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 Ebbw Vale depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Homes in Ebbw Vale range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Across Gwent, the projects we price include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Ebbw Vale
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 Wales, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
South Wales is wetter than most of England, so a permeable build or a planned route for water is essential on every drive. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
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.
