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 Welling we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Many homes in Welling have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Projects we quote in and around Welling include preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Welling
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.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
