A concrete surround is usually bedded level on mortar, then the uPVC gully grid is positioned within the opening. Once set, paving or gravel is laid up to the edges for a clean finish.
Concrete Surrounds and Water Channels for Everyday Drainage
Concrete gully surrounds in this range are designed to sit neatly around uPVC drainage points on patios, paths and driveways, helping prevent leaves, soil and other debris from entering the system. Their rigid concrete profile supports the gully top and keeps the surrounding surface tidy, particularly where paving or gravel meets a vertical gully grid. Alongside these surrounds, the category also includes Concrete Water Channels, which provide shallow surface run‑off routes that guide water towards a drain point or threshold.
Where underground connections are present, the concrete surround helps keep the gully area clear so that Sewer Pipes remain unobstructed during periods of heavy rain. The open channels in this category also integrate well with nearby Land Drain runs, supporting water movement from paved surfaces to softer ground without allowing soil migration.
Concrete Gully Surrounds FAQ's
Yes. Even a shallow fall helps guide water towards the gully, especially on patios or paths. Channels can be cut to length and aligned so that runoff naturally enters the drainage point.
They can. A short run of Line Drainage can capture water across wider areas and direct it towards the concrete seated gully for final discharge, keeping debris out of the system.
Yes. By creating a firm edge around the gully grid, debris is less likely to fall in from surrounding ground, helping protect downstream pipework such as Sewer Pipe & Fittings.
Concrete surrounds give a stable border that prevents gravel washing into the drain opening. The grid remains exposed for access while the surround keeps loose material away.
