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 Ledbury depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Around Ledbury, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
In Ledbury we can price work such as replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Ledbury
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
The West Midlands is close to the UK average for rainfall, and much of the region sits on clay that holds water after wet spells. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
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.
