Drains and sewers

Complying with Building Regulations (Part H)

Are you planning to construct an extension or undertake modifications to your property? If so, you will need to guarantee that your building work adheres to the Building Regulations, particularly Approved Document H, which specifically governs drainage and the proper disposal of waste materials.

This vital document, known as Approved Document H, provides comprehensive guidance on fulfilling the legal obligations for various types of drainage systems. It details everything from the initial planning stages and correct installation procedures to the ongoing upkeep. This encompasses both foul water drainage, which carries effluent from toilets, sinks, and baths, and surface water drainage, responsible for managing rainwater runoff.

Your appointed builder will rely on this document for all the necessary technical specifications and expert recommendations.
