Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our professional sewer connection services in Wokingham and Berkshire, from the initial application to the final installation.

Considering a New Sewer Connection? Here's What You Need to Know

+

Connecting your property to the main public sewer might seem like a big job, but it’s often essential for new builds, extensions, or when you’re moving away from a septic tank. We handle the whole process, making it as straightforward as possible for you.

Why Would My Home Need a New Public Sewer Link?

+

Most commonly, homeowners need a new sewer connection for a new property, an extension that changes your existing drainage, or if you’re upgrading from an old septic tank system. Sometimes, a severely damaged private sewer pipe might also lead to needing a fresh connection to the main line for better efficiency and less hassle down the road.

What's Involved in Connecting to the Main Sewer System?

+

It’s more than just digging a trench! First, we’ll need to figure out the best route for your new drain pipes and get all the necessary approvals. This always includes getting permission from your local water authority, like Thames Water, and sometimes local council consent too. Once we have the green light, our team digs the trench, lays the pipes, connects them to the public sewer, and then backfills everything neatly. We always aim to keep disruption to your property to a minimum.

Who Deals with the Paperwork for Water Authority Approvals?

+

Dealing with official applications can be a headache, but you don’t have to worry about it. Our experienced team manages all the paperwork and liaison with the local water authority on your behalf. We know the rules and regulations inside out, which helps us get your connection approved efficiently, saving you time and stress.

How Long Does a New Sewer Pipe Connection Usually Take?

+

The timing can vary quite a bit. Getting all the necessary permissions from the water authority often takes the longest, usually several weeks. Once we have approval, the actual physical work of digging, laying pipes, and connecting can often be done in a matter of days, depending on the length and complexity of the run. We’ll give you a clear timescale once we’ve assessed your specific project.

Will My Garden Be Messed Up During the Connection Work?

+

We totally get that you want to keep your garden looking good. Our team always works carefully and responsibly. We use appropriate equipment to dig the trench and always make sure we leave your property tidy once the job's done. While there’s naturally some disruption with any digging work, we put everything back properly, tidying up the site before we leave.

What If I'm Switching from a Septic Tank to the Main Sewer?

+

Many rural properties move from septic tanks to the public sewer for convenience and peace of mind. We handle the entire transition, from safely decommissioning your old septic tank to installing and connecting your new drainage system to the main sewer. We make sure this change happens smoothly, following all environmental guidelines.

How Much Does a Sewer Connection Cost?

+

The cost really depends on a few factors: how far your property is from the main sewer, the ground conditions, and the specific requirements of the water authority. We always offer a free, no-obligation quote after visiting your property and assessing the job. This way, you’ll have a clear price upfront with no hidden surprises.
