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.
