Drainfast is pleased to announce a major expansion of its delivery network with the opening of a new depot in Doncaster, scheduled to go live from the start of February.
“Drainfast has grown by doing the basics exceptionally well. Reliable stock, next-day delivery you can trust, and a team that puts customers first every time. Opening a fourth depot in Doncaster is a natural next step for us as we build on our strong base of long-standing customers in London, the South East and the Midlands.” - Trevor James, Managing Director, Drainfast
This strategically located depot will significantly extend our reach across the North of England, allowing us to better support civils and groundworks contractors throughout Yorkshire and Lancashire, including major construction hubs such as Doncaster, Sheffield, Leeds, Hull, York, Bradford, Manchester, Liverpool and Preston.
“We chose Doncaster very deliberately. Its proximity to the A1 and M62 gives us excellent access across Yorkshire and Lancashire, allowing us to support sites in cities like Leeds, Sheffield, Manchester, Liverpool, Hull and York with the same market-leading service we’re known for elsewhere.” - Trevor James, Managing Director, Drainfast

The Doncaster depot represents an important next step in Drainfast’s continued growth and commitment to improving service levels for customers nationwide.
Once operational, the new depot will enable:
Customers in these regions will benefit from the same service Drainfast is known for elsewhere in the UK, including next-day delivery on orders placed by 5pm.
“Contractors don’t want excuses; they want deliveries that turn up on time and in full. Our order-by-5pm, next-day delivery promise is still genuinely market-leading, and bringing that level of service to Yorkshire and Lancashire is incredibly exciting.” - Luke Siderfin, Area Sales Manager, Drainfast

While the Doncaster depot is a new addition, Drainfast is a well-established name in the industry.
“Although the Doncaster depot is new, the Drainfast way of working isn’t. We’re a specialist plastic drainage merchant, we know our products inside out, and we understand the pressures of live sites. The goal is simple: make life easier for customers and become a trusted long-term partner in the region.” - Luke Siderfin, Area Sales Manager, Drainfast
Founded in 2003, we have over 20 years’ experience supplying underground drainage and associated products to civils and groundworks contractors across the UK.
We are trusted by leading construction businesses for our straightforward approach, dependable delivery performance and strong stockholding.
This expansion allows us to bring those same service standards closer to contractors working across Yorkshire and Lancashire, supported by a local depot and an experienced team who understand the pressures of tight programmes and changing site requirements.
“Contractors don’t want excuses; they want deliveries that turn up on time and in full. Our order-by-5pm, next-day delivery promise is still genuinely market-leading,and bringing that level of service to Yorkshire and Lancashire is incredibly exciting.” - Luke Siderfin, Area Sales Manager, Drainfast
