Blocked Drains
Our 24/7 blocked drain service utilises high-pressure water jetting (4000 PSI) and electro-mechanical tools to clear obstructions in domestic and commercial pipes. Engineers resolve issues caused by grease, tree roots, or foreign objects, with CCTV surveys included to identify root causes. No-dig relining options prevent future blockages, ensuring minimal property disruption.
CCTV Drain Surveys
CCTV surveys provide detailed internal pipe assessments using waterproof cameras. This non-invasive method identifies cracks, root ingress, or scale build-up, enabling targeted repairs. Surveys accompany every unblocking service and are available as standalone diagnostics for property maintenance or pre-purchase checks across Kent.
Gutter Cleaning
Professional gutter cleaning prevents water damage using telescopic poles and industrial vacuums. Our team removes moss, leaves, and debris from domestic and commercial properties, ensuring free-flowing drainage. Services include hopper and downpipe clearance, with priority booking for listed buildings and heritage sites in Canterbury and Thanet.
No-Dig Drain Repairs
No-dig relining repairs cracked or root-damaged drains without excavation. A resin-coated liner is inserted and inflated to create a durable, seamless pipe within the existing structure. This method reduces costs by up to 75% compared to traditional methods while extending pipe lifespan by 50+ years, ideal for historic properties or busy commercial sites.
Septic Tank Emptying
Regular septic tank emptying prevents overflow and environmental contamination. Our vacuum tankers remove sludge and effluent, with pre-arranged visits allowing unattended service. We provide documentation for regulatory compliance and offer emergency clearance for urgent blockages, serving rural properties and commercial premises across Kent.

Steve and Lawrence were really friendly and helpful and helped answer any questions we had about the work (we're both pretty novices on this!). They were honest and said a simple repair would save us the unnecessary hassle of having to rip out what was there, saving us money and time. That was really appreciated. We'd absolutely recommend them.

Major panic yesterday 20/4/18...drains blocked from the back of the house to the front.
Spoke to a very reassuring gentleman who quoted me a price and told me someone would be with me within the hour.
45 mins later drains were being unblocked. Very professional and clean. Price same as quotation. Thank you so much.
