Sewer Connections & Section 106 Applications Blackpool
Approved contractors for legal and physical main sewer connections across Blackpool and Lancashire.
Connecting a new property or development to the public sewer network is a complex process that requires both legal approval and technical precision. In Blackpool and throughout Lancashire, these works must be carried out by approved contractors to ensure they meet the strict standards set by United Utilities and local highway authorities.
At Drainage Experts, based in Poulton-le-Fylde, we specialise in managing the entire connection process — from the initial Section 106 application to the final physical excavation and reinstatement.

Section 106 Applications Under the Water Industry Act 1991 , a Section 106 application is required to connect to a public sewer. We assist with the paperwork and technical drawings required by United Utilities to ensure your application is approved without delay.
