Driveway drainage and soakaways across Northamptonshire
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 Northamptonshire, the projects we price include setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base.
