Quantities: a worked example

A 30 m run of 110 mm drain needs 10 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.

Getting drainage onto your Highland site

Pipe travels in 3 m and 6 m lengths; fittings and chambers come boxed or loose with the load. Across Highland, deliveries are quoted individually because of the distance and access.

• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
• On busy streets in Highland, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

Getting the right drainage

Foul or surface water?

Foul (sewage) and surface water often need to go to different places. Check where your drains connect before you order.

Building over or near a sewer

Building near a public sewer may need permission from the water company. Check before you dig.

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

Common questions from Highland

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Highland?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

Can I connect to the public sewer?

New connections to a public sewer usually need approval from the local water company.

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 add other materials to my Highland 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.
