The Drain People Ltd

Drain Unblocking
Using a range of different methods, we can unblock toilets, sinks, urinals, external drains, manholes and gullies to ensure free flowing drainage from your property.
CCTV Surveys and Investigations
When a closer inspection of your drains is required, whether that be for the purpose of a new home purchase or to pinpoint the cause of a reoccurring problem, our closed circuit television system will enable you to do so. You can see inside your drainage system and even watch live as we systematically camera your drain lines. Full reports are produced and provided with a solution for any potential remedial works.
Drain Repairs
With over 40 years’ industry experience, our engineers will carry out repairs to your drainage, system applying a wealth of knowledge and providing effective solutions. Repairs can range from small adjustments to fine tune your drainage, through large scale excavation projects and new drainage installation.
Drain Lining & Patch Lining
Problems in your drainage system can occur as often the pipes are made of the original vitrified clay, dating back decades or even centuries. Naturally over time cracks, lips and even holes can appear meaning a reoccurring blockage is immanent. To overcome this issue we use a resin impregnated felt patch which can be installed without the need to excavate, sealing the pipe.
Drain Maintenance
It is very important to maintain your drains to minimise any potential issues. We offer a range of drain maintenance solutions, including regular clearing or jetting and inspections, tailored to your property.
Root Cutting
Tree roots can ingress your drainage system through joints and very small cracks in the pipe. This ill not only continue to cause further damage but also cause blockages therefore removing the roots is essential. We have the technology to be able cut these roots from inside the pipe using special equipment, ensuring your lines are completely clear.
High-Pressure Water Jetting
Our vans are equipped with top of the range, powerful high pressure water jets. These jets are used when the more traditional techniques such as rodding just wont cut it. The jets are used to completely clear your drains of any unwanted waste build up, ensuring your drains are flowing as they should.
Drain Tracing
Simply tracing a drain to the nearest manhole or building up an accurate image of how your whole drainage system is configured is important in many circumstances. This can be done by investigation and using dyes to follow the flow of the pipes, or even a specialist transmitter that is fitted to our CCTV camera system and traced above ground.

Sanitation and Flood Clearance
Floods can damage property and can potentially be dangerous. We can clear flooded properties and disinfect the area ensuring a safe and odour free environment.
Surface Cleaning & Graffiti Removal
Utilising our high pressure water jetting systems we can clean surfaces such as driveways, car parks and patio’s. It can also be used on walls to remove graffiti and other unwanted stains.
Tanker Hire
Sometimes even our jetters cant get through the toughest of blockages, especially a build up really thick fat or grease. In this case a vacuum tanker is required to extract the waste and leave your drains fully functional.

We work with a range of building contractors, maintenance contractors and property management companies with bespoke preventive maintenance plans and contracts. Our long term customers look for reliability and a professional service with an agreement in place for complete peace of mind.
