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 Ashford, Surrey we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Many homes in Ashford, Surrey have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Projects we quote in and around Ashford, Surrey include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

General information for England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
The South East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
