Drain cleaning

Drain Cleaning in London

High pressure jetting that cleans the full bore of the pipe, rather than chemicals that clear a channel and leave the deposit behind.

Cleaning and unblocking are not the same job. Cleaning restores the pipe to something close to its original capacity, which is what stops the next blockage forming.

  • No chemicals entering the drainage system
  • Effective on fat, silt, wipes, scale and root matter
  • Safe on sound clay, plastic and cast iron when correctly operated
  • Camera check available afterwards

Why chemicals disappoint

Supermarket drain products soften a channel through a blockage. Water starts moving again, so the problem appears solved, but the deposit is still lining the pipe and catches the next thing that passes.

How often is sensible

For a normal household, only when symptoms appear. For a commercial kitchen, a scheduled clean is far cheaper than an emergency closure. We will suggest an interval based on what the survey shows.

Across the capital

We clean drainage throughout London, from period terraces in the inner boroughs to modern developments with pumped systems, and across Essex from our base in Ilford.
