Services
Drain Unblocking
Our 24/7 drain unblocking service utilises high-pressure water jetting and electro-mechanical cleaning to resolve blockages in domestic and commercial properties. We tackle issues caused by tree roots, grease build-up, and foreign objects while protecting your pipework. Engineers carry both methods on every van for immediate problem resolution.
CCTV Drain Survey
Advanced CCTV cameras combined with sonar tracing create detailed reports on pipe condition, blockages, and structural integrity. Our surveys identify cracks, root ingress, and connection points with precision to BS EN 13508-2 standards. Reports include CAD plans and repair recommendations.
Drain Jetting
Using van-mounted units generating up to 1500bar pressure, we remove grease, scale, and debris from drains of all sizes. Our jetting process restores full flow capacity while preserving pipe integrity. Recommended for both emergency clearance and preventative maintenance programs.
Pipe Relining
Our cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) relining creates a new structural pipe within damaged drains without excavation. The process seals cracks, prevents root ingress, and lasts over 50 years. Ideal for repairing underground pipes beneath driveways, gardens, or commercial premises.
Tanker Hire
Available 24/7, our tanker fleet handles septic tank emptying, floodwater extraction, and industrial sludge removal. Vehicles combine high-capacity vacuum systems with jetting capabilities for simultaneous cleaning and waste removal. Fully licensed for non-hazardous waste transportation.

Had to call on Drain 247 last minute for one of my rental properties, I'd realised the drains were blocked on the morning before my new tenants would arrive, despite it being such a last-minute thing, Drain 247 came out and got the job done with no problems and a reasonable price.
