials will reach the site. Plot sizes and existing surfaces vary a lot across Harrow, so the survey comes before any fixed figure.
Across Greater London, the projects we price include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Harrow
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. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
