What do you need to know about drainage installation or repair?

It is difficult to give an average cost for drainage installation. You will be charged based on the materials necessary for the installation, with the cost of features like deep drainage pipes and manholes depending on the lengths required and the depth at which they will be installed. The best thing you can do is to have your property assessed by several different tradesman to get an idea of the cost. Assessments are usually free and can highlight any potential problems for your particular job. With installations it is a good idea to check your local council’s website for information on any necessary planning permission, in case the work will cause boundary disputes or affect drainage that is already in place. Your tradesman should be able to walk you through this stage.

For drainage repair you will incur additional costs if you need work done outside of working hours or on the weekends. Even if time is of the essence there are things you can look out for: is your tradesman part of a national tradesman’s organisation? Can they provide customer reviews and are these reviews positive? As with installation quotes will vary depending on the amount of work required and the costs of any new parts.
