Underground Drainage delivery in Stranraer

Underground drainage is the system of plastic pipes, bends, junctions and inspection chambers that carries foul and surface water away from a building, most often in 110 mm PVC-U pipe.

Trades and homeowners in Stranraer can order drainage for delivery by sending a list, a drawing or just the sizes of the job.

Getting the right drainage
