How delivery works in Alness

Pipe travels in 3 m and 6 m lengths; fittings and chambers come boxed or loose with the load. Alness is in an area where deliveries are priced individually because of the distance and access, so we quote each order separately.

  • For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
  • Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
  • If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.

Working out quantities for your Alness job

A 12 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.

Things to check before you order

Building over or near a sewer

Building near a public sewer may need permission from the water company. Check before you dig.

Covers for the location

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

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

Questions about drainage delivery in Alness

Can you deliver drainage to a site with restricted access in Alness?

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.

Do you supply gutters and downpipes?

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

Can I connect to the public sewer?

New connections to a public sewer usually need approval from the local water company.

How soon can drainage be delivered in Alness?
