Things to check before you order
Foul or surface water?
Foul (sewage) and surface water often need to go to different places. Check where your drains connect before you order.
Covers for the location
Chamber covers are rated for loads, from pedestrian areas to drives. Tell us where each chamber sits.
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.
Getting drainage onto your Gosforth site
Pipe travels in 3 m and 6 m lengths; fittings and chambers come boxed or loose with the load. Gosforth is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- On busy streets in Gosforth, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

- Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around NE3 are priced to the exact address.
A quick quantity check
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.
Ordering drainage for Gosforth: FAQs
Do you deliver drainage to trades and homeowners in Gosforth?
Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.
Do I need an inspection chamber?
Drains need access points at changes of direction and junctions in many cases. Your design will show where.
Can I connect to the public sewer?
New connections to a public sewer usually need approval from the local water company.
Can you deliver drainage to a site with restricted access in Gosforth?
Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.
