Things to check before you order

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.

Getting drainage onto your Stockport site

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

• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• On busy streets in Stockport, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.

Common questions from Stockport

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Stockport?

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.

How soon can drainage be delivered in Stockport?

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.

Can I connect to the public sewer?

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

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).
