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 Ruislip, 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. Ruislip mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Across Greater London, the projects we price include adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Ruislip
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 Ruislip jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.

Do I need planning permission in Ruislip?
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.
