Typical section: sewer connections & drainage. Indicative, not to scale.
The challenge
Connections are where projects stall
A sewer connection involves the water company, the highway and a confined space. If the paperwork or the qualifications are not in place, the work waits.
We have delivered specialist groundworks across the North West since 2008. We know where these projects go wrong, and we plan for it before work starts.
What we deliver
Sewer connections & drainage, done properly
Sewer connections
Mains sewer connections across the North West, carried out by our own qualified team. We complete the United Utilities documentation so the work proceeds without delay.
New build drainage
Drainage that is planned, not rushed. Every run takes account of the ground type, the position of the house, garden and road, and above all future access.
Attenuation tanks
Attenuation tanks to control surface water run-off on developments and commercial sites, installed as part of the drainage design.
A drainage problem at home?
Collapsed drains, new connections and drainage for extensions. Call us and describe the problem, and we will advise on what it needs.
Our process
Site to sign-off
Three steps, whether it is a machine base for a factory or a treatment plant for a farmhouse.
Step 1: Tell us about the project
Call us or send the drawings. If it helps, we will arrange a site visit.
Step 2: A clear price, with the risks identified
We review the ground conditions, access and programme, and raise anything that could add cost later, while it is still inexpensive to resolve.
Step 3: Delivered and signed off
Built to programme by our own team and plant, and handed over with the paperwork that goes with it.
What our clients say
“Your staff were a credit to you. They got on with the job in hand without any fuss and with a positive attitude.”
What is at stake
When groundworks goes wrong
- Connections delayed by incomplete paperwork
- Drainage that fails inspection or cannot be maintained
- Third parties needed for road and chamber work
When it is done right
A connection made and signed off, and drainage that can be accessed and maintained for years to come.
What affects the price
Every project is priced on its own requirements. These are the factors that make the biggest difference, and we will discuss each one with you before work starts.
- Depth of the sewer and distance to the connection point
- Connections in the highway, which require traffic management
- Ground conditions and water in the trench
- Surface reinstatement
- The attenuation volume the site requires
Accreditations for this work
Sewer connections and openings in the highway are carried out by our own team, not passed to a third party.
- Confined Spaces
Connections and chamber work proceed without waiting for a specialist subcontractor.
Water supply work is done to the regulations the water company checks against.
