2

We choose the most appropriate clearance method — rodding, jetting, or mechanical cutting — for your drain type and blockage.

Our approach in Filton
We assess the blockage type and drain condition, apply appropriate clearance, verify flow, and advise on structural remediation if pitch fibre or root damage is found.
Local tip: Recurring drain blockages in Filton's 1960s and 1970s properties should prompt a CCTV survey. Deformed pitch fibre pipe is the hidden cause in many cases — clearance treats the symptom while relining treats the cause.
