Clark-Drain was formerly known as Clarksteel Ltd. We were founded in 1963 by Francis Clark and his wife Dorothy who were looking to buy a manhole cover. At that time they were quoted a 12 to 18 month delivery time! So instead of waiting, they set about making a cover by themselves. In fact, that first cover set new industry standards as it was made from steel rather than the usual cast iron. Sadly, Francis passed away in 1998 and Dorothy in 2014, but family members continue to play key roles in the business.

At Clark-Drain we continue to invest in our technology and people here in the UK and worldwide as both our national and international business continues to expand. Even though we have become much larger, we still retain our traditional values – meeting our customer needs by being highly innovative, not compromising on quality and being focused on giving customers the best possible service.
