Our above-ground pipes are manufactured from durable uPVC, a material trusted by professionals across the UK. We produce and supply both push-fit and solvent-weld pipes, each designed to deliver reliable performance within your drainage system.

Push Fit Pipes: Push fit pipes are fitted with a rubber ring seal joints, easy installation, slightly more flexible, good for DIY

Above Ground Drain FAQs

What is Above Ground Drainage?

Above ground drainage is the system of pipes and fittings that are designed to collect and carry rainwater away from a property, directing it underground. A well installed above ground drain system will ensure that water flows safely from your roof and gutters, preventing the risk of flooding, damp and damage.

What Types of Above Ground Drainage Products Are Available?

We stock a broad range of above ground drainage products including solvent weld pipes, push fit waste pipes and a range of fittings. These are all available in multiple sizes and colours to suit residential, commercial and industrial properties.

What Materials Are Above Ground Drainage Systems Made From?

Like all of the products we manufacture here at The Plastic Centre, all of our above ground drain pipes are made using high quality, durable and long lasting uPVC.

Can I Install Above Ground Drainage Myself?

Yes, some of our pipes are manufactured with push fit joints, making them straightforward to install. However, solvent weld pipes require experience and knowledge to ensure they are fitted correctly. If you have not installed this type of pipe before, we strongly recommend hiring a professional to avoid potential issues.

What Do I Need to Do to Maintain My Gutters
