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.

Underground Drainage questions

Do you deliver drainage to trades and homeowners in St Austell?

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

How soon can drainage be delivered in St Austell?

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.

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).

Can I connect to the public sewer?

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