Services
Drain Unblocking
Our drain unblocking service addresses both complete and partial blockages using advanced techniques like jet washing and rodding. We employ CCTV surveys to identify root causes, including tree root intrusion or fat build-up. Emergency call-outs ensure rapid resolution of urgent drainage issues for residential and commercial properties.
Water Main Repair
Specialist water main repair services include leak detection and pipe replacement for supply pipes on private property. Our engineers use precision equipment to locate faults and implement durable repairs, preventing flooding damage. We handle both emergency repairs and scheduled maintenance for domestic and commercial clients.
Lead Pipe Replacement
Lead pipe replacement services eliminate health risks from lead contamination using minimally invasive moling technology. We replace outdated piping with modern materials to improve water quality and pressure while complying with safety regulations for residential properties built before 1970.
Drain Cleaning
Comprehensive drain cleaning includes high-pressure jetting to remove blockages and CCTV surveys to assess pipe condition. Our maintenance services prevent future issues by eliminating debris build-up and identifying potential weaknesses in drainage systems for both domestic and commercial properties.
Moling Services
Moling services provide trenchless pipe installation and replacement using soil displacement technology. This method reduces excavation requirements by creating underground tunnels at 10-15m intervals, preserving landscaping and structures while installing durable water supply lines efficiently.

I was met in the morning by a nasty overspill coming from the drain cover plate at the side of my house, I got this companys number from a friend that recently had a similar issue. When I called they we able to come out the same evening, Raymond (The Team leader I think?) was both polite and friendly. He opened up the drain cover and could see that part of the pipe had corroded and was leaking water. He was able to diagnose and quote for the work which he said would takes a couple of hours. I didnt expect him to be able to resolve the same day but he did. I was very satisfied with the price
