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 Mitcham depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Mitcham mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Across Greater London, the projects we price include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Mitcham
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.
