Why Surface Water Drainage Matters
Prevents Flooding
Uncontrolled surface water causes driveways, patios, and yards to flood. A proper drainage system captures and directs water safely away.
Protects Hard Surfaces
Standing water erodes tarmac, loosens block paving, and damages concrete. Surface drainage extends the life of your hard landscaping.
Meets Regulations
Building regulations often require surface water to be managed on site, especially for new driveways. We ensure your installation is compliant.
Manages Runoff
Channel drains, linear drains, and gullies stop rainwater running across surfaces and into areas where it causes problems.
Protects Property
Surface water flowing towards buildings causes damp, erosion, and foundation damage. Proper drainage intercepts it before it reaches your property.
Flexible Solutions
From simple channel drains to complete surface water networks, we design systems to match the scale and requirements of your site.

Surface Water Drainage Services in Greater Manchester
At JRPS Group Trading, we design and install surface water drainage systems for residential and commercial properties across Greater Manchester and the North West. From driveways and patios to car parks and commercial yards, we provide reliable solutions to manage rainwater runoff and prevent flooding.
Managing Runoff From Driveways and Patios
Hard surfaces such as driveways, patios, and paths do not absorb rainwater. Without adequate drainage, water pools on the surface, runs off into neighbouring properties, or flows towards your house. We install channel drains, gullies, and piped systems to capture and redirect this water safely.
Surface Water Drainage Options
- Channel drains – linear slot drains installed across driveways and patio edges
- Aco drains – heavy-duty channel drains for vehicle traffic areas
- Gullies and catch basins – point drains for collecting concentrated water flow
- Piped drainage – underground pipe networks connecting drains to discharge points
- Soakaways – underground dispersal for sites where mains connection is not available
- Permeable paving – allows water to drain through the surface directly
Preventing Pooling and Flooding
Pooling water on driveways, yards, and paths is not just an inconvenience – it damages surfaces, creates slip hazards, and can lead to structural issues if water reaches your property. Our surface water drainage systems are designed to capture water at source and move it away efficiently.
Compliance and Best Practice
For new impermeable surfaces over 5 square metres, building regulations require you to manage surface water on your own property. We ensure all our installations meet current regulations and best practice for sustainable drainage.
Areas We Cover
We provide surface water drainage services across manchester and the wider Greater Manchester region for domestic and commercial clients.
Frequently Asked Questions
If your new driveway is over 5 square metres and uses an impermeable surface (tarmac, concrete, non-permeable block paving), you are required to manage surface water on site. We can install the necessary drainage as part of your driveway project.
A channel drain is a linear drain set into the surface of a driveway, patio, or path. It collects water flowing across the surface and directs it into a pipe system or soakaway.
Most residential installations are completed within 1–2 days. Larger commercial projects may take longer depending on the extent of the drainage network.
Yes, we can retrofit channel drains and gullies into existing driveways with minimal disruption. We cut precise channels, install the drains, and reinstate the surface.
Water is directed to a soakaway, existing storm water drain, ditch, or other approved discharge point. We ensure all connections comply with local regulations.
If surface water is flowing towards your property, installing drainage to intercept and redirect it can significantly reduce or eliminate damp caused by external water ingress.
