Accredited Drainage Groundworks and Section 106 Sewer Connections Across Blackpool & Lancashire

Call us now

I used the team for a full sewer installation on a new build project in Poulton. They managed the entire process, including the tricky Section 106 connection with United Utilities. Having a local firm that understands the FY6 ground conditions made a huge difference. Professional, on time, and they even applied a first order discount which helped the budget.

David O

Property Developer

We needed an urgent sewer repair and new connection for a commercial site in Blackpool. The structural work involved was significant, but the engineers were clearly experts in deep excavation and groundworks. They handled the paperwork and the physical connection flawlessly. Highly recommend their services for any major drainage infrastructure in Lancashire.

Sarah T

Site Manager

Fantastic service from start to finish. We required a new sewer run for a large extension in Lytham. The team was incredibly knowledgeable about the local water table issues and ensured the new installation was built to last. It’s rare to find a drainage company that is this transparent with pricing and technical details.

Mark W

Homeowner

After being let down by another contractor, I brought in the experts for my self-build sewer connection in Preston. They were absolute pros with the local authority requirements and the quality of the pipework and manhole construction was top-tier. Great to support a local Lancashire business that actually delivers on their promises.

Self-Builder

Whether you are a property developer, a self-builder, or a homeowner planning a significant extension, the installation of your foul and surface water drainage is the most critical stage of your build. In Blackpool and across the wider Lancashire area, drainage infrastructure must be designed to withstand local ground conditions, including high water tables and varied soil compositions.

At Drainage Experts, we specialize in professional sewer installations that meet all UK building regulations and water authority standards. From initial excavation to the final connection to the United Utilities main network, we provide a seamless, end-to-end service.

Our Specialist Sewer Installation Services

Section 106 Main Sewer Connections

Connecting to a public sewer is a strictly regulated process. We handle the technical side of Section 106 applications, ensuring all paperwork and design specifications meet the requirements of the local water authority. Our engineers are NRSWA accredited (Street Works), allowing us to safely excavate in public highways to facilitate your new connection.

New Build Drainage Infrastructure

We provide comprehensive groundworks for new residential and commercial developments. Our team ensures that every sewer run, manhole, and inspection chamber is installed with the correct gradient and bedding, preventing future issues like structural sagging or blockages.

Surface Water & SuDS Solutions

Managing rainwater is essential, especially in coastal areas like Blackpool and Lytham. We install Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS), including soakaways, attenuation tanks, and land drainage, to ensure your site manages surface water effectively and remains compliant with environmental standards.
