Quantities: a worked example
An 8 m run of 110 mm drain needs 3 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.
Before your Argyll and Bute delivery arrives
Pipe travels in 3 m and 6 m lengths; fittings and chambers come boxed or loose with the load. Across most of Argyll and Bute, deliveries are quoted individually because of the distance and access.
- Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
- Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
- Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
Getting the right drainage
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.
