Now proudly part of the Vortex Companies, McAllister was founded over five decades ago as an environmental services company, specialising in drain cleaning for both business and residential customers. One of our earliest commercial clients was the Goodyear factory in Lurgan, setting the foundation for what would become an enduring legacy of service and excellence.
From these modest beginnings, McAllister has evolved into an industry leader, delivering a range of high-tech, innovative solutions across multiple sectors. Throughout this journey, our core values — integrity, deliverability, innovation, and customer focus — have remained steadfast.
Today, McAllister employs over 175 highly skilled professionals and operates a fleet of more than 100 vehicles across Ireland and Great Britain. We remain firmly committed to providing high-quality, specialist services with a multi-disciplined workforce at the heart of our operations.
As one of the leading providers of trenchless (No-Dig) services across the UK and Ireland, McAllister offers a comprehensive suite of solutions, including:
• CCTV Surveys, Line and Level Surveys, and Manhole Inspections
• Pipe Cleaning Services
• Tankering and Flow Management
• GPS Mapping
• Gravity and Pressure Pipe Rehabilitation
• Manhole Rehabilitation
• Specialist Civils (excavations, guided augerboring, pipe jacking, directional drilling)
• GRP Segmental Lining
Backed by the enhanced resources of Vortex, we have expanded our service offering to cater to utility, construction, industrial, commercial, and residential markets across Great Britain and Ireland. Despite this growth, our core purpose remains unchanged: delivering the most comprehensive, cost-effective, and innovative repair and rehabilitation solutions available.
As we proudly marked our 50th anniversary in 2021, McAllister continues to move forward with agility, responding to the evolving needs of our clients and the broader market. Our partnership with Vortex is a reaffirmation of our commitment to remaining at the forefront of the industry — driving investment, embracing innovation, taking measured risks, and solving the most complex infrastructure challenges our customers face.
