"To quote this job firstly I would consider where is your other rain water going to from the property? Is it possible to connect to an existing drain ? If this is not possible have you calculated the size of soak-away for the amount of water it will be taking correctly?

As a rough estimate For 10m of pipe and a 2cell soak-away the price would be approximately £2500/£3000"

"Hi sandy

Ben here at Flux Serwer ltd. you would be looking around £2-3k mark but I would recommend a site visit first to see what your best options would be as there could be other options . an existing soakaway if big enough could be connected or expanded to facilitate the extra load., this could work out cheaper. then a new soakaway. we would first need to calculate the area and conduct a ground percolation test to check adequate ground drainage. if there is a nearby surface drain or combined line nearby we could possibly connect to this.

kind regards
Ben"
