Effective Section 50 Applications in Brighton
If you are about to have work carried out on drains or sewers that run under a public highway, you need to have a full Section 50 application. At South East Drainage, we are one of the few Brighton and Sussex companies that will take care of the entire application process for you.
Before any drainage connection or installation work can be undertaken, a full Section 50 licence is needed to install sewage pipes or operate equipment under the public highway.
Making a sewer connection or installing new drainage systems often requires digging up paths, roads and kerbs to access the mains system, and of course, the sewage pipes will stay in place forever under an indefinite Section 50 licence. In fact, it is the same paperwork used for electricity, gas and water services.
Alongside this, a Section 106 licence is also required, a more specialist piece of paperwork for making connections to mains sewers. Just like the Section 50 applications, we take care of all the paperwork, including method statements and risk assessments for the complete project.
So call us today on 01634 311799 to discuss your drainage connection plans and Section 50 applications with one of our experienced and friendly team.


Everything taken care of for you
We designed our drain connection and installation services to be extensive packages of works. For some Brighton and Sussex drainage companies that just means simply digging a hole, doing the job and then just filling it back in again. At South East Drainage, we believe in delivering to the highest possible safety and quality standards, making good landscaping, disturbed paths and roadways, but also taking care of everything at the front end of the process, including the Section 50 applications.
Local councils in Brighton and Sussex issue the licence for an administrative fee and with over two decades of experience in drainage and water supply services, we have long-standing and close relationships with local water boards, authorities and water companies, which ensures everything runs smoothly and quickly.
As an additional service extra, we also specialise in looking after all on-site inspections and liaison with these organisations, ensuring that every part of the installation meets building and safety regulations and standards so that it is approved for mains sewer connection.
We pride ourselves on delivering high quality work for Brighton clients, whether they are rural homeowners or large building contractors, and taking care of all the paperwork means that we are able to deliver the very best all-round customer service experience.
Our team and company are fully qualified and certified to undertake works on and around the public highway, with NRSWA certification as standard across all engineers. We are also CITB, Rated People and SafeContractor accredited..
