Why Chadderton homeowners choose our specialist drainage services.

When you are looking for someone to fix a burst pipe or a blocked toilet, you want to know they actually know their stuff. We are not just handymen with a plunger. Our engineers are WJA-certified for high-pressure water jetting and WIAPS-approved for water main work. This means we have met the strict standards required by the water industry to work on your supply pipes safely. Plus, with five million pounds in public liability insurance, you can relax knowing your property is in safe hands. We have spent years helping neighbours in Chadderton and nearby Royton resolve everything from tree root intrusion to foul-smelling grease build-ups, always with a transparent price and a friendly smile.

High-pressure water jetting for those really tough blockages.

Sometimes, standard drain rods just will not cut it. If you have got a stubborn blockage caused by years of fat, grease, or even invasive tree roots, our high-pressure water jetting is the answer. It is a bit like a power wash for the inside of your pipes. It does not just poke a hole through the mess; it cleans the pipe walls properly to help prevent the problem from coming back next month. It is fast, incredibly effective, and because our team is WJA trained, we know exactly how to use the equipment safely without causing any damage to your drainage system.

Stop the guesswork with a professional CCTV drain survey.

Ever wondered why that one drain keeps blocking up every few months? It is incredibly frustrating. Instead of just treating the symptom, we use state-of-the-art CCTV cameras to find the actual cause. We will feed a high-definition camera down the line to see if there is a crack, a collapsed section, or a joint that has moved. If you are moving house in Chadderton or Oldham, our homebuyer drain surveys are a lifesaver. Most standard surveys will not look underground, and the last thing you want is to move into your new home only to find a five-figure repair bill waiting for you in the sewers.

Modern no-dig drain repairs that save your driveway.

In the old days, fixing a broken pipe meant hiring a digger and tearing up your garden or driveway. Thankfully, those days are mostly gone. We specialise in no-dig or trenchless technology, such as pipe relining and patch lining. Essentially, we can install a new, tough resin pipe inside your old one without any excavation. It is faster, cheaper, and means you will not have a mess to clear up afterwards. Of course, if a pipe has completely collapsed, we can handle the excavation too, including any local council streetworks permits if we need to work near the road.

Sorted: Leaking water mains and lead pipe replacement.

If you live in one of the older terrace houses around Chadderton or Oldham, there is a good chance your water is still being delivered through old lead pipes. Many homeowners find that their water pressure is low or they are worried about the health implications of lead. As WIAPS-approved plumbers, we can replace that old pipework with modern, blue MDPE pipes. We also handle emergency burst pipe repairs and leaking stop taps. If you have noticed a damp patch on your lawn that never goes away, give us a call; we can perform expert water main repairs and trace the leak before it causes any damage to your foundations.

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.
