How much to have 4 drains put in?

waaag

The four corners of my bungalow have never had drains, (luckily no damage has occured so far), so the water runs from the drainpipes into the garden, now I want to have a drain fitted under each drainpipe. The existing drainage is for the kitchen and bathroom and is situated at the front of the bungalow.. How much could I be looking at, please? any help appreciated, thank you. The bungalow is about 65ft long down each side.

we have got to have a soakaway put in our garden and we have been quoted £840

Ah! I actually have got a soakaway at one of the corners of the house, but I don't know if it would be feasible to have them (the drainpipes- underground pipes) all leading to that, would it? Its about 4ft away from one corner of the house and has been there all the time, any suggestions? thanks!! Its been something we haven't really used except for the hosepipe from one of the rainbarrels to run into but the dog always knocked the hosepipe out of place and there is a concrete paving slab covering the hole as there has never been a metal lid to it, this is another question, anyone know where I could get a metal lid for it, the sides to the square hole slope inward from the edges and there appears to be no facility like a lip round the edge which would support it, its not called a drain cover is it? I think its called a manhole cover? Oh its happening again - one job un-earths another......

Will it be a hard dig (tarmac/conc) or soft dig (grass/soil) as this can increase prices big time!

sorry slight delay to the satellite - i've been busy, thanks for your reply, it is all grass/soil where it has to be dug, something I'd not thought to consider! Thanks for pointing this out!, flang!
