Drain Jetting in Kent & Medway

Blocked drain? We'll clear it — usually the same day.

When drain rods aren't enough, our high-pressure drain jetting service provides the powerful solution. At First Fix Response, we use professional high-pressure water jetting equipment to quickly remove stubborn blockages caused by fat, grease, silt, scale, wipes and tree roots. Unlike drain rods that simply create a small opening, drain jetting thoroughly cleans the inside of your pipes, restoring full flow and helping to prevent future blockages.

Whether you have a blocked drain at your home, business or commercial premises, our experienced local engineers use the correct pressure and equipment to safely clear your drainage system without causing damage.

Every job is completed by one of our trusted local drainage engineers—The First Fix Response team. We arrive fully equipped, explain the work required, and provide a fixed price before any work begins. There are no hidden charges and no call-out fees.

WHAT HIGH-PRESSURE DRAIN JETTING IS

Drain jetting (also called high-pressure water jetting) sends a controlled jet of water down the drain through a specialist nozzle. The pressure breaks up the blockage and the water flushes it away, while the nozzle scours grease and build-up off the pipe walls. The result is a pipe that's properly clear, not one that blocks again in a fortnight. It's the same method the commercial sector uses, sized to the job in front of us.

WHEN YOU NEED DRAIN JETTING

Rodding clears a simple, near-surface blockage. Jetting is what you want when the blockage is stubborn, recurring, or further down the line:

  • Grease and fat build-up that keeps coming back

  • Silt and debris in outside drains and gullies

  • Scale narrowing an older pipe

  • Root intrusion that rods can't cut through

  • Before a CCTV survey, to clean the pipe so the camera sees clearly

Not sure if it's a rod job or a jet job? Call and describe it — we'll tell you straight.

REMOVING SCALE AND HARDENED BUILD-UP

Scale, grease and mineral deposits harden onto the inside of a pipe over the years and slowly narrow it — so the drain runs slow even when nothing's actually blocking it. High-pressure jetting scours that build-up straight off the pipe walls and restores the full bore, so water flows properly again. For very hard, compacted scale in older cast-iron or pitch-fibre pipes, we step up to mechanical de-scaling to cut it back.

WILL JETTING DAMAGE MY PIPES?

Done properly, no. The pressure and nozzle are matched to the pipe — a domestic clay or plastic drain is jetted very differently from a commercial cast-iron line.

We work to recognised water-jetting standards, and if a survey shows the pipe is already cracked or collapsed, we'll tell you and recommend a CCTV survey and the right repair rather than jet a failing pipe.

Honest assessment first, jetting second.

High-pressure Water Jetting FAQ's

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

What can high-pressure jetting clear?

Fat, grease, food waste, silt, sediment, scale and tree roots — most things that rods can't shift, in domestic and small commercial drains alike.

How often should drains be jetted?

For a property that blocks repeatedly — a busy kitchen, lots of trees nearby — a periodic jet as part of planned drain maintenance stops the emergencies before they start. Most homes only need it when there's a problem.

Do you survey the drain as well?

We can. If a drain keeps blocking, a CCTV survey after jetting shows whether the pipe itself is the cause — roots, a crack, a collapsed section — so it's fixed properly.

Do you charge a call-out fee?

No. We don't charge just to turn up. You'll know the fixed price for the work before we start.

Do you provide CCTV drain surveys?

Yes, we offer professional CCTV drain surveys across Kent & Medway using advanced drainage camera equipment. CCTV surveys help identify blocked drains, damaged pipes, root ingress, collapsed drains and ongoing drainage problems without unnecessary excavation.

What is high-pressure drain jetting?

High-pressure drain jetting is a professional drain cleaning method that uses powerful water jets to remove grease, debris, scale, sludge and stubborn blockages from drainage systems. It is one of the most effective ways to restore proper drainage flow.

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 jetting remove limescale and hardened build-up?

Yes. Jetting scours scale and grease off the inside of the pipe, not just punch through a blockage — which restores the full width of the drain and keeps it flowing. Where the build-up is too hard for water alone, we use mechanical de-scaling instead.

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.
