Order drainage for delivery in Tonbridge

Underground drainage is the system of plastic pipes, bends, junctions and inspection chambers that carries foul and surface water away from a building, most often in 110 mm PVC-U pipe.

Whether it is a repair, an extension or a new build in Tonbridge, we can supply the drainage and deliver to site.

Picking the right product

Covers for the location

Chamber covers are rated for loads, from pedestrian areas to drives. Tell us where each chamber sits.

Building over or near a sewer

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

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.

Planning the drop in Tonbridge

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

  • If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
  • Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
  • Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.

Estimating your drainage

An 18 m run of 110 mm drain needs 6 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.
