At some point all drains need to be cleared out.

The inevitable build-up of fat, washing detergent, silt and mineral scale reduce the water flow in the pipe leading to an eventual blockage. We use professional high-pressure water jetting, which clears the most stubborn of stubborn blockages without the need for any abrasive or corrosive chemicals, which can damage the environment and local wildlife. Using a high-pressured jetting machine, we are able to blast through any obstructions and strip away any deposits to restore fully functional conditions, as well as leave the drain as good as new.

At 1st Drainage, we will clear your pipes and drains, which will give you the satisfaction that you do not need to worry about any future blockages.

With today’s technology, we believe in the importance of investing in the latest CCTV camera equipment, which will accurately identify faults and blockages. Afterwards, you will be provided you with visual footage and a detailed report of the survey.

The camera is pushed or driven along the pipe, while the engineer watches a coloured picture on the TV monitor. The advantage of a CCTV drain report is that it can diagnose any potential problem below ground or above ground, in areas that are not readily accessible. Also, we offer drainage reports to homebuyers.

If you are thinking about purchasing a property and wish to have the drainage system checked, a report can be produced before making that final decision. CCTV cameras are incredibly useful for Drain Inspections and CCTV Drain Surveys, as we are able to get into the deepest parts of the drain.

Once 1st Drainage engineers have viewed the CCTV survey footage of your drain, they will advise you on the best course of action to deal with your drainage problem. For details of this service please feel free to contact us for a no obligation quote appointment.

There are usually two types of pipes; plastic or clayware. This means that the handling, cutting and jointing vary for each pipe. Also, there are different types of bedding for the drainage design to suit all sorts of ground conditions. Our Engineers are fully equipped with the latest drainage technology and an extensive knowledge, which is needed for suitability. Sometimes the pipes are just too old to repair and in these circumstances, we can replace old for new. In addition, we provide the service to lay pipes which connect to toilets and wash basins.

In time manholes require repair due to old age and subsidence, which causes benching around the manhole to breakaway and cause blockages. Whether your manhole has collapsed or the cover is broken, we will repair the problem professionally using advanced grouts and resins to ensure the repair is a permanent one. Additionally, we can replace old broken manholes to prevent further damage, if required.

Gutters are an important part of your home’s weather proofing system. During the colder months, leaves and debris are washed from your roof and begin to accumulate in your gutter, which means the gutter has to support far more weight than it was designed for. If water is not free flowing, it can cause cosmetic and structural damage to all surfaces of your home. Clearing the gutters can be extremely dangerous work but our specialized engineers are trained to do the job safely.

Please don’t hesitate to call 1st Drainage in the knowledge that you are safe and that the job is being done properly.

Tree roots can have an effect on drain pipes, which cause serious blockages and even cause drains to collapse. Above the surface, cracks can appear in driveways and pavements. Whether the tree is growing on your property or your neighbours’ property, the roots are more likely to grow along the pipe, because they are sensitive to the moisture. The tree roots can be cut from the drain using Root Cutting equipment, which is powered by high pressure water.

Our expert engineers at 1st Drainage can remove the roots safely and treat them to ensure that they won’t come back.
