We supply a range of drainage products including channel drains, plastic and galvanised steel drainage channels, resin channel drainage, threshold drains, linear stainless steel drainage systems, recessed manhole covers, underground drainage products and drainage accessories.

The right channel drain depends on where it will be installed, the expected water flow, dimensions, connection requirements and the load it needs to withstand.

Always check the specification and stated load classification of the individual product before purchasing. If you are unsure, contact our team before ordering.

Check the required opening size, overall dimensions, depth, material, finish and load requirements. Budget Drains offers aluminium alloy, stainless steel and stainless steel screeding manhole covers.

Please don't choose a product based on appearance alone. The product specification and load rating must be appropriate for the intended installation.

We aim to provide accurate dimensions and specifications on each product page. Because drainage products often need to fit an existing opening or installation, we strongly recommend checking all dimensions carefully before ordering.
