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.
Before quoting groundworks in Oadby we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Plots around Oadby are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Across Leicestershire, the projects we price include digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Oadby
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 East Midlands sits around the UK average for rainfall, with a mix of clay vales and lighter ground that changes what the base needs. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
