Underground Drainage: choosing well

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.

Estimating your drainage

A 15 m run of 110 mm drain needs 5 pipes in 3 m lengths (or 3 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 Darwen delivery arrives

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

• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around BB3 are priced to the exact address.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.

Questions about drainage delivery in Darwen

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Darwen?

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.

Can I connect to the public sewer?

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

Do you deliver drainage to trades and homeowners in Darwen?

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

What do I bed drainage pipe in?

Usually pea gravel or a similar granular material around the pipe. We can add it to the order as bulk bags.
