Hi,
A big fan of this site.
I have been looking at the drainage section and cannot seem to find an answer.
I have just built an extension on the house and I will be installing a new soakaway to connect the new gutter down pipes to.
This will be completely separate from the foul water system.
I have got cast iron effect down pipes and shoes so I was going to use a grill underneath each shoe. My question is should I use a bottle gully or some other kind of trap? I have read you should use it on a combined system but are there other reasons for using it in my case.
Thanks
Rainwater drainage

Just another question if you do not mind.
My pipe layout will be fairly simple.
The first down pipe and the second are in line about 3 m apart. On the same straight line I was planning to put an inspection chamber in to join in a third down pipe at 45 degrees and then on from the IC to the soakaway. Would using the roddable access drains mean I do not need to put another IC where the second down pipe joins?
Not sure if this makes sense I could draw it if necessary
