Services
Drain Unblocking
Our engineers clear blocked drains using high-pressure water jetting equipment, removing obstructions caused by tree roots, grease buildup, or foreign objects. The service operates 24/7 across Manchester and Cheshire, with most jobs completed within hours. Repairs are often carried out without excavation, minimising disruption to properties.
CCTV Surveys
Advanced CCTV technology identifies drain defects, blockages, and leaks without excavation. Real-time footage and sonar tracing pinpoint issues, with reports emailed instantly. This non-invasive method helps plan repairs efficiently, reducing costs and environmental impact for residential and commercial clients.
Drain Relining
Broken drains are repaired using trenchless relining techniques, creating a watertight inner pipe without digging. This method restores drainage systems rapidly, with minimal disruption to surfaces. Ideal for structural damage caused by subsidence or tree root intrusion in Manchester properties.
Root Cutting
High-pressure water jets cut through invasive tree roots blocking drains. The service prevents recurring issues by clearing root systems and sealing damaged pipework. Most operations complete within a single visit, restoring drainage flow without excavation.
Maintenance Contracts
Planned maintenance prevents drain blockages in commercial kitchens, restaurants, and food production facilities. Regular high-pressure cleaning removes grease buildup, while inspections identify potential issues early. Contracts reduce emergency call-outs and long-term repair costs for businesses in Manchester and Cheshire.

Barry from Drainflow Manchester is an absolute magician! From the first phone call I knew this was the only person for the job! He listened to me and didnt fill me with lots of ambiguous quotes before arriving - he told me except what Id be looking to pay (He was much better priced than any other company Id spoken to also) and he arrived within two hours! A real gent and extremely passionate about his job. Sorted my pipe blockage within seconds with the pressure jet and was kind enough to give me a full cctv survey of my drains and explained how they all worked. A real honest tradesmen
