Stop drainage disasters before they start

Have you seen water hovering at the top of the loo after a flush? Or maybe there's a suspicious puddle near your manhole cover? These are usually the first signs that something's gone wrong underground. From 'fatbergs' built up over years of cooking to stubborn tree roots creeping into old clay pipes, we've seen it all. Ignoring a slow drain often leads to a messy overflow, so it’s always better to sort it sooner rather than later. Imagine coming home to a flooded hallway because a simple clog was left too long—it’s not a risk worth taking. Most homeowners we speak to are surprised at how quickly a small issue can escalate.

High-pressure jetting clears stubborn clogs

Sometimes a simple plunger just won't cut it. That's where our high-pressure water jetting comes in. We use professional-grade kit that blasts water through your pipes at incredible speeds, stripping away grease, scale, and even small roots. It's safe for your drainage system and much more effective than old-fashioned rodding which can sometimes just push the problem further down the line. Plus, because we're WJA-certified, you know the job's being done safely and properly. We'll leave your pipes clean and clear, restoring that 'full bore' flow you need for a happy home.

CCTV surveys find hidden pipe problems

Wondering why that same drain keeps blocking every few months? Instead of guessing and wasting money on temporary fixes, we send a high-definition camera right down into the pipe. It lets us see exactly what's going on—whether it's a collapsed section, a displaced joint, or an object that shouldn't be there. If you're buying a new house in Tytherington or Prestbury, a pre-purchase survey is a lifesaver. It ensures you don't inherit a hidden (and expensive) headache. We provide a full report and clear footage, so you can see the state of your sewers for yourself.

Repairs without digging up your driveway

The thought of excavators tearing up your garden or block paving is enough to make anyone worry. Thankfully, we specialise in 'no-dig' repairs. Using a process called drain lining, we can essentially create a brand-new pipe inside your old one using a tough resin liner. It's faster, cheaper, and means your driveway stays exactly where it is. It's a bit like keyhole surgery for your drains. If the damage is too far gone, we can handle the excavation too, but we’ll always try the simplest, least disruptive fix first to save you time and money.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our drainage and water main services in Cheshire

How much does it cost for drain unblocking in Macclesfield?

+

The price usually depends on how bad the block is and what tools we need to use. We always give you a clear, upfront quote before we start any work, so there are no nasty surprises when the job is done.

What are the signs that I need emergency drain clearance?

+

If water is backing up into your house, your toilets won't flush, or you can see sewage overflowing from a manhole outside, you need to call us straight away. These issues can cause damage and are a health risk, so they need fixing fast.

Who is responsible for fixing a blocked drain?

+

Usually, you are responsible for the drains inside your property boundary that only serve your house. If a pipe is shared with a neighbour or is outside your boundary, it often falls under the local water company, like United Utilities. If you aren't sure, we can help you figure it out during an inspection.

Can you fix a drain without digging up my driveway?

+

In many cases, yes. We use patch lining and full-length relining to fix cracks and holes from the inside. This "no-dig" method is a great way to repair your drainage system without the mess and expense of traditional digging.

Why should I get a CCTV drain survey before buying a house?

+

The last thing you want after moving into a new home is a huge bill for a collapsed drain. A survey lets you see the condition of the pipes before you sign the contract. If there are problems, you can ask the seller to fix them or lower the price.

How do I stop my drains from blocking again?

+

The best way is to be careful about what goes down them. Avoid pouring fat or oil down the sink, and never flush wet wipes or nappies. Regular maintenance, like a quick water jetting every few years, also helps keep everything running smoothly.
