Services
Drain Unblocking
Our 24/7 drain unblocking service utilises high-pressure jetting and specialist equipment to resolve blockages in domestic and commercial drainage systems. We deploy both small van jetting packs and large 7.5-tonne vehicles to handle emergencies efficiently. With three decades of experience, our qualified engineers guarantee rapid response times and complete system restoration.
CCTV Surveys
Using advanced CCTV technology, we conduct detailed inspections of drainage systems to identify blockages, cracks, or structural issues. Our surveys provide accurate diagnostics for both domestic and commercial properties, enabling targeted repairs. This non-invasive method reduces excavation requirements while ensuring comprehensive system assessments.
Septic Tank Services
We offer complete septic tank management including emptying, maintenance, and compliance surveys. Our services meet 2020 Environment Agency regulations, with emergency emptying available. We handle installations, repairs, and percolation testing for domestic and commercial properties across Gloucestershire and surrounding areas.
No-Dig Technology
Our trenchless repair solutions include pipe lining and re-rounding techniques that eliminate the need for disruptive excavations. Specialising in Pitch Fibre drain repairs, we offer cost-effective alternatives to traditional pipe replacement. This technology reduces project times while maintaining structural integrity of drainage systems.
River Maintenance
We provide essential flood prevention services for rivers, streams, and culverts. Our work includes debris removal, trash screen cleaning, and riverbank maintenance. Committed to environmental protection, we regularly clear blockages and remove litter to maintain waterway health and prevent flooding risks.

After discovering our drain outside the kitchen was backing up and not flowing properly we rang Cotswold Drain Services. Two of their team arrived promptly and were very professional and courteous. 15 mins of high pressure hosing later our drain was unblocked and as good as new. Can't fault their service.

We asked Mark and his team to provide a CCTV survey for a Build-over application after another company we used produced an unusable report resulting in weeks of time wasted during an extension build. Mark sent out his guys the same day to do the survey and everything about the service has been extremely professional. If you need to get a Build over agreement you MUST use an experienced, qualified company to produce the report to satisfy the water company. I would highly recommend you call Cotswold Drain Services.

Great service, bit of an emergency drain blockage on a Saturday and dealt with quickly and efficiently, whilst two other companies faffed around without a positive response. Would use again without hesitation.
