Driveway drainage and soakaways across Lancashire
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.
Surface water should not be connected to a foul sewer, and on a front garden in England it should not run onto the road. Where a soakaway is used, it is sited away from buildings and sized for the area it serves.
Across Lancashire, the projects we price include adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive.

Planning in Lancashire
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 North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so laying days are picked carefully and drainage under the drive gets extra attention. Laying days in Preston are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
