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.
Groundwork prices in Corby depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Homes in Corby range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
Projects we quote in and around Corby include preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Corby
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.

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. Laying days in Corby are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
