Drainage help - suggestions welcome!

[Tagged]

Hi all.

Trying to add drainage for my garage guttering, unfortunately when I moved in the garage didn't have any just a gutter discharging into the pathway that the previous owner laid on concrete flag and my worry was it going into the foundations long term although it's been like this for probly 20 years.

I've tried to dig up the first flag stone and tilt it away from the foundations, it does drain away but obviously the water just discharges into gaps and I can still see it run under the flags ect.

I've dug a bit of a trench today for water to drain away. I was thinking of moving the path to the left and adding decorative stones under the garage wall to help with drainage and adding a gulley under the gutter pipe and run the pipe under the trench I've dug into the garden? Or I'm more leaning towards a pipe from the gutter into the channel drain and just let it come out into the grass.

Any suggestions welcome I'm having major anxiety over this especially now I've moved things I regret ever touching it tbh but just want it sorted.

Thank you!

Easy, put a soak away in the middle of the lawn, with your down pipe going into a gully then a soil pipe into the soak away. Call a few garden companies to get a quote, unless you like digging.

You’ve got this far, you might as well do the job properly

dig a trench, put in some drainage pipe 110mm with a bend and gully by the downpipe is….then at the other end, dig a soakaway.

alternatively what about the other side of the garage - is there some waste ground it could discharge to

So there at 2 gutters 1 at either side, 1 discharges into the flags and I'm worried about the founds this is the 1 you see in the picture and the source of all my worry, the orher discharges into the grass/path and goes downhill so I'd be happy to connect both to the same system and let the pipe discharge out into the grass as my garden slopes down hill.

Perfect so I'll go to the builders yard tomorrow and price it. So I'm not to confident in what I'm looking for.

I ask for 110mm drainage pipe with a gulley? And U bend?

Can I dig down further and put the pipe down Into the trench I've dug and just fill with soil ontop again?

This is all new to me. I'm MORE than happy to tackle anything but lack of knowledge and budget really hold me back. I'll build a proper soakaway later my garden is large enough to just let the water drain out the bottom of my garden for now.

How does this look.

Gulleys Square in red, feeding to a channel drain in orange so it catches the rain water/run off as all water flows down there from my large concrete pad, then pipe in red again to a soakaway at bottom of garden
