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 Bedlington we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Around Bedlington, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Across Northumberland, the projects we price include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

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 East has cool winters, so resin is laid in the warmer months or on dry, mild days when ground and air are above about 5°C. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Northumberland, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
