Estimating your drainage

Getting drainage onto your Ballymena site

Pipe travels in 3 m and 6 m lengths; fittings and chambers come boxed or loose with the load. Deliveries to Northern Ireland include a sea crossing, so we quote each order individually.

• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• In summer Ballymena gets around 17h 20m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

Choosing drainage

Covers for the location

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

Building over or near a sewer

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

In Northern Ireland building work follows the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland), with guidance in the Technical Booklets, and applications go to the council's building control team.
