Rainwater drainage — Drain and sewer service — Professionals
Rainwater leads require a catchment and discharge brief, not just a requested channel length. Providers should identify the existing system and any design or approval input before proposing collection, routing or infiltration arrangements.
Service scope
Collection and conveyance of surface or roof runoff to an appropriate, confirmed discharge arrangement. Within the drainage branch, the focus is downstream routing and surface-water management rather than routine repair of gutter joints alone.
What is normally included
- Surface-water drainage assessment
- Agreed runoff collection and routing
- Coordination with the receiving drainage arrangement
What is not included
- Guaranteed flood prevention
- Assuming discharge to a foul sewer or neighbouring land is permitted
Qualification checks
- Identify contributing surfaces
- Review levels and existing outlets
- Confirm proposed discharge
- Assess maintenance access
- Define performance assumptions
Quote guidance
Separate investigation, collection components, pipework and discharge works. Describe reinstatement and maintenance access, and make clear which rainfall or downstream conditions remain outside the quoted intervention.
Lead risks
- Unknown outlets can prevent a firm design
- A customer may confuse roof-gutter repair with site-drainage work
