Driveway drainage and soakaways across Lanarkshire
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.
Even permeable drives sometimes need a channel: at the bottom of a slope towards a garage, across the top of a drive that falls to the pavement, or where clay ground drains slowly.
In East Kilbride we can price work such as preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance.

Planning in Lanarkshire
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
Central Scotland gets steady rainfall through the year, so a permeable build and well-planned falls keep drives free of standing water. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so East Kilbride jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
Driveway drainage and soakaways in Lanarkshire: questions
Is the price fixed for Lanarkshire 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 Lanarkshire?
We cover ML, G and the surrounding districts, including East Kilbride and Hamilton.
Do I need planning permission in Lanarkshire?
Scotland's householder permitted development rules allow many hard surfaces at a house where the surface is porous or water drains to a permeable area within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
