SEWER CONNECTIONS

YOUR LOCAL SEWER CONTRACTORS IN BIRMINGHAM

Any connection to the main sewer requires the services of a professional company that understands the relevant UK laws and regulations that govern how waste and surface water are channelled away from a property safely and effectively.

For all sewer connection projects that we undertake, we plan the entire project from start to finish, pre-inspect the site, liaise with local authorities and residents in the area, and complete our work on time. We also take care of all the paperwork for your new connection and obtain a permit from the local authority and water authority of your area for the excavation work. We will produce method statements, reports and applications for your local council and obtain approval for the sewer connection quickly. 

A site meeting/inspection will be arranged for the water board to approve the connection before backfilling.

Public and private sewer connections

Sewers & Highways Ltd undertakes both private and public sewer connection work for clients throughout the West Midlands. From open cut excavation, tankering and blockage clearance through to structural pipelining, impact moling, and directional drilling, we can do it all. We can even liaise with highway authorities and local businesses to carry out sewer connections on public roads. Parking bay suspensions, road closures and organising road traffic will also be taken care of. Contact us with your queries today!

Build over a public sewer

Extending your home is a great way to create more space and add value to your property. However, if your home improvement project involves building over drains, then you need to know exactly where the existing pipes are to avoid any potential damage to them. Additionally, you will also have to obtain approval from your local water authority. Sewers & Highways Ltd specialises in expediting build over agreements and securing approval for sewer work in less than 6 weeks. Contact us now. Based in Birmingham, we work with residential, commercial and civil clients throughout the West Midlands.

Diversion of a public sewer

When undertaking any building work, taking into account the existing public sewer system is important. If an existing sewer system passes through your property, or it is within a 3-metre radius of any proposed construction work, then it will need to be diverted. Sewers & Highways Ltd can provide you with a detailed public sewer map that will help you to make the right decision and avoid any unnecessary hassle or expense. We can also carry out all the paperwork to obtain your local authority's approval and divert the public sewer as required.

Sewer adoption

To install a new drainage system on your property, you may have to adopt a new or existing sewer connection. For that, you need to produce your plans and details of your sewers to your local authority and get its approval. This process can be lengthy and complicated without any professional assistance. 

Sewers & Highways Ltd can fast track your application, obtain the approval quickly, and connect your drains to the main sewer system within the agreed time frame. Contact us for sewer adoption today!
