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 Clydach we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. In and around Clydach, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Projects we quote in and around Clydach include preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb, adding a soakaway so water stays on the property and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Clydach
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 Wales, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
South Wales is wetter than most of England, so a permeable build or a planned route for water is essential on every drive. Laying days in Clydach are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
How it works
Guide price first, then a free visit, then a line-by-line quote. Nothing is booked until you have the specification in writing.

What postcodes do you cover around Clydach?
We cover SA6, SA7 and SA8 and the surrounding districts, including Neath and Swansea.
Do I need planning permission in Clydach?
Wales has its own permitted development rules on the same principle: a front-garden hard surface should be porous or drain to a permeable area on the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
