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 Horley, 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. Around Horley, longer drives and rural access are common, so deliveries and mixing space are planned at survey.
Across Surrey, the projects we price include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Horley
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 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.

Driveway drainage and soakaways in Horley: questions
Who approves dropped kerbs in Horley?
Dropped kerb consent comes from your council as local highway authority. We help with the application and get your drive ready to meet the new crossing.
Do I need planning permission in Horley?
In England, a new or replaced hard surface of more than 5 m² in a front garden is permitted development only if it is porous, or if rainwater drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
