Getting drainage onto your Islington site

Pipe travels in 3 m and 6 m lengths; fittings and chambers come boxed or loose with the load. Islington 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.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.

Underground Drainage: choosing well

Building over or near a sewer

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

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.
