Drain Cleaning
Our high-pressure water jetting systems remove blockages at speeds up to 500mph, tackling grease, roots, and even concrete deposits. Mechanical root cutters handle severe obstructions while maintaining pipe integrity. Emergency callouts available for urgent drainage issues.
Septic Tanks
We supply and install modern septic tanks designed for efficient waste separation and environmentally responsible discharge. Our systems comply with current regulations and include maintenance plans to ensure long-term functionality and ground protection.
Sewage Treatment
Advanced treatment plants provide purified effluent suitable for watercourse discharge. We specialise in BIOROCK systems requiring no electricity, offering sustainable solutions with minimal maintenance requirements and guaranteed environmental compliance.
Drain Relining
Trenchless technology enables structural pipe repairs without excavation. Resin polymer liners create watertight, joint-free replacements suitable for damaged drains beneath buildings or landscaped areas, completed with minimal disruption.
CCTV Surveys
Comprehensive drain mapping and fault detection using high-resolution camera systems. We provide detailed reports showing drainage layouts, blockage locations, and structural issues, essential for property purchases or maintenance planning.

The team did a great job for us on a difficult site. The took care, were very responsive and professional. They even helped resolve cost issues with a neighbour on a shared system. Highly recommended.

Report
When we were buying our new house we needed someone to survey the existing septic system. It was quite a search, but finally someone recommended Gordon Hatton. Mike and the team did a great job on the survey, then came back to do the remedial work - an entire new system to replace our decrepit 1911 built one. The guys were punctual, respectful of our property, and did a great job of delivering on time with very, very minimal disruption to our garden (way less than we'd been led to expect). Would recommend unreservedly

They turned up within just a few hours, fixed the problem (which it turned out was not a simple one), they had all the equipment and were fast & efficient as well as professional. Wouldn't go anywhere else in future

Report
Gordon Hatton and Co undertook a drainage survey on a property we are buying. They were quick and professional, and the report produced as a result was incredibly detailed explaining not just the issues found, but recommendations and costs to rectify the problems. They kept us well informed at all stages of the process. Outstanding service, so I would highly recommend them.

Gordon Hatton & Co did an inspection of the drains at my late father's house. The service was efficient and thorough and the report was excellent. It enabled me direct the local authority's contractors to the right place so that they could clear a partially blocked drain.
