Services
Drain Clearance
We specialise in clearing blocked drains using manual rods and non-invasive techniques. Our engineers diagnose blockages caused by debris, tree roots, or misaligned pipes. Domestic clearances start at 85 + VAT with a 14-day guarantee against recurring issues.
CCTV Drain Surveys
Our high-resolution camera equipment identifies cracks, collapses, or vermin infestations in underground drains. This non-destructive method provides detailed footage and reports for pre-purchase property assessments or recurring blockage diagnostics.
Pre-Purchase Surveys
We conduct thorough drain inspections for homebuyers, highlighting hidden issues like collapsed pipes or tree root damage. Our reports help negotiate property prices and prevent costly post-purchase surprises.
High-Pressure Jetting
Used selectively for stubborn blockages, our jetting equipment clears debris without damaging modern pipework. We avoid this method for older pitch fibre pipes to prevent accidental damage during routine maintenance.
Vermin Infestation Checks
Our camera surveys identify rat or vermin entry points through drainage systems. We provide solutions to seal access points and prevent recurring infestations while ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.
