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 Strood, 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. Homes in Strood range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Typical projects we can quote for in Strood include preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Strood
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 South East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Strood jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
