Sewer Connections
We offer sewer connections in the UK that you can rely on. Our fantastic drainage engineers can provide you with a flawless link between the external sewer system and your property’s surface water drainpipe.
Connecting into a sewer this way will ensure that waste or surface water will be channelled away from your property in a safe and effective way.
There are specific laws in place when connecting into a sewer to make sure the sewage system isn’t damaged, this is why it’s so crucial to use reputable sewer connection contractors North West like ourselves at Quinn Developments NW Ltd.
In the UK, many properties rely on private systems to remove wastewater, however, these properties may benefit from establishing new sewer connections. One of the great advantages of direct sewer connections are that they’re far less prone to clogging than septic systems and they don’t need regularly pumping to remain effective.
If you’re looking at connecting to public sewers from your property’s drains, you’ll most likely have the right to do so. However, you’ll need to make a formal application to your local authority when connecting into a sewer.
Within your application, you must include the location of your nearest sewer to connect to, the different types of sewer connections you may need, the contractor you have in mind to carry out these sewer connections, permissions to cross third party land (if required), and whether or not you’re planning on having the project completed in the next 6 months.
Whether you’re applying for indirect or direct sewer connections, you’ll need an application form featuring the above information as well as a location plan displaying the boundaries of existing properties and the proposed sewer route, evidence showing why soakaways can’t be used, and an approval fee.
Our admin team conduct all local authority applications on your behalf, including permits to excavate the land and Highway Licenses.
Our proven track record of successfully installing water drainage systems, sewer connections and pumping stations, means we have the necessary skills and experience to deliver effective road and sewer infrastructures across a vast array of sectors.
We’ll be happy to discuss your specific requirements further with you and provide a bespoke quote. Call us on 0151 345 6551 to begin the project.
Sewer Connection Installation
When we look at domestic property’s, they’re most commonly connected by a foul sewer (connection of water from sinks, showers, baths, toilets, washing machines, etc) and a surface water sewer (connection of rainwater collected from roof areas or paved areas).
The technique we use when installing your drain to sewer connection largely depends on the infrastructure of the building in question. Direct sewer connections can be made to the public sewer by four primary methods; these are dependent on the size of the sewer and other individual circumstances.
These different types of sewer connections are saddle connection, junction insertion, construction of a new manhole, and connection to an existing manhole. Saddle connections are usually only permitted on existing concrete or brick sewers. The hole for the saddle is core drilled, then fixed to the existing sewer pipe.
A junction insertion is typically used for connecting a maximum of three properties to sewers of 300mm diameter or less; the inserted junction is joined to the existing sewer using flexible couplings. Manhole connections have specific guidelines, whether you’re connecting to a new or existing manhole; all guidelines must be adhered to.
We’re able to offer a deep sewer renovation service where our engineer employs a thorough 360-degree CCTV inspection of the inner section of the sewer. This gives us the advantage of discovering common sewer problems such as structural defects or wall collapse in advance.
Of course, we still conduct man-entry surveys where required, although for the majority, our fantastic CCTV equipment gives us a more than sufficient survey. We can compile a report using the latest WinCam software based on this CCTV footage which allows us to carry out sewer renovations much less intrusively than they once were.
The cost of connecting to main sewer can vary as they’re so many variables involved in the project.
With a number of techniques for sewer connections to choose from, we’ll ensure that the most appropriate and most effective method is used for your project, considering the area’s existing infrastructure and any planned property development.

The difference between a direct and an indirect connection is that a direct connection is any connection made to any public sewer. However, an indirect connection is a connection to a private drain that goes into a public sewer.
Before connecting to a public sewer, you do need to gain written permission. This can be done by completing a section 106 licence. If the sewer links works would be carried out on public roads or footpaths, you would also need a street works licence from your local council.
