any views on quality of floplast v polypipe v marley?  Both floplast and polypipe seem readily available, marley less so. Once I get pipe out of the ground and into the stack, branches, etc is the quality the same for each company?

 

cheers yall

Floplast fittings can be a bit brittle and the ring seals a bit tight but I prefer Brett Martin if I can get it. Osma and Polypipe are much the same.

I've had pipe that is half the weight of other pipe and sent it back so be careful. Think you're ok with any main manufacturer but be careful of independents selling super cheap gear compare it to decent stuff

I've no problem using plastic above ground - any of the main brands - but have never used anything other than Hepworth SuperSleve clayware underground. It will cost more, but it's inherently more robust.

I'll be decommissioning my septic system and running in to a mixed system sewer at a manhole on the edge of my property. I've only ever used plastic drainage in the past but tempted to use clay since it's my own home and we're not moving again, unless its when we get very old and downsize. The actual pipework price looks to be around 60-70% more expensive when the lengths of 1.6m are considered. However, any fittings are extremely expensive. I've still got a few weeks to mull it over. I've got a natural tendency to gold plate my work and so double bluffing myself which is irritating.
