Currently there are no specific regulations yet that govern rainwater harvesting as such, although Building Regulations Part H affect siting of the tank and pipe runs, while Part G refers to internal plumbing.

Despite this, Rainwater Harvesting is rapidly becoming accepted as a desirable feature of sustainable buildings Rainwater harvesting systems need to be designed to meet the individual needs of the user, and it's important to consider design issues at an early stage. We offer a comprehensive design and advisory service on rainwater harvesting to ensure water saving opportunities are maximised for each building.

Water meters are becoming more and more prevalent with planning authorities starting to insist on their installation on all new builds and even where properties are extended! Rainwater harvesting can provide an excellent way to save on your water bills.

Rainwater harvesting also helps meet planning consent for developments by controlling stormwater discharge to the mains, and thus helps reduce the flood risk of storm water runoff from hard surface developments.
