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 Caernarfon, 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. Around Caernarfon, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
In Caernarfon we can price work such as adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Caernarfon
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
North Wales ranges from mild coastal towns to wetter upland areas, so drainage and laying days are planned with the weather in mind. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.

Driveway drainage and soakaways in Caernarfon: questions
Is the price fixed for Caernarfon jobs?
Yes, once the scope and specification are agreed in writing. If hidden ground conditions turn up, we explain and agree any change with you before doing extra work.
What postcodes do you cover around Caernarfon?
We cover LL55, LL61 and LL56 and the surrounding districts, including Bangor and Holyhead.
Do I need planning permission in Caernarfon?
Wales has its own permitted development rules on the same principle: a front-garden hard surface should be porous or drain to a permeable area on the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
