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 Ormskirk, 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. In and around Ormskirk, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Across Lancashire, the projects we price include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Ormskirk
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. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Lancashire, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
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.
