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 Pontypool depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Pontypool mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Projects we quote in and around Pontypool include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Pontypool
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. Laying days in Pontypool are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
