Get some drainage put in

Options
The front of my house has paving slabs which are getting increasingly waterlogged near the external wall. I can see what I think are watertide marks and want some drainage put in.

Any ideas of what I should look out for and costs ?

    It would really depend on how bad the problem is and what the cause is..............you need someone to check out the cause before you'll be able to cost it :)

    It could be something simple you could manage yourself but it could turn out to be a major job.

    Can you see yourself why the water is collecting there ???

    I think the paving slabs near the house are sloping towards it rather than a huge problem with water running off. Im getting a quote on Mon just want to avoid being ripped off
