Most homeowners we speak to in Chorley are a bit overwhelmed by the technical side of connecting to the public sewer. Ever heard of a Section 106 connection? It sounds like a dry piece of legislation because, well, it is. It is the formal application you need to submit to United Utilities before you can hook your private drains into their network. The good news is that you do not have to spend your evenings deciphering application forms. We manage the whole process for you. From initial design and calculating invert levels to liaising with West Lancashire Building Control, we make sure everything is above board. We will deal with the bureaucracy so you can focus on choosing your new kitchen tiles instead.

It is easy to think a pipe is just a pipe, but your home actually needs two distinct systems working in harmony. Foul water—that is everything from your toilets, sinks, and showers—needs to go to the treatment plant, while surface water from your roof and driveway needs a different home. In many parts of Chorley, especially with our lovely Lancashire rain, managing runoff is a big deal. We install high-quality MDPE piping and create efficient layouts that prevent pooling and damp. If your property isn't near a main sewer, we are experts at installing soakaways—essentially stone-filled pits or modern plastic crates that let rainwater seep back into the ground naturally without flooding your garden. Do you know where your rainwater currently goes?

Not every property in the Chorley area is lucky enough to be on the main grid. If you are living a bit further out in the countryside, you might rely on a septic tank or a sewage treatment plant. Since the 'General Binding Rules' changed recently, a lot of old systems are actually no longer compliant. If you are worried your current setup is showing its age, or you need a brand-new installation for a rural conversion, we can help. We install modern, efficient systems that treat waste safely and keep the Environment Agency happy. We will talk you through the options, from traditional tanks to the latest treatment plants, ensuring you get a solution that is easy to maintain and won't cause a stink with the neighbours.
