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 West Molesey we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Plots around West Molesey are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Projects we quote in and around West Molesey include setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in West Molesey
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. Laying days in West Molesey are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.

Driveway drainage and soakaways in West Molesey: questions
Who approves dropped kerbs in West Molesey?
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.
Is the price fixed for West Molesey jobs?
Yes, once the scope and specification are agreed in writing. If hidden ground conditions turn up, we explain and agree any change with you before doing extra work.
Do I need planning permission in West Molesey?
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.
