Quantities: a worked example

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.

Delivery to Durham: what helps

Pipe travels in 3 m and 6 m lengths; fittings and chambers come boxed or loose with the load. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Durham.

• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.

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.
