Our process begins with a comprehensive site assessment to understand your drainage needs. We then design a customised installation plan, taking into account the layout of your property and any specific challenges it may present. Our skilled technicians use state-of-the-art equipment to install your new drainage system, ensuring minimal disruption and maximum effectiveness.
During the initial consultation, our drainage engineers will conduct a thorough survey of your property, including soil analysis and gradient measurements, to determine the most effective drainage solution. We use advanced surveying equipment including laser levels and GPS technology to ensure precise gradient calculations, which are critical for optimal drainage flow.
Once the installation plan is finalised, our team works efficiently to complete the project with minimal disruption to your daily routine. We carefully excavate trenches to the required depth and gradient, lay the pipework with precision, and backfill using appropriate materials to protect the installation. All connections are thoroughly tested for water-tightness before the site is restored to its original condition.
Following installation, we conduct a full commissioning process that includes water flow testing at all access points, CCTV survey of the completed pipework, and verification of all gradients and connections. This comprehensive testing regime ensures your new drainage system is performing exactly as designed before we hand it over to you.
We also ensure that all necessary building control notifications are made and inspections are arranged at the appropriate stages of the installation. Our team handles all the regulatory requirements on your behalf, making the process as straightforward as possible for you.

Don't just take our word for it - our customers rave about our services! Here's what some of our satisfied customers have to say:

Regular maintenance typically includes drain cleaning, inspections using CCTV technology, identifying potential issues, and implementing preventive measures to keep your drainage system in optimal condition. Our comprehensive maintenance service covers all aspects of your drainage system, from surface-level gullies and inspection chambers through to main sewer connections.
Our maintenance engineers carry out a systematic inspection of your entire drainage system, checking for signs of wear, damage, or deterioration. We clean all gullies and traps, flush through all drain runs using high-pressure water jetting, and inspect key areas using CCTV cameras. Any issues identified during the maintenance visit are documented in your report, along with prioritised recommendations for remedial action. This proactive approach helps prevent costly emergency repairs and extends the operational life of your drainage system significantly.
The frequency of drainage maintenance can vary depending on the usage and the type of property. Generally, we recommend a professional inspection and cleaning at least once a year. Properties with mature trees nearby, older drainage systems, or high-usage commercial premises may benefit from more frequent servicing to prevent problems before they occur.
For residential properties with standard drainage systems, annual maintenance is usually sufficient to keep everything running smoothly. However, if your property is surrounded by trees, particularly species with aggressive root systems such as willows, poplars, or oaks, you may benefit from six-monthly inspections. Commercial properties, restaurants, and food preparation facilities should consider quarterly maintenance due to the higher volumes of grease and food waste that pass through their drainage systems.
Yes, regular maintenance can significantly reduce the likelihood of blockages by removing build-ups of debris, grease, and other materials that can cause clogs. Proactive maintenance allows us to identify and address developing issues such as root ingress, pipe displacement, or scale build-up before they cause a complete blockage, saving you time and money in the long run.
Our preventative maintenance programme has been shown to reduce emergency callouts by up to 80% for customers who maintain a regular service schedule. By removing deposits before they become problematic, we keep your drainage system flowing freely and efficiently. This not only prevents the inconvenience and expense of emergency blockages but also helps to maintain the structural integrity of your pipes, reducing the need for costly repairs or replacements in the future.
Common signs include slow-draining sinks or toilets, unpleasant odours emanating from drains or outside, gurgling sounds coming from plugholes, and water backing up or pooling in unexpected areas. You may also notice damp patches in your garden, cracks in walls near drain runs, or subsidence around manhole covers. These symptoms indicate it's time for a professional check-up.
Other indicators that may be less obvious include increased pest activity around your property, particularly rats or insects near drain covers. Lush green patches of grass directly above drain runs can indicate a leak, as the escaping water and nutrients promote growth. If you notice any unusual wet patches, sinkholes, or changes in ground level around your property, these could indicate a more serious drainage issue that requires immediate professional assessment.
