MuckStopper: BlueJay Highlights New Acquisition

BlueJay’s acquisition of MuckStopper widens the accessibility of these cutting-edge products that prevent blocked drains, save costs and enhance site safety.

BlueJay Solutions Ltd has acquired the MuckStopper® brand and its full product range from Drainfast Ltd, marking a significant step forward in the availability of these pioneering drainage protection systems. Already trusted by leading UK housing developers such as Thakeham, Barratt Developments and Gleeson Homes, MuckStopper® products are designed to tackle the common yet costly problem of blockages during construction.

This acquisition enables the brand’s products to be accessed from an expanded network of resellers, enabling more contractors and developers to protect drainage systems while saving time and resources on maintenance.

MuckStopper® Roads and Sewers System: The Core Offering

The MuckStopper® Roads and Sewers System is tailored to meet the demands of road gullies and manholes during construction. Its innovative design protects drainage systems while ensuring ease of use and compatibility with existing setups.

Gully Silt Traps: MuckStopper RS-400 and RS-400 Lite

Both the MuckStopper RS-400 and RS-400 Lite are removable silt trap buckets designed to prevent silt and debris from entering road gullies. They act as a first line of defence, capturing the majority of debris at source.

  • MuckStopper RS-400

Made of galvanised steel, this is the more robust option. It measures 320mm x 975mm x 295mm and weighs 10kg, with a lifting capacity of 100kg. Its durable build ensures it withstands heavy-duty use on large-scale projects.

  • MuckStopper RS-400 Lite

Constructed from aluminium, this lightweight alternative measures 244mm x 244mm x 400mm and weighs just 1.26kg, with a full weight of 20kg when filled. Its compact size and reduced weight make it ideal for smaller or less demanding sites, offering similar benefits in a more portable form.

Both products are compatible with any road gully and feature removable silt buckets for easy maintenance. Being lighter, the basket of the RS-400 Lite can be removed manually or by machine, whereas the RS-400 requires a machine lift.

Manhole Protection Units: MuckStopper RS-675 and RS-1220

For manholes, the MuckStopper RS-675 and RS-1220 provide reliable barriers against silt ingress, with removable lids for chamber access. These units are compatible with any brand of manhole cover and frame and are designed for pedestrian-loading environments.

  • MuckStopper RS-675

Suitable for 600mm and 675mm manholes, this system measures 800mm x 800mm and weighs 10.1kg. Its compact design ensures seamless integration on busy sites.

  • MuckStopper RS-1220

Designed for larger 1220mm x 675mm manholes, this version measures 1405mm x 800mm and weighs 18.6kg. It features a central divider that can be removed for easier access, offering added versatility for larger-scale applications.
