Drain unblocking
Our expert team specialises in unblocking drains of all types, from toilets to sinks and everything in between. We use advanced tools to remove even the toughest blockages quickly and effectively.
High-Pressure water jetting
Our high-pressure water jetting service effectively clears debris and build-up from your drains, ensuring a smooth and efficient flow.
Drain repairs
Our drain repair covers both no-dig repairs and excavations. We use the latest tools and equipment to provide pipelining repairs without the need for expensive excavations. Where there’s a collapsed drain and a repair is not possible, we can also excavate and replace the drain pipe.
CCTV Drain Surveys
CCTV drain surveys can detect drainage problems before they have the chance to become costly and inconvenient issues. Our CCTV drain surveys use the latest iTouch cloud-based system with high-resolution videography and charting technology that provide accurate and in-depth footage and reports, allowing us to help you identify issues and keep your drains in good working condition.
Tanker services
Our drainage tankers are equipped for jetting and vacuuming meaning we can clear stubborn blockages, and also provide septic tank emptying, grease trap emptying, flood water removal and more.
Grease Trap Emptying and FOG Management
It is illegal to release FOG into the sewage system and strict regulations govern how FOG can be disposed of. We can help businesses manage their FOG and ensure that it is disposed of in an environmentally sound manner.
Pump Services
Pump maintenance, pump installations and pump repairs tailored to your business’ needs. We also provide a cost-effective pre-planned maintenance program. Your pumps are an expensive and critical asset where we can help extend their useful life.
Preventative drain maintenance
Also known as Pre-planned Maintenance, regular maintenance is key to preventing costly drainage issues. Our preventative maintenance services ensure your drainage systems remain in excellent condition, reducing the risk of future problems and emergency call-outs.
Recent Examples of Our Drainage Solutions:
Sewage Overflowing Requiring a Quick Drain Unblock:
If you’re looking for expert drain unblocking in Sussex, look no further. We recently responded to an urgent call from a national client dealing with a severe sewage backup issue. Sewage had backed up from the toilets spreading over 50 meters across both the first and second floors of their shop. The backup was caused by a blocked stack pipe, also known as a soil stack.
Sewage overflow caused by a blocked stack pipe
Our team swiftly addressed the problem by accessing the 100mm stack pipe through the men’s toilet and utilised a Spartan 100 cable machine to clear the blockage over 50 meters. After successfully unblocking the drain and ensuring it was flowing freely, we meticulously cleaned up the area, leaving the site spotless.

Removal of Limescale in Hard Water Areas Across Sussex:
Limescale removal is essential for maintaining the efficiency of your drainpipes. Limescale forms when mineral deposits, typically from urine, accumulate in your pipes due to evaporation of water. This buildup occurs particularly in areas with hard water and can significantly reduce pipe diameter by over 50%, obstructing water flow and causing blockages.
Limescale blocking a drainpipe
To tackle limescale effectively, we employ advanced technology and machinery, including the Picote vortex cutter and chains. These tools ensure precise and safe limescale removal without damaging your pipes. After removing the limescale, we use a high-pressure water jet (HPWJ) to flush the line thoroughly, restoring optimal water flow and leaving your pipes clean and clear.

Bad Smells Coming From the Drains Caused by the Rest Bend:
If you’re experiencing bad smells in drains it could be due to stagnant wastewater or issues with nearby manholes. Our team recently tackled a situation where toxic odours were emanating from a problematic rest bend – the drain fitting which connects the vertical stack pipe to the horizontal drain pipe at the bottom. We began by excavating and removing the old rest bend using a 300mm abrasive saw and medium breaker.

A new 6-inch bottle gully was then installed, securely concreted, and backfilled. The newly installed rest bend effectively traps and contains the toxic odours within the pipeline, resolving the issue and ensuring your drains smell fresh and clean.
