Drain Unblocking & Jetting

How do you unblock drains?

We use high-pressure water jetting to break down and flush away blockages safely. This method is quick, effective, and suitable for both domestic and commercial systems.

What causes blocked drains?

Blocked drains are often caused by grease and oil build-up in kitchens, hair and soap residue in bathrooms, or structural issues such as collapsed pipes or invading tree roots.

How much does drain unblocking cost?

Pricing depends on the severity of the blockage and accessibility of the drain. We offer free quotes, competitive rates, and never charge for call-outs.

CCTV Drain Surveys

What is a CCTV drain survey?

A CCTV drain survey involves inserting a small camera into your drainage system to inspect for blockages, cracks, or collapsed sections without excavation.

When should I book a drain survey?

You should consider a survey if you experience recurring blockages, are buying or selling a property, or suspect an underground fault or root intrusion.

Do you provide survey reports?

Yes, we provide video footage and a written report summarising the issue and recommended repairs. Reports are ideal for insurance claims or property transactions.

How much does a CCTV drain survey cost?

Costs vary depending on the length and complexity of your system, but all quotes are clear and upfront with no hidden fees.

Soil Stack Replacements

What is a soil stack?

A soil stack is the vertical pipe that carries wastewater from bathrooms and toilets into the main sewer system.

When should a soil stack be replaced? 

Replacement may be needed if you notice leaks, corrosion, bad smells, or poor water flow. Over time, stacks can crack or become blocked.

How long does a soil stack replacement take?

Most soil stack replacements are completed within one working day, depending on the height and structure of the property.

Do you replace both plastic and cast iron stacks?

 Yes, we replace both uPVC and traditional cast iron stacks to modern, long-lasting standards.

Excavation & Dig Repairs

When is a dig repair needed?

Excavation is necessary when a pipe has collapsed, suffered major cracks, or is blocked due to structural failure that cannot be resolved with jetting.

How do you ensure safety during dig repairs?

We follow strict health and safety standards, using protective barriers and professional equipment to complete excavation work safely and efficiently.

Do you restore surfaces after dig repairs?

Yes. We reinstate driveways, patios, and lawns after completing repairs, ensuring your property is left in excellent condition.

Gutter Clearings

Why is gutter clearing important?

Regular gutter cleaning prevents leaks, damp, and costly water damage by keeping water flowing freely through your gutters and downpipes.

How often should gutters be cleared? 

We recommend having your gutters cleared twice a year, typically in spring and autumn, to prevent blockages from leaves and moss.

Do you clear gutters for commercial buildings?

Yes. We provide gutter clearing in Blackpool for homes, offices, shops, and warehouses.

Do you install new drainage systems in Blackpool?

Yes. We design and install complete drainage systems for new builds, home extensions, and commercial premises, ensuring compliance with building regulations.
