Picking the right product

Building over or near a sewer

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

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.

Quantities: a worked example

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.

Planning the drop in Retford

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

• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• On busy streets in Retford, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

Underground Drainage questions

Do I need an inspection chamber?

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

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 Retford 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 you deliver drainage to trades and homeowners in Retford?

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