Delivery to Manchester: what helps

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

• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.

Estimating your drainage

An 8 m run of 110 mm drain needs 3 pipes in 3 m lengths (or 2 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.

Underground Drainage: choosing well

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 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.

Ordering drainage for Manchester: FAQs

What do I bed drainage pipe in?

Usually pea gravel or a similar granular material around the pipe. We can add it to the order as bulk bags.

Can I add other materials to my Manchester 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.

What size drainage pipe do I need?

110 mm is the standard size for most domestic underground foul and surface water drains; 160 mm is used for larger runs. Your design or building control will confirm.

Do you deliver drainage to trades and homeowners in Manchester?

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