Clearing blocked drains without the drama

A blocked toilet or a gurgling drain is more than just a nuisance; it's something that can bring your whole morning to a standstill. Most homeowners we speak to try the plunger first, but sometimes the problem is deeper than a bit of too much loo roll. We use professional-grade high-pressure water jetting to blast through the stubborn stuff—think fat, grease, and even those pesky tree roots that have found a way into your pipes. As WJA-certified engineers, we know how to use the right pressure to clear the blockage safely without damaging your drainage system. From simple sink unblocks to complex commercial systems, we'll get it sorted quickly and leave everything tidy.

Honest CCTV surveys for peace of mind

Ever wondered what's actually happening under your garden? If you've got a recurring blockage that keeps coming back every few months, there’s usually a structural reason for it. Our CCTV drain surveys take the guesswork out of the equation. We send a high-definition camera down into the depths to see exactly what’s going on—be it a cracked joint, a collapsed section, or root intrusion. If you're currently in the middle of buying a house in Cheshire, a Homebuyer Drain Survey is a must. It’s a lot better to know about a faulty drain before you sign the papers than to move in and find a costly surprise under the driveway. We provide full reports that are perfect for insurance claims or just for your own peace of mind.

Fixing pipes without digging up your garden

The word 'drain repair' usually conjures up images of diggers, piles of mud, and a ruined lawn. But it doesn't always have to be that way. Whenever we can, we use 'no-dig' or trenchless technology to fix things from the inside. We can install a patch liner—essentially a new, tough pipe inside your old one—using resin that hardens to seal any cracks or leaks. It's faster, cheaper, and means your driveway stays exactly where it is. Of course, if a pipe is completely collapsed, we might have to get the shovels out. If that happens, don't worry—we handle everything from the initial excavation to the final surface reinstatement, and we'll even sort out the council permits if we're working near the street.

Expert water main and lead pipe replacement

Is your water pressure feeling a bit weak lately? Or perhaps you're worried about the old lead pipes in your property? As WIAPS-approved plumbers, we’re qualified to work on the private supply pipes that connect your home to the main network. Replacing old lead pipes with modern, blue MDPE pipework isn't just about safety; it often makes a massive difference to your water flow. We also specialise in locating and fixing hidden leaks that might be causing damp patches or an unexpectedly high water bill. Because we’re approved by the water industry scheme, you can trust that our work meets all the necessary regulations, giving you one less thing to worry about.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What counts as a drainage emergency?

+

If wastewater is backing up into your home, you can’t use your toilets, or you have a burst water main causing a flood, that’s an emergency. We offer rapid call-outs across Macclesfield to get these issues sorted immediately.

Are blocked drains my responsibility or the water company’s?

+

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’s often the responsibility of United Utilities. We can help you work this out during a site visit.

How much does a CCTV drain survey cost in Macclesfield?

+

The cost depends on the size of the property and how much detail you need. A basic look to find a blockage is different from a full written report for a home purchase. Call us for a quick quote based on what you need.

Why should I choose pipe relining over digging?

+

Pipe relining is almost always the better option if the pipe is still structurally sound. It saves you the cost of re-turfing your garden or re-paving your driveway, and the new lining is often stronger than the original pipe.

Can you fix low water pressure?

+

Yes. Low pressure is often caused by old, narrow lead pipes or a leak on your supply line. We can check for leaks and, if needed, replace your old pipes with modern ones to boost the flow to your home.
