Quantities: a worked example

An 8 m run of 110 mm drain needs 3 pipes in 3 m lengths (or 2 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 Sandown site

Pipe travels in 3 m and 6 m lengths; fittings and chambers come boxed or loose with the load. Sandown needs a ferry crossing, so deliveries are quoted individually with the crossing included.

• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around PO36 are priced to the exact address.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.

Choosing drainage

Building over or near a sewer

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

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.

Underground Drainage in Sandown: 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.

Do you deliver drainage to Sandown?

Yes. We deliver across Sandown, including PO36, PO37, PO38, PO30. Sandown needs a ferry crossing, so deliveries are quoted individually with the crossing included. Send your list or call 0800 088 6341 and we will price it delivered to your postcode.

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).

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Sandown?

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.
