Driveway & Patio Drainage in Solihull & West Midlands

Good drainage is one of the most important — and most overlooked — aspects of any driveway or patio installation. Without proper drainage, water can pool on the surface, seep under the base and cause long-term damage to even the best-laid paving.

At SBO Paving, drainage is never an afterthought. We design and install effective drainage solutions as an integral part of every project, ensuring water is directed away from your property efficiently and safely. From simple channel drains to full soakaway systems, we have the expertise to handle any drainage challenge.

We also specialise in retrofitting drainage to existing driveways and patios where water pooling has become a problem. If you are experiencing surface water issues, contact us for a free assessment and quotation.

Why Proper Drainage Matters

Prevents Surface Flooding

Effective drainage channels water away from your property, preventing surface flooding and protecting your home.

Protects Your Investment

Poor drainage is the leading cause of premature driveway and patio failure. Good drainage protects your paving for the long term.

SuDS Compliance

We design drainage systems that comply with Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) requirements, meeting planning regulations.

Prevents Subsidence

Water ingress under a driveway base can cause subsidence and cracking. Proper drainage eliminates this risk.

Protects Your Property

Directing water away from your home reduces the risk of damp, flooding and foundation damage.

Retrofit Solutions

We can install drainage solutions on existing driveways and patios where water pooling has become a problem.

Frequently Asked Questions

What drainage options are available?
We install a range of drainage solutions including linear channel drains, point drains, soakaways, permeable paving systems and connections to existing drainage. We will recommend the most appropriate solution for your site.
Do I need drainage for a resin driveway?
Resin bound driveways are porous, so water drains naturally through the surface. However, we still ensure the sub-base and surrounding areas are designed to handle water effectively.
Can you fix drainage on my existing driveway?
Yes. We can assess and retrofit drainage solutions to existing driveways and patios where water pooling has become a problem. Contact us for a free assessment.
Is drainage required by planning regulations?
For front garden driveways over 5 square metres, planning regulations require that surface water is managed on-site. Permeable surfaces or drainage to a lawn or border are the most common solutions. We will advise on compliance during the site survey.
