Sewer Connections in Blackburn, Ribble Valley, Lancashire and the North West

Blades Developments (NW) Ltd is a trusted company consisting of time-served groundwork contractors and hard landscapers. In a sector where surfacing and drainage go hand in hand, it is imperative for our team to have experience in mains sewer connections. Surface water and foul drainage must have a runoff point, otherwise it could lead to issues with pooled water and, worse still, unsanitary living conditions.

Our contactors can connect to sewer systems in all locations across Lancashire and the North West, including the Blackburn, Ribble Valley and Preston areas, in line with local authority legislation and the requirements of appointed utility companies.

We also install soakaways, manage drainage installations and the groundworks for a range of domestic, commercial and industrial projects.

Our company can assist with:

  • Communications with Local Authorities

  • Mains Sewer Connections

  • Applications for Relevant Licences

  • Street Works Licensing

  • Traffic Management During Works

  • Provision of Qualified Contractors

Avoid standing water issues and waste blockages by choosing Blades Developments (NW) Ltd for drainage installations, mains sewer connections and the installation of soakaways. We are available to help private customers, businesses, builders, developers, main contractors, local authorities and landowners who require a more ethical standard of drainage service.

We help customers and clients in Ribble Valley, Blackburn, Preston and the surrounding areas by applying for the required approvals and licences in advance of the project, handling everything from street closures to parking bay suspensions. Because we have plant available to enable site operations, Blades Developments (NW) Ltd can also manage clearance of the site, excavation work, land preparation, sewer connections for surface water and foul drainage, backfilling and drainage reinstatement.

Installations and Connections

Typically, we find our customers need this type of service when building on new land or having an installation added to an existing property where there is no way of connecting to the mains system, or when a wastewater connection is needed. Even rural homes outside of bigger areas like Blackburn and Preston are now in need of our drainage and groundwork contractors because some cesspits, septic tanks and sewage treatment plants no longer tie in with current legislation.

Most sewer connections are made beneath a road so contractors must have the required Section 50 licence. To obtain licences, the applicant must have at least two contractors with NRSWA licences and appropriate levels of public liability insurance. 

Connecting to a public sewer needs a Section 106 licence.

Methods used to make a sewer connection can include the use of a junction insertion or, if this isn’t possible, contractors may need to build a new manhole. This comes at considerable expense to the project because of the time and labour needed.

Whichever option Blades Developments (NW) Ltd ends up using, we promise to work ethically, legally and considerately to not only minimise disruption to our own customers and clients, but to also reduce inconvenience to other contractors, motorists and the public. Our groundwork contractors always work to detailed plans which have been approved by local authorities in Ribble Valley, Blackburn, Preston or any other location in Lancashire or the North West.
