Underground Drainage for Edinburgh, delivered to site
Underground drainage is the system of plastic pipes, bends, junctions and inspection chambers that carries foul and surface water away from a building, most often in 110 mm PVC-U pipe.
Whether it is a repair, an extension or a new build in Edinburgh, we can supply the drainage and deliver to site.

Getting the right 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 Scotland most building work needs a building warrant from the local authority, assessed against the Building Standards Technical Handbooks.
Delivery to Edinburgh: what helps
Pipe travels in 3 m and 6 m lengths; fittings and chambers come boxed or loose with the load. Edinburgh 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.
- Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
Sizing your order
A 22 m run of 110 mm drain needs 8 pipes in 3 m lengths (or 4 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.
