Services
Drain Cleaning
Our drain cleaning service utilises high-pressure water jetting to clear blockages from simple sink clogs to main line obstructions. We employ van pack units for rapid response across Greater London, ensuring efficient removal of debris and waste materials. Regular maintenance reduces emergency call-outs while maintaining optimal drainage functionality for commercial and public sector clients.
CCTV Surveys
Using colour CCTV camera systems, we conduct detailed sewer inspections through crawler or pushrod technology. Our surveys identify structural issues and blockages, providing DVD recordings and written reports for accurate diagnosis. This non-invasive method enables precise planning of remedial works while maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements.
Emergency Drainage
Our 24/7 emergency drainage service responds to critical blockages using high-pressure jetting and Vactor Combination Units. Available across Greater London, we resolve urgent sewer issues while ensuring proper waste disposal according to environmental legislation. Rapid response times minimise operational disruption for local authorities and utility companies.
Pipe Relining
We offer trenchless pipe relining solutions for damaged drainage systems, eliminating the need for extensive excavation. Our specialists install new linings within existing pipes, restoring structural integrity while maintaining continuous service. This cost-effective method extends asset lifespan for municipal and commercial drainage networks.
Flood Clean-Up
Post-flood clean-up operations utilise Vactor Combination Units to remove contaminated water and debris from highways and properties. We support local authorities with gully maintenance following extreme weather events, ensuring safe drainage systems while complying with environmental waste disposal regulations across the Home Counties region.
