Choosing 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.

Getting drainage onto your Cricklewood site

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

• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
• In summer Cricklewood gets around 16h 39m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

Common questions from Cricklewood

Do you deliver drainage to trades and homeowners in Cricklewood?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

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).

Do you supply gutters and downpipes?

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

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Cricklewood?

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.
