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 Penarth we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Plots around Penarth are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
In Penarth we can price work such as fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Penarth
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.
General information for Wales, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
South Wales is wetter than most of England, so a permeable build or a planned route for water is essential on every drive. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Penarth jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.

What postcodes do you cover around Penarth?
We cover CF64 and the surrounding districts, including Cardiff and Barry.
Do I need planning permission in Penarth?
Wales has its own permitted development rules on the same principle: a front-garden hard surface should be porous or drain to a permeable area on the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
