We are proud to announce that Polypipe Building Products has been named a winner at the prestigious 2026 Housebuilder Product Awards.

Our innovative B125 Drive Drain took home the top prize for Best External Product, cementing its reputation as a leading solution for modern UK housing developments.

Recognising Excellence in UK Housebuilding

Since their inception in 2013, the Housebuilder Product Awards have become a benchmark for excellence in the construction industry. Managed by Housebuilder Media, these awards celebrate the products and systems that streamline new home development, improve site efficiency, and enhance the quality of the UK’s housing stock.

Winning in the 'Best External Product' category highlights Polypipe Building Product's commitment to providing sustainable, durable, and easy-to-install drainage solutions that meet the rigorous demands of national housebuilders.

Why the B125 Drive Drain is a Game-Changer

The B125 Drive Drain is specifically engineered to balance high performance with aesthetic appeal. As site requirements become more complex, the B125 offers:

  • Superior Load Rating: Designed to withstand the weight of domestic vehicles, making it ideal for driveways and garage thresholds.
  • Ease of Installation: Lightweight yet robust, reducing labour time and onsite costs.
  • Compliance: Meets all necessary UK standards for residential drainage and surface water management.

Celebrating Collective Success

At Polypipe Building Products, we know that delivering high-quality, efficient new builds requires the very best systems. It’s great to see the industry continuing to champion the products that help us all build better.

We would like to extend a huge congratulations to all the winners of the 2026 cohort. We look forward to joining our industry peers in continuing to drive innovation in the UK construction sector.
