Need Emergency Drainage Services in Kent & Medway?

Our local drainage engineers are available 24/7 for blocked drains, drain repairs and emergencies.

WHAT IS PLANNED DRAIN MAINTENANCE & WHO IS IT FOR?

Instead of waiting for a drain to block, we visit on a regular schedule and keep it clear — typically a combination of high-pressure jetting and clearing the runs and gullies most likely to cause trouble.

You agree the schedule with us once, and we keep to it — so the drains stay clear and you stop thinking about them.

  • Properties that block repeatedly - A busy household, lots of fat or wipes reaching the drain.

  • Homes with trees close to the drain run, where roots keep finding their way in.

  • Older drainage systems probe to silt and scale.

  • Anyone who'd rather pay a predictable amount on a schedule than an unpredictable emergency bill.

Running a business or managing a property?

We set up drain maintenance for commercial sites and landlords too, across a wider area.

WHAT A MAINTENANCE VISIT INCLUDES

A typical visit: We clear and jet the drains on your schedule, check the gullies and downpipes, and flag anything starting to go wrong before it becomes a callout.

If we spot a developing fault, we'll show you and recommend a CCTV survey rather than let it turn into an emergency. You get a clear record of what we did each visit.

WHY PREVENTION BEATS AN EMERGENCY CALL-OUT

An emergency blockage costs more than a planned visit — and it always happens at the worst time.

Regular maintenance catches the fat, silt and root build-up while it's still easy to clear, so small problems never grow into collapses, floods or damage.

It's the same logic as servicing a car: a little, regularly, instead of a lot, suddenly.

A named local team that gets to know your property, a schedule that actually suits you, no call-out charge, and an honest heads-up the moment something needs attention. We maintain your drains to keep you out of trouble — not to manufacture visits.

DRAIN MAINTENANCE FAQ's

See a list below of our frequently asked questions from our customers

What does planned drain maintenance involve?

Scheduled visits to clear and jet your drains before they block, check the gullies and downpipes, and flag anything starting to go wrong.

How often do drains need maintaining?

It depends on the property — how heavily the drains are used and whether there are trees nearby. We'll recommend a sensible interval once we've seen the system; many properties do well on a six-monthly or annual visit.

Why not just wait until a drain blocks?

Because an emergency costs more and arrives at the worst time. Maintenance clears the build-up while it's easy, so you avoid the floods, the damage and the call-out.

Do you offer maintenance for businesses and landlords?

Yes — we set up drain maintenance for commercial sites and rental properties across a wider area.

How much does planned drain maintenance cost?

There's no call-out charge, and you'll know the price before we start. It depends on the property and the schedule — we'll give you a clear figure once we understand what you need.

Do you map where the drains run as well?

Yes. As well as checking the condition inside the pipe, we can trace and map where your drains run, how deep they are and where they connect — useful before an extension, before buying a property, or before any digging. You get a clear map you can keep. Many jobs use both together: map where it is, survey what state it's in.

Do you work with residential and commercial properties?

Yes, we provide drainage services for both residential and commercial customers across Kent & Medway. We work with homeowners, landlords, businesses, restaurants, offices, retail units and industrial properties.

Can you help with overflowing drains and flooding?

Yes, our emergency drainage engineers can respond quickly to overflowing drains, flooding, blocked manholes and sewage backups. We use professional drainage equipment to identify the cause of the issue and restore safe drainage as quickly as possible.

How do I know if I need a CCTV drain survey?

You may need a CCTV drain survey if you experience recurring blocked drains, bad smells, slow drainage, suspected drain damage or ongoing drainage issues that cannot be identified externally. CCTV surveys allow us to inspect the inside of your drains and diagnose problems accurately.

Are your drainage engineers fully insured and qualified?

Yes, all of our drainage engineers are fully insured, experienced and trained to carry out professional drainage services safely and effectively across Kent & Medway.

Do you provide drain repairs?

Yes, we provide professional drain repair services for damaged, cracked and collapsed drains. After identifying the issue, we can recommend the most effective repair solution to restore your drainage system.

How can I prevent blocked drains?

Regular drainage maintenance can help prevent blocked drains. Avoid pouring grease down sinks, dispose of waste correctly, keep gutters clear and arrange routine drain cleaning or CCTV inspections if you experience recurring drainage issues.

My outside drain is blocked — is that my responsibility or the water company's?

It depends where the blockage is. A drain inside your boundary that only serves your property is usually yours; a shared or public sewer is the water company's. We'll tell you which it is when we're there, and point you to the right people if it's not yours.

What if clearing it doesn't fix it for long?

That's a sign the pipe itself needs attention. We'll survey it with a camera and recommend the right repair — root removal, relining or, as a last resort, excavation.
