Services
Blocked Drains
We specialise in urgent blocked drain solutions using high-pressure jetting and advanced techniques. Our engineers resolve slow drainage or complete blockages in sinks, baths, and toilets efficiently. Available 24/7 across Hampshire, we guarantee rapid response and lasting repairs to prevent recurring issues.
CCTV Drain Surveys
Our CCTV drain surveys identify exact blockage causes and pipe conditions using crawler cameras for diameters 100mm-1m. This minimises excavation by pinpointing repairs needed, saving time and costs. Ideal for pre-purchase property assessments or diagnosing persistent drainage problems.
Emergency Plumbing
24/7 emergency plumbing services address burst pipes, leaking taps, and water main failures. Our fully equipped vehicles carry all necessary tools for immediate repairs, preventing property damage. We prioritise rapid resolution while maintaining compliance with industry safety standards.
Drain Repair
We conduct targeted drain repairs using excavation or micro-jetting methods following CCTV diagnostics. Our solutions address root infiltration, collapsed pipes, or fat buildup, restoring drainage systems with durable materials and techniques tailored to each property's needs.
High Pressure Jetting
High-pressure water jetting clears stubborn blockages caused by grease, debris, or tree roots. This non-invasive method cleans pipes thoroughly without chemical damage, suitable for domestic and commercial drainage systems. Combined with CCTV surveys for optimal results.
