Services
Drain Unblocking
Our drain unblocking service addresses both complete and partial blockages using advanced techniques like jet washing and rodding. We identify obstructions caused by fats, hair, tree roots, or structural damage. Our 24-hour emergency service prevents flooding and property damage while CCTV surveys help identify recurring issues before they escalate.
Lead Pipe Replacement
We specialise in replacing hazardous lead water pipes using moling technology to avoid extensive excavation. This service eliminates health risks from lead contamination, particularly for children and pregnant women, while improving water quality and flow. Most replacements complete within one day with minimal disruption to gardens or driveways.
Water Main Repair
Our water main repair service includes leak detection and pipe replacement for supply pipes on private property. We handle emergency situations to prevent flooding damage using trenchless methods where possible. Our WIAPS-certified engineers ensure compliance with industry standards for both domestic and commercial properties.
Drain Cleaning
Regular drain cleaning prevents blockages through high-pressure jetting and CCTV surveys. We remove build-ups of grime, fats, and debris while identifying potential structural issues. Patch lining repairs allow targeted fixes without full pipe replacement, maintaining system efficiency and reducing future emergency risks.
Moling Installation
Moling enables pipe installation without extensive digging, using soil displacement hammers to create underground tunnels. This method reduces costs, time, and surface disruption for water pipe installations under driveways, gardens, or sensitive areas. Most projects complete in one day with minimal site restoration required.
