Our services
Everything below ground
From a blocked sink to a new main sewer connection, our engineers carry the equipment to deal with it on the first visit.
01
Unblock & clean
Fast clearance, restored flow and a clean site when we leave.
High pressure jetting
Removes fat, grease, scale and debris to keep pipes flowing. Our larger jetting trucks handle commercial lines.
Root cutting
Water-powered and mechanical cutters remove root ingress without digging, checked by camera as we go.
02
Survey & inspect
See what's going on without digging, with a written report you can act on.
CCTV drain surveys
Water Authority approved reports with recorded footage, defects and repair recommendations.
Home buyer surveys
Check the drains before you buy. Most insurers won't cover problems that existed before you moved in.
Build-over & adoption surveys
Pre and post-build surveys for extensions near shared sewers, and full clean-and-survey for sewer adoption.
03
Repair & renew
No-dig where possible, excavation where it isn't.
No-dig relining
A resin liner cured inside the old pipe seals cracks, displaced joints and root entry with no excavation.
Excavation repairs
Collapsed sections, full system renewals, diversions, soakaways and treatment plants, with full reinstatement.
Sewer connections
Main sewer connections from permits to sign-off. Street works licensed engineers and traffic management.

Drain advice
Common questions
Is the blocked drain my responsibility or the water company's?
As a rule, you're responsible for the drain that serves only your property and sits within your boundary. Once it joins a drain from a neighbouring property, or leaves your boundary, it's usually the water company's responsibility.
If you're not sure, call us. We'll tell you honestly whether it's a job for us or for the water company.
What are the signs of a damaged or collapsed drain?
Repeat blockages, slow-draining sinks and toilets, bad smells outside, damp patches, subsidence near the drain run, or rats in the garden can all point to a damaged pipe. A CCTV survey shows exactly what's wrong before anyone digs.
Do I need a build-over survey for my extension?
If you're building over, or within 3 metres of, a public or shared sewer, the water company will usually need a build-over agreement. That normally means a CCTV survey before work starts and another when it's finished, to prove the sewer hasn't been damaged.
Is a drain survey worth it when buying a house?
Most standard home surveys don't look inside the drains. Root ingress, cracked pipes and collapses are common in older properties, and insurers rarely cover defects that existed before you bought. A home buyer drain survey on a typical three-bed semi takes a few hours.
Can you repair a drain without digging?
Often, yes. Cracks, displaced joints and root entry can usually be fixed with a resin liner installed from inside the pipe. A collapsed pipe normally needs excavating. We'll confirm the right method from the camera footage.
