How much will you need?

A 10 m run of 110 mm drain needs 4 pipes in 3 m lengths (or 2 in 6 m lengths), plus a bend or junction at each change of direction and an inspection chamber where your design shows one. Add pea gravel for bedding and surround and we will price the lot together.

How delivery works in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire

Pipe travels in 3 m and 6 m lengths; fittings and chambers come boxed or loose with the load. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.

  • Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
  • Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
  • Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.

Underground Drainage: choosing well

Covers for the location

Chamber covers are rated for loads, from pedestrian areas to drives. Tell us where each chamber sits.

Foul or surface water?

Foul (sewage) and surface water often need to go to different places. Check where your drains connect before you order.

In Scotland most building work needs a building warrant from the local authority, assessed against the Building Standards Technical Handbooks.

Underground Drainage questions

Can you deliver drainage to a site with restricted access in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

Do you supply gutters and downpipes?

Yes, in common profiles and colours, with brackets and fittings.

What size drainage pipe do I need?

110 mm is the standard size for most domestic underground foul and surface water drains; 160 mm is used for larger runs. Your design or the council's building standards service will confirm.
