Drainage repair excavation with new pipework and inspection chamber in Macclesfield

Clear blocked drains with a quick local response

Imagine you've got a house full of guests and the downstairs toilet decides to pack up. It’s stressful, messy, and frankly, the last thing you need. Most homeowners we speak to in Macclesfield tell us they just want someone reliable who shows up when they say they will. We offer a rapid response for those emergency drainage moments, tackling foul water backups and gurgling pipes before they cause real damage. We don't just poke a rod down the hole and hope for the best; we find the root cause of the blockage to make sure it doesn't just come back next week.

High-pressure jetting for the toughest clogs

Sometimes a standard plunger or a bit of drain cleaner just won't cut it, especially when you're dealing with years of fat, grease, or stubborn scale build-up. That’s where our high-pressure water jetting comes in. We’re WJA (Water Jetting Association) certified, which means we know how to use serious power safely without damaging your pipework. It’s like a deep clean for your drainage system, blasting through everything from 'fatbergs' to intrusive tree roots. If your kitchen sink is draining slowly or your external gullies are overflowing, a proper jetting session is often the fastest way to get things moving again.

See the problem clearly with CCTV surveys

If you’ve got a recurring blockage, you might be wondering what's actually happening under the ground. Is it a cracked pipe, or have the neighbours' willow tree roots found a way in? Our state-of-the-art CCTV drain surveys take the guesswork out of the equation. We feed a high-definition camera into your system to get a real-time look at the condition of your pipes. This is a game-changer for people buying a new home in Tytherington or Macclesfield Forest too. A homebuyer drain survey can save you thousands by spotting structural issues before you sign on the dotted line, giving you a full report and total peace of mind.

Fix your pipes without digging up the garden

The old way of fixing a broken drain involved excavators, piles of mud, and a ruined driveway. Thankfully, we prefer a much neater approach. Using 'no-dig' or trenchless technology, we can often repair a pipe from the inside. We use patch lining—essentially a resin-impregnated sleeve that we slide into the damaged section and inflate. Once it cures, it creates a tough-as-nails 'pipe within a pipe.' It’s faster, cheaper, and means you won't have to spend a fortune replanting your flowerbeds or re-tarmacking the drive. Of course, if a pipe is totally collapsed, we can handle the excavation too, even taking care of the local council streetworks permits if we need to work in the road.

Replace old lead pipes for better water flow

Many of the older properties across Cheshire East still rely on lead water supply pipes. Not only can lead be a health concern, but these old pipes are also prone to leaks and often result in poor water pressure that makes your morning shower feel like a drizzle. As WIAPS-approved plumbers, we specialise in lead pipe replacement using modern, blue MDPE pipework. We can often use moling technology to 'tunnel' the new pipe underground, meaning we don't have to dig a trench across your lawn. You'll notice the difference in your water quality and pressure almost instantly.

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.
