FAQS

Common questions.

Do I need a SuDS scheme for my Nottingham development?+

Yes — any major development in Nottingham must include a sustainable drainage strategy approved by the LLFA. We design and submit the scheme as part of the planning application.

What's the difference between Section 104 and Section 106?+

Section 104 covers adoption of new sewers by the water company (Severn Trent in Nottingham); Section 106 covers connection to an existing public sewer. We handle both.

Can you install a septic system or treatment plant?+

Yes — for properties off-mains in rural Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. We size the system, secure EA discharge consent if required, and install to current British Water standards.

Do you survey existing drainage?+

Yes — CCTV drainage surveys, dye testing and condition reports across Nottingham, with WinCan-compatible reporting for property due diligence.

How long does a drainage installation take?+

A typical residential development drainage package runs 6–12 weeks depending on plot count and ground conditions. Single connections can be completed in 1–2 weeks.
