Sizing your order

Things to check before you order

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.

Wales has its own Approved Documents, including its own Part L for energy efficiency, and building control is handled by the local authority or a registered approver.

Underground Drainage in Risca: questions

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Risca?

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.

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 Risca?

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

Do I need an inspection chamber?

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