What we cover on a commercial drainage contract

A blocked line in a restaurant is a closure. In a washroom block it is a complaint by mid-morning. In a residential building, it is a category one repair with a clock running on it.

We clear and maintain commercial drainage across kitchens, washrooms, car parks, yards and shared systems. High-pressure jetting, rodding, CCTV surveys, grease trap servicing, gully and interceptor cleaning, root cutting, patch lining and excavation where a line has failed.

Reactive callouts and scheduled cleaning sit under one agreement, so the engineer attending your emergency already has the survey footage and site history.

How we handle commercial drainage works  

Site walk
We visit, list the assets and agree what needs checking, how often, and at what cost.
Schedule set
The year goes in the diary upfront, with frequencies set per asset rather than per site.
Engineers attend
Your site history arrives with them. Small jobs get done on the visit, not raised as a second booking.
Report issued
Written report after every attendance covering what was done, what was flagged and what needs quoting.
KITCHEN LINES BACKING UP MID-SERVICE
Fat, oil and grease coat the pipe wall until the bore closes. Our commercial drainage services in London clear it with high-pressure jetting rather than rodding it through, because rodding only buys you a fortnight. Grease traps and interceptors get serviced on a set cycle so the same line stops failing.

WASHROOMS AND SOIL STACKS
Wipes, sanitary products and scale block soil stacks and branch lines across multi-tenanted buildings. We clear the stack, identify which floor the problem originates from, and can fit access points where a system offers nowhere sensible to work from. Washroom blocks stay part-open where the layout allows it.
SURFACE WATER, GULLIES AND CAR PARKS
Blocked gullies flood service yards, loading bays and car parks, which becomes a liability issue rather than a drainage one. We clear silt, leaf debris and standing water, service petrol interceptors, and check outfalls and soakaways before winter rather than during the first heavy rain.

COLLAPSED, ROOT-DAMAGED AND FAILING PIPEWORK
Repeat blockages usually mean the pipe itself has gone. CCTV surveys confirm whether it is roots, displaced joints, scale or a collapse, then we cut roots, patch line or replace the section. Surveys are also carried out for pre-purchase reports and insurance claims where evidence of condition is needed.

Trusted across London and the South East

Who we cover in London

Restaurants and hospitality groups, retail chains, housing associations, managed offices, hotels, schools, healthcare premises and the facilities management companies covering them. Sites where a blocked line stops trade or triggers an environmental health problem.

Most clients hold a Priority Account, which fixes response times, agrees rates before the callout and keeps the same engineers on your sites. Over 25 years across London and the South East, more than 12,000 jobs a year, and over 100 commercial clients on the books.

Two-hour attendance
Emergency response across London, day or night, subject to availability.
Jetting units on the road
High-pressure equipment carried, not sourced after diagnosis.
Out of hours as standard
Works run overnight so kitchens and washrooms open on time.
CCTV evidence supplied
Footage and reports issued where a survey forms part of the works.
One contact across sites
Consolidated reporting and invoicing, whatever the portfolio size.

Why the same drain keeps blocking

Clearing a blockage and fixing a drainage problem are two different jobs. Rod a grease-lined kitchen waste and it flows again for a fortnight. Jet it without servicing the trap and you are back within the quarter.

We survey after clearing anything that has blocked before, so you find out whether the cause is build-up, a displaced joint or a collapse. Our commercial drainage services in London cost less as a cleaning schedule than as four emergency callouts a year, and far less than closing a site mid-service.

Frequently asked questions

How fast can you clear a commercial blockage?
We attend within two hours across London, subject to availability, 24 hours a day. Most blockages clear on the first visit. Priority Account holders have fixed response times agreed in advance rather than relying on availability.
What do your commercial drainage services in London cover?
High-pressure jetting, rodding, CCTV surveys, grease trap and interceptor servicing, gully cleaning, root cutting, patch lining, pipe repairs and excavation. We work across kitchens, washrooms, soil stacks, service yards, car parks and shared systems.
Can you work while we are trading?
Usually, yes. We contain the working area and clear it down afterwards. Where the work would disrupt service, engineers attend overnight or before opening so kitchens and washroom blocks are back in use for the day.
Do you provide CCTV survey reports?
Yes. You get the footage plus a written report identifying the defect, its location and the recommended repair. Reports are suitable for insurance claims, pre-purchase enquiries and cases where a landlord or freeholder needs evidence of condition.
How often should commercial kitchen drains be jetted?
Most busy kitchens need quarterly jetting, with monthly grease trap servicing. High-volume sites often need more. We set intervals based on what the first clean reveals rather than applying the same schedule to every site.
Can you handle repairs as well as clearing?
Yes. Once a survey confirms the defect we cut roots, patch line the damaged section or excavate and replace where the pipe has collapsed. Repairs are quoted from survey footage, so you see the problem before approving the work.
Do you work for facilities management companies?
Regularly. We provide overflow capacity and specialist drainage support for FM providers and larger contractors across London, working to their reporting formats and response obligations. Unbranded vans are available where required.
