Services
Blocked Drains
Our specialists resolve domestic and commercial drainage blockages using high-pressure water jetting and advanced techniques. With 24/7 emergency availability, we address urgent issues like overflowing manholes and sewer backups. Our engineers combine traditional skills with modern technology to identify root causes and implement lasting solutions, minimising disruption to properties and operations.
Pipe Relining
We offer non-invasive pipe rehabilitation for damaged drainage systems using cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) technology. This method creates a durable 'pipe within a pipe' solution for diameters 100-600mm, avoiding excavation requirements. Ideal for commercial properties and infrastructure projects, our relining process restores structural integrity at a fraction of replacement costs while maintaining environmental compliance.
Drain Excavation
When physical access is required, our team conducts controlled excavations following comprehensive safety assessments. We address severe damage from erosion, subsidence, or root intrusion while protecting surrounding infrastructure. Using modern equipment and traditional expertise, we complete repairs with minimal disruption, restoring sites to original condition using environmentally responsible waste disposal methods.
Waste Management
We provide comprehensive waste handling solutions including septic tank emptying, sewage disposal, and oily water treatment. Our licensed engineers manage both routine maintenance and emergency situations across domestic and commercial sectors. With modern vacuumation equipment and regulatory compliance expertise, we ensure safe, environmentally sound waste processing and system upgrades.
Drain Surveys
Our high-resolution CCTV surveys accurately diagnose drainage issues without unnecessary excavation. Using miniature camera systems, we identify blockages, cracks, and structural weaknesses in pipework up to 600mm diameter. This technology enables precise problem mapping and informs cost-effective repair strategies, supporting both emergency interventions and preventative maintenance planning for commercial clients.
