Before your Galashiels delivery arrives

Pipe travels in 3 m and 6 m lengths; fittings and chambers come boxed or loose with the load. Galashiels 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.
• On busy streets in Galashiels, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.

Quantities: a worked example

A 26 m run of 110 mm drain needs 9 pipes in 3 m lengths (or 5 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.

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 Scotland most building work needs a building warrant from the local authority, assessed against the Building Standards Technical Handbooks.
