MOIR ENVIRONMENTAL LIMITED

What MOIR ENVIRONMENTAL LIMITED does

Moir Environmental Limited is a privately held, founder-owned Scottish limited company founded in 2003 by Managing Director Stewart Moir, headquartered in Ayr, southwest Scotland. The company specialises in sustainable drainage solutions for foul sewage waters, urban runoff, and agricultural effluents, with a particular focus on the design and installation of natural and passive drainage systems such as horizontal flow reedbeds, compact vertical flow reedbeds, constructed wetlands, retention and detention ponds, and sustainable urban drainage system (SUDS) components. Service coverage spans Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Northern England.

The company operates an integrated five-stage service model: consultancy (feasibility studies, drainage appraisals, land and soil assessments, planning advice), design (AutoCAD specifications, percolation testing, regulatory licence applications to SEPA and the Environment Agency), supply (pre-fabricated soakaway bundles, LDPE liners, reeds, water storage tanks, submersible pumps), installation (tender administration, project management, contractor liaison, commissioning), and ongoing maintenance and facilities management. It serves six target segments: property developers and builders, homeowners in non-sewered areas, farmers and landowners, architects and engineers, environmental agencies and water authorities, and commercial and leisure developments. Pricing is project-based and quote-only, with no disclosed rate cards.

The business model is sales-led and direct, with no intermediary channels. Revenue is generated from professional services (consultancy, design), project-based hardware supply and installation, and a recurring maintenance and servicing arm. The firm is accredited by British Water and the Constructed Wetland Association, with Stewart Moir holding British Water Accredited Service Engineer status, and is an accredited installer for Premier Aqua Tech and GRAF products. Moir Environmental is a small, founder-dependent regional environmental services firm with no disclosed subsidiaries, no institutional investors, and no external funding.
