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 Broadstairs depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Plots around Broadstairs are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Typical projects we can quote for in Broadstairs include digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Broadstairs
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.

Weather and working days
The South East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Kent, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
