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 Sunbury-on-Thames we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Many homes in Sunbury-on-Thames have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
In Sunbury-on-Thames we can price work such as replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

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. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Surrey, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
