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 Stourbridge we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. Many homes in Stourbridge have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Across the West Midlands, the projects we price include fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive, adding a soakaway so water stays on the property and setting a channel drain across a garage entrance. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Stourbridge
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
You start with a guide price, we visit to measure and check the site, you get a written quote, and we book the work for suitable weather.
Driveway drainage and soakaways in Stourbridge: questions

How soon can you survey in Stourbridge?
Call 0800 088 6341 or use the quote tool and we will offer survey dates. Surveys are free and run all year.
Do I need planning permission in Stourbridge?
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.
