Overview

Section 104 adoption works

A Section 104 agreement provides a route for a sewerage company to adopt qualifying sewerage infrastructure constructed by a developer or self-lay provider. The agreement, approved drawings, current sector guidance and any site-specific conditions control what must be built, tested, recorded and handed over.

What S104 drainage work can include

S104 drainage work can cover the adoptable sewer network serving a development, including foul and surface water pipework, manholes, lateral drains, pumping stations and rising mains where these form part of the approved scheme. The exact adoptable assets and responsibilities come from the agreement and approved design, so we review those documents before defining the construction or close-out scope.

What to send for a useful review

Send the site postcode, approved drainage drawings, drainage strategy, current Section 104 documents, sewerage company comments, inspection records, programme and any known construction changes. This lets the delivery scope be separated from design, legal or approval items that remain with the relevant professional or authority.

Questions

Common questions

What is a Section 104 agreement?

A Section 104 agreement is the route by which a sewerage company may adopt qualifying sewerage infrastructure built by a developer or self-lay provider. The approved agreement, drawings and site-specific conditions determine what must be constructed, tested, recorded and handed over. It is usually a development/adoption route; if you are dealing with a private or unadopted sewer at an existing property, first confirm ownership with the sewerage company and take legal advice where responsibility is unclear.

Do you work directly for developers?

Yes. We can support developers, builders, groundworkers, civil engineering contractors and landowners with S104-related works.

Can you price from approved drawings?

Yes. Approved drawings and consent information are usually the best starting point. A site visit may still be needed before the final scope is confirmed.

Can you help where adoption needs further support?

Yes. We can review the current position and assist with practical remedial works, testing, CCTV and handover information.
