Driveway drainage and soakaways across Worcestershire
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.
Even permeable drives sometimes need a channel: at the bottom of a slope towards a garage, across the top of a drive that falls to the pavement, or where clay ground drains slowly.
Across Worcestershire, the projects we price include replacing failed edges that have started to crumble, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property.
Prices in Worcestershire
Labour and material costs in the West Midlands run close to the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
Driveway drainage and soakaways: £50–£110 per linear metre.
Planning in Worcestershire
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.
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. Laying days in Worcester are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.

Driveway drainage and soakaways in Worcestershire: questions
Is the price fixed for Worcestershire 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.
Who approves dropped kerbs in Worcestershire?
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.
Do I need planning permission in Worcestershire?
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.
