Gully grates

Gully grates, also known as gully gratings, are used to cover drainage openings and allow surface water to flow into underground systems. Builders install them in paved areas, like pathways and patios, as well as places like driveways, to stop water pooling and protect drainage inlets from getting clogged.

Most modern grates are made from ductile iron, galvanised steel or plastic, depending on what’s needed. The grating type you choose will be based on factors like potential traffic and wear and tear. D400 gully gratings are typically specified for carriageways and roads with heavy vehicle traffic. These are set in concrete or asphalt to form part of the road’s drainage. On domestic and light commercial jobs, lighter-duty gratings may be used around driveways or landscaped areas. You’ll also find gully grates specified in utility rooms, kerbs, and beneath downpipes to manage runoff.
