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.
Groundwork prices in Littlehampton depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Homes in Littlehampton range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
In Littlehampton we can price work such as setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about driveway drainage and soakaways.

Planning in Littlehampton
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. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
