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 Muswell Hill depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Many homes in Muswell Hill have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Across Greater London, the projects we price include setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

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. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Greater London, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