Emergency services may incur additional costs due to the urgency and potential for out-of-hours work. Scheduled maintenance is generally more cost-effective as it's planned in advance, allowing us to allocate resources efficiently. We always recommend setting up a regular maintenance schedule to minimise the risk of unexpected drainage emergencies and keep your costs predictable.
By investing in regular scheduled maintenance, you can avoid the significantly higher costs associated with emergency callouts. Our planned maintenance contracts offer excellent value, with fixed-price annual or quarterly visits that include comprehensive cleaning, CCTV inspection, and a detailed condition report. This predictable cost structure makes it much easier to budget for your drainage maintenance needs and eliminates the risk of unexpected emergency repair bills.
The duration of a maintenance visit depends on the size and complexity of your drainage system. Most standard maintenance tasks for residential properties can be completed within a few hours. Larger commercial properties or systems that require more extensive cleaning may take longer. We'll provide you with a realistic time estimate when you book your maintenance appointment.
For a standard three-bedroom house with a conventional drainage system, a typical maintenance visit takes approximately two to three hours. This includes CCTV inspection of all accessible drain runs, high-pressure water jetting of the main sewer connection and branch drains, cleaning of all gullies and inspection chambers, and a comprehensive system check. Larger properties, properties with extensive drainage systems, or systems requiring significant descaling or root cutting may take longer.
Yes, we prioritise eco-friendly methods and products in our maintenance services to ensure the safety and sustainability of our practices. We use high-pressure water jetting as our primary cleaning method, which relies on the force of clean water rather than harsh chemicals. Where chemical treatments are necessary, we use environmentally responsible products that are safe for local waterways and ecosystems.
Our environmental commitment extends beyond just the products we use. We carefully manage water consumption during jetting operations, recycle where possible, and ensure all waste material removed from drainage systems is disposed of through licensed waste management facilities. We hold all necessary environmental permits and waste carrier licences, and our environmental management practices are regularly audited to ensure ongoing compliance with all applicable regulations.
We use no-dig technologies for many repairs, allowing us to fix issues with minimal disruption to your property. Techniques such as pipe relining, patch repairs, and robotic cutting can address a wide range of problems without the need for excavation. However, the method of repair depends on the severity and location of the damage, and our engineers will always recommend the most appropriate and cost-effective solution for your specific situation.
Our no-dig repair capabilities include structural pipe lining using cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) technology, which can rehabilitate damaged pipes from within, creating a new pipe inside the old one. We also offer patch repairs for localised damage, robotic cutting for root removal and lateral connection reinstatement, and resin injection for joint sealing. These techniques can address the majority of common drainage defects without the need for disruptive and costly excavation work.
Yes, we provide a detailed report after each maintenance session, outlining the work done and any recommendations for future care or repairs. For CCTV surveys, this includes annotated footage and a written assessment of your drainage system's condition. These reports are invaluable for insurance purposes, property sales, and planning future maintenance activities.
Our comprehensive maintenance reports include CCTV footage captured during the inspection, along with annotated screenshots highlighting any areas of concern. Each defect is classified using the industry-standard WRc severity grading system, with clear recommendations for remedial action where required. We retain copies of all reports in our customer database, allowing us to track the condition of your drainage system over time and identify any developing trends that may require attention.
You can schedule regular maintenance by contacting us via our website, phone, or email. We'll work with you to create a maintenance schedule that suits your needs and budget. Many of our customers choose our annual maintenance plans, which provide regular scheduled visits at a discounted rate compared to individual bookings, along with priority access to our emergency services should you need them.
To get started, simply call us on 0115 990 2882 or fill in our online contact form, and one of our team will get back to you to discuss your requirements. We can arrange an initial assessment visit to evaluate your drainage system and recommend an appropriate maintenance frequency and scope.
