Services
Drain Clearances
Our drain clearance specialists resolve domestic and commercial blockages using manual rodding and mechanical methods. Available 24/7, we tackle obstructions caused by grease buildup, non-flushable items, and root intrusions. With rapid response times and advanced equipment, we restore proper drainage flow efficiently while minimising property disruption.
CCTV Surveys
Utilising state-of-the-art CCTV technology, we conduct comprehensive drain inspections to identify blockages, cracks, and structural issues. Our high-resolution imaging provides precise diagnostics, enabling targeted repairs and preventing future problems. This non-invasive method ensures accurate assessments without excavation requirements.
Jet Vac Services
Combining high-pressure water jetting with vacuum extraction, our Jet Vac services effectively clear stubborn blockages and clean drainage systems. This environmentally friendly solution removes debris, grease, and tree roots from sewers and septic tanks, restoring optimal flow without chemical usage.
Drain Repairs
We offer traditional excavation and modern trenchless drain relining solutions for damaged pipework. Our minimally invasive relining technique creates durable, seamless replacements within existing pipes, reducing costs and disruption while extending drainage system lifespan.
Root Intrusion Removal
Our specialists remove tree root intrusions using advanced cutting tools and high-pressure jetting. We address both immediate blockages and long-term prevention through pipe relining and strategic maintenance, ensuring lasting solutions for root-related drainage issues.

A CCTV survey of the drains.. very good communication, prompt arrival and a very good job. Even saved my neighbours and myself a lot of trouble by discovering badly backed up drains and advising getting Yorkshire Water out on an emergency call. Recommended.

Alternative drainage came out to me within a hour of calling, their engineer was really helpful and thorough. I would definitely use them again and recommend to anyone in a similar situation.
