  • Bends, junctions and couplersFittings to change direction and join branches.
  • Soakaway cratesFor surface water where ground conditions allow.

How much will you need?

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.

Getting drainage onto your Rochester site

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

  • Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
  • If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
  • If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.

Choosing drainage

Foul or surface water?

Foul (sewage) and surface water often need to go to different places. Check where your drains connect before you order.

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.

Your questions answered

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 connect to the public sewer?

New connections to a public sewer usually need approval from the local water company.

Can I add other materials to my Rochester 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.

How soon can drainage be delivered in Rochester?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.
