Underground Drainage delivered to Portsmouth

Underground drainage is the system of plastic pipes, bends, junctions and inspection chambers that carries foul and surface water away from a building, most often in 110 mm PVC-U pipe.

We deliver drainage to sites, driveways and yards across Portsmouth, from a single pallet for a small job to full loads for bigger builds.

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.

Delivering drainage in Portsmouth

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

  • Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
  • Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
  • If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
