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 Bartley Green, 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. Plots around Bartley Green are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Typical projects we can quote for in Bartley Green include adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Bartley Green
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 West Midlands is close to the UK average for rainfall, and much of the region sits on clay that holds water after wet spells. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
