Civils

Jackson offers a complete range of products from a variety of specialist manufacturers for all types of drainage requirements, including plastic and clay piping, bends, angles, inspection chambers, adapters for joining different types of piping, and much more.

Foul Water and Surface Drainage

Jackson stocks Polypipe’s comprehensive range of plastic components, available in 110mm, 160mm, 200mm, 250mm and 315mm sizes, covering all domestic, commercial and industrial requirements for both foul water and surface water drainage up to main sewer.

The Polypipe range offers the installer a choice of connectors to adapt to existing materials. Coupling to thick or thin wall vitrified clay pipes, glazed vitrified clay (GVC) or cast iron is made possible using the appropriate connector. To overcome the most difficult drainage connection, products are available manufactured in either PVC-U, polypropylene or flexible (EPDM) material.

Rainwater, Waste Water and Sewage Treatment Systems

If your property is not connected to the municipal sewage system you will need to consider installing your own treatment facilities. Jackson offer a complete range of solutions from leading companies in the field such as Kingspan Environmental.
Many improvements have been made in recent years to traditional 'septic tanks', and modern systems are now easy to install. Complete waste treatment applications for both domestic grey water and sewage are also available and these are worth considering for environmental reasons.

Radon Sumps and Radon Protection

Certain areas of the UK have been identified as being radon affected. Many councils now insist on the installation of anti-radon measures, even in areas where the problem is minimal. This usually involves the installation of a Radon Sump, which is a simple chamber 600mm x 600mm constructed beneath the floor slab. There are also preformed plastic chambers available for this purpose. The sump is is piped to a point outside the building using standard 110mm PVC-u piping, and this is usually done at the same time as the drainage and sewage works.

In some areas special radon resistant membranes are specified for additional protection. Special membranes, which also act as the damp proofing are available for this purpose.
Your council planning department and/or building inspectors will be able to advise you on any local building requirements for Radon. The protection measures are quite simple to install and many council websites contain basic information about this.
