Blockages

Our Service Engineers are fully qualified and highly trained professionals and have been working with London’s sewers for many years; their invaluable experience will help to determine the cause of the problem without delay and to deal with it in the most efficient way. You will be advised on possible causes of the blockage whether internal or external and what would or could be done to deal with bad smells or other potential problems and how to avoid these in future. Blockage clearances in most cases are dealt with within the hour and our engineers will do everything in their hands to make it so, provided that it doesn’t compromise the health or safety of your property or environment and that reasonably easy access is available*. Any works requiring more than an hour will not be undertaken until the client is first advised.

Drain and Sewer Cleaning (Jet Cleaning)

One of the surest ways to maintain a free flowing and odour free drain is to have your drainage and sewer pipes cleaned with our environmentally friendly jetting systems.
High pressure water is used to thoroughly clean pipes of differing materials and sizes. One of the biggest problems in London’s sewers is kitchen fat and grease which is poured into the sewers. The sewer pipes act much like the arteries in our bodies which when abused with junk food begin clogging up causing heart related problems, sewer pipes are much the same thing and when abused, the walls of the pipes eventually get smaller until nothing can pass through them. Fortunately for your drains, this can be resolved with a high pressure jet clean which will leave your drain as good as new. Even though a jet clean can take several hours, depending on the length and size of the pipes and whether the cause of the problem, silt, fat and grease, roots etc, the end result will be years of trouble free maintenance. Sewers need to be looked after, in the same way that your body also needs to be. Ignoring the problem will not make it go away and in the long run you could potentially be creating a bigger and more expensive problem as frequently recurring blockages will occur. If this is the case with your drain then a jet clean could be exactly what your sewer needs. See our prices for jet cleaning.
We highly recommend this after a blockage, our engineers will best advise you while on site.

CCTV Surveys

One of the greatest inventions in recent years has been the development of closed circuit televisions. We have all seen in the media those tiny cameras they use to probe and investigate the inside of our bodies. In the drainage business these developments have also spurred on better and more efficient ways of investigating sewer pipes.
Robot cameras with special lighting technology are used to probe drains and sewers.
The development of such technology has for many been a great relief financially as these can identify where exactly problems such as collapsed sewer pipes and tree roots lie so as to enable an excavation or relining, or to establish the recurring cause of the blockage. This enables a much more cost effective and efficient way of dealing with this threat and if excavation is required to replace or repair a pipe, then this can be pinpointed to the exact place saving time and money.
If our engineers while on site suspect a problem with your drain, they will best advise you on how to proceed.

Excavations & Repairs

Drain excavations and repairs can vary significantly.
Drains and sewers may crack due to ground movement, subsidence, tree root infiltration, or corrosion - or they may totally collapse. The result is a structurally defective drain causing repeat blockages or leaks into the surrounding soil.
There is no one way of dealing with these types of problems. One of our qualified personnel would need to inspect the place in question to determine what is required. After having taken into consideration all the factors, i.e. permits, equipment, staff, etc. he would then be able to provide you with an estimate and all other relevant information.
See contact to arrange appointment.

All excavation work is carried out by qualified personnel who have been trained to meet the latest legislation and comply with all Health & Safety regulations.

*In most cases a blocked drain can be cleared within the hour, of course this is dependant on a variety of factors such as ease of access and location among others, if a manhole cover or inspection chamber needs to be located because at some point in time it was interred or one was never built as is sometimes the case, then this can result in time and money lost by both the service engineer on site and the client.
