Getting the right drainage

Covers for the location

Chamber covers are rated for loads, from pedestrian areas to drives. Tell us where each chamber sits.

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.

Delivering drainage in Falmouth

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

• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.

Quantities: a worked example

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.
