Driveway drainage and soakaways across Staffordshire
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.
In Stoke-on-Trent we can price work such as replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive.

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 West Midlands is close to the UK average for rainfall, and much of the region sits on clay that holds water after wet spells. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Staffordshire, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
