Signs your drains need attention

Have you noticed a bit of a pong lately? Sometimes it’s a faint foul odour coming from the bathroom, or maybe your shower water is taking an age to disappear. Most homeowners we speak to in Wilmslow tell us they ignored the first few signs until the water actually started backing up out of the gully in the garden. If your pipes are making strange gurgling sounds or your outdoor manhole looks like it's about to overflow, it’s time to give us a shout. Dealing with it early usually means a quick fix rather than an expensive emergency later on. We handle everything from fatbergs in kitchen pipes to stubborn wet wipes that have caused a backup in your main sewer line.

Smart tech for stubborn clogs

Gone are the days of just poking a rod down a hole and hoping for the best. While traditional rodding has its place, we prefer using high-pressure water jetting (HPWJ) to really clear things out. It’s like a power wash for the inside of your pipes, blasting away grease, scale, and even those pesky tree roots that love to find their way into Cheshire’s older drainage systems. If a blockage keeps coming back, we’ll pop a state-of-the-art CCTV camera down there. It gives us a bird's-eye view of what’s actually happening underground. We’ll show you the footage so you can see exactly where the problem is—no guesswork, just honest answers and a clear plan to fix it.

Fixing pipes without the mess

Imagine you've just had a beautiful new driveway laid, and then you find out a pipe has cracked underneath it. The thought of digging it all up is enough to make anyone wince. That’s where our 'no-dig' solutions come in. Using clever patch lining technology, we can essentially create a new pipe inside your old one without ever picking up a shovel. It’s faster, cleaner, and far less disruptive for your home or business. Of course, if a pipe has completely collapsed, we’ve got the kit and the experience to handle a full excavation and repair, making sure we leave everything neat and tidy once the job's done.

Expert help for Wilmslow businesses

If you run a restaurant, shop, or office in Wilmslow, a drainage issue isn't just a nuisance—it can shut you down for the day. We provide a discreet and rapid commercial drainage service to keep your business running smoothly. From scheduled maintenance to clear out grease traps to emergency call-outs for blocked toilets in staff washrooms, we’ve got you covered. We’re fully insured with £5 million in public liability cover and hold all the necessary WJA and CSCS certifications, so you know the work is being handled by professionals who take site safety seriously.

Knowing who's responsible for what

One question we get asked a lot is: "Do I have to pay for this, or is it United Utilities?" It can be a bit confusing. Generally speaking, you're responsible for the pipes that only serve your property within your boundaries. Once a pipe is shared with a neighbour or leaves your property line, it usually becomes the responsibility of the local water authority. If you’re unsure, don't worry—we can help you figure it out during an inspection. If it’s your responsibility, we’ll give you a clear, fixed-price quote with no hidden extras. If it's the water company's problem, we'll let you know so you don't end up paying for work you don't need.

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.
