Delivery to Seaham: what helps

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

• With roughly 7h 12m of daylight in Seaham around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.

Estimating your drainage

A 15 m run of 110 mm drain needs 5 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.

Underground Drainage: choosing well

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.

What fall should a drain have?
