Get your drains flowing again fast

Most of the calls we get from homeowners in Middleton and Alkrington are for classic blocked drains. It might be a build-up of fats and oils from the Sunday roast, or perhaps those 'flushable' wipes that aren't actually flushable. Whatever is causing the backup, we've got the gear to clear it. From simple sink clogs to main sewer lines, we use professional-grade tools that do the job properly. We know how stressful it is when things aren't draining right, which is why we aim to get to you quickly, often on the same day, to get things moving again.

Blast through stubborn clogs with water jetting

Sometimes a simple drain rod just won't cut it, especially when you're dealing with years of scale build-up or stubborn tree roots that have found their way into your pipes. That’s where our high-pressure water jetting comes in. We’re WJA-certified, which means we know exactly how to use high-pressure water to scrub the inside of your pipes clean without causing any damage. It’s like a deep clean for your drainage system, blasting away fatbergs and debris to restore your pipes to their original capacity. It's the most effective way to prevent future blockages from forming.

See exactly what’s happening underground

Ever wondered why that one drain keeps blocking every few months? Instead of guessing, we use state-of-the-art CCTV drain surveys to take a proper look. We send a high-definition camera right into the heart of the system to spot cracks, root intrusion, or even collapsed sections of pipe. If you’re buying a new home in Middleton, a CCTV survey is a must-have. You wouldn't buy a car without looking under the bonnet, so why buy a house without checking the drains? We’ll provide you with a full structural report and clear footage so you know exactly what you’re dealing with before you sign on the dotted line.

Fix your pipes without digging up the garden

The old way of fixing a broken pipe involved bringing in a digger and ruining your driveway or lawn. Thankfully, those days are mostly gone. We specialise in 'no-dig' drain repairs using patch lining. Imagine we’re essentially creating a brand-new, tough pipe inside your old, damaged one. It’s faster, much cheaper than a full excavation, and leaves your garden looking exactly how we found it. Of course, if a pipe is completely collapsed, we can handle the excavation too—we even sort out the council permits if we need to work near the road in Rochdale.

Upgrade your water supply and lead pipes

Does your shower feel more like a trickle than a power wash? Many older properties in Middleton still have original lead water mains, which can lead to low pressure and health concerns. As WIAPS-approved plumbers, we’re qualified to replace those old lead pipes with modern, blue MDPE pipework. Not only does this usually improve your water pressure, but it also gives you peace of mind about the quality of the water your family is drinking. If you’ve spotted a damp patch on your drive or a sudden spike in your water bill, give us a shout—we’re experts at tracing and repairing hidden water main leaks.

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.
