Estimating your drainage
A 30 m run of 110 mm drain needs 10 pipes in 3 m lengths (or 5 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.
Delivery to Rutland: what helps
Pipe travels in 3 m and 6 m lengths; fittings and chambers come boxed or loose with the load. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Rutland.
- Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
- If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
- Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
Choosing drainage
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.
