Drainage Groundworks in Chorley
New foul and surface water drainage, soakaways, rainwater systems and mains connections — fully Building Regs compliant.
New drainage in Chorley — whether it's a single gully for an extension, a soakaway for a garden room, or a full Section 106 connection on a new build — needs to be designed properly first time. Stone-built cottages around the town centre and Astley Village, large estates in Buckshaw Village, and rural farms across the western parishes. We design, install and test to Building Regs Part H and BS EN 752, with as-built drawings supplied for the file.

What's specific to drain installation in Chorley
Postcodes covered: PR6, PR7 · typical response 25–35 mins
Design fit: Buckshaw Village homeowners on adopted-but-young systems, plus rural properties with off-mains drainage near Heath Charnock and Rivington. — most of our installs in PR6 are sized for those use cases rather than over-engineered.
Building Regs and water authority: where work in Chorley needs build-over consent or a Section 106 connection, we handle the application and liaison rather than leaving it on you.
Local ground conditions: Septic tanks and treatment plants are common in the rural parishes — we get a lot of soakaway failure work in winter. Buckshaw Village's adopted estates show typical new-build defects: silt-up at first manholes and builders' debris in long runs. — these affect bedding, soakaway design and gully placement, and we plan around them at the design stage.

FAQs — Drain Installation in Chorley
Do you do small jobs as well as big projects?
Yes. A single new gully or a 5-metre run for an extension is just as important to the property owner as a 200-metre commercial install. We quote both honestly.
Do you handle Building Regs and water authority sign-off?
Yes — including build-over agreements, Section 106 connections to the public sewer and Section 104 adoption surveys for developers. We work with United Utilities regularly.
Do you actually cover Chorley?
Yes — Chorley is part of our core coverage, including PR6, PR7 and surrounding areas like Adlington, Coppull, Euxton. We hold the keys for several Buckshaw Village estate management groups for after-hours access.
