High-pressure drain jetting

When jetting is the right fix

Jetting is the best option when a drain keeps blocking, when the blockage is a long way from the access point, or when the pipe is coated in something that rods can't shift. Typical causes include kitchen fat and grease, baby wipes, sand and silt washed in from driveways, limescale in older pipes, and fine roots growing through joints.

What happens on the day

We set up at the nearest manhole or rodding point, choose the right nozzle for the pipe size and the blockage, and work the jet up the line in stages. The debris flushes back to the chamber where we remove it. We finish by running clean water through the system and checking every connected fitting drains properly.

Jetting is safe for plastic and clay drains that are in reasonable condition. If a pipe is badly cracked, we'll talk to you before using full pressure on it.

What it costs

We don't charge by the hour. After the £49 call-out, our engineer inspects the drain and gives you a fixed price on site, with no obligation to go ahead. If a big blockage or a full manhole takes longer than expected, the price doesn't change. That matters most on jetting jobs, where long runs and heavy fat build-up can take time.

Preventative jetting

For restaurants, takeaways, pubs and rental properties that block regularly, a planned jet every three or six months costs far less than emergency call-outs. See commercial drain maintenance.
