Estimating your drainage

An 18 m run of 110 mm drain needs 6 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.

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.

Before your Heywood delivery arrives

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

• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.

Ordering drainage for Heywood: FAQs

Do you deliver drainage to trades and homeowners in Heywood?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

What fall should a drain have?

Domestic drains are commonly laid at a gradient around 1:40 to 1:80 depending on the pipe size and flow; follow your approved design or your national drainage guidance (Approved Document H in England and Wales, Technical Handbook section 3 in Scotland, Technical Booklet N in Northern Ireland).

Can I add other materials to my Heywood delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from drainage to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

Do I need an inspection chamber?

Drains need access points at changes of direction and junctions in many cases. Your design will show where.
