Sizing your order

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.

Picking the right product

Building over or near a sewer

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

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 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.

Getting drainage onto your Colchester site

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

• With roughly 7h 46m of daylight in Colchester around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.

Questions about drainage delivery in Colchester

Do I need an inspection chamber?

Drains need access points at changes of direction and junctions in many cases. Your design will show where.

Can I add other materials to my Colchester 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.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Colchester?

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.
