Planning the drop in Chatham

Pipe travels in 3 m and 6 m lengths; fittings and chambers come boxed or loose with the load. Chatham is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.

Before you order drainage

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 England, building work is checked against the Approved Documents, for example Part A for structure and Part L for energy efficiency, through your council's building control team or a registered building control approver.

Working out quantities for your Chatham job

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.

Questions about drainage delivery in Chatham

What fall should a drain have?

Domestic drains are commonly laid at a gradient around 1:40 to 1:80 depending on the pipe size and flow; follow your approved design or your national drainage guidance (Approved Document H in England and Wales, Technical Handbook section 3 in Scotland, Technical Booklet N in Northern Ireland).

Can I add other materials to my Chatham delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from drainage to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

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

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.

Can I connect to the public sewer?

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