New Driveway Sloping Towards House

[Tomtay]

Hello

I've just had a new driveway put in my 1930's semi and in areas it slopes towards the house. I'm frustrated as I did keep emphasisng that the water needs to run away from the house. We went with a reputable company and apart from the slope towards the house in places they've done a really good job. As it's 1930's its suspended timber floors so I don't want water flooding underneath it and giving us damp and root in the house. The gradient isn't massive, but it's enough to mean water runs the wrong way towards the house. Some photos attached.

You'll probably see the line of the drive is a little high to the DPC, the old one was similar and never had any problems as it sloped away. I did ask about putting drainage channels in when they came to quote but said they weren't needed as the water will flow away from the house. As we didn't have them before i assumed that was fine.

We are where we are, clearly lots of issues above. I guess what I need to know what are my options now to rectify this? Couple of suggestions below:
1. Get the company/someone else to angle grind the drive up and retro fit some drainage channels that take the water away (can this be done? how neat can it be done retrospectively)?
2. Fit some sort of thin tile/sloped tile on top of the edging and seal it all like mad so it creates a runaway channel towards the flower bed on the left of some photos

Any other thoughts ideas? I don't think it can be left as is long term as the house will just get a pool of damp under the bay window.

Thanks in advance

You asked for it to slope away from your house, it doesn't Ask them to come back to correct it as it is not what you asked and paid for.

The remedy is to take those edge blocks out and lay a shallow channel surface water drain to the edge leading to a convenient discharge. Who should pay for that is another matter. See https://www.drainageshop.co.uk/
