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 Wellingborough, 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. Wellingborough mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Typical projects we can quote for in Wellingborough include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

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