No national call centres, no long waiting lists — just professional drainage services from engineers based in Stoke-on-Trent.

The domestic drainage challenges in Stoke-on-Trent are shaped by the city's industrial heritage. A large proportion of the housing stock across the Six Towns was built for the pottery industry workforce during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. These properties typically have clay drain pipes, brick-built inspection chambers, and cast-iron or lead above-ground waste fittings — all of which are approaching or exceeding their design life. Combined with Stoke-on-Trent's hard water supply, which accelerates limescale accumulation, drainage problems are a frequent reality for homeowners across Hanley, Burslem, Tunstall, Longton, Fenton, and the surrounding areas.

Drainage Clearance for Homes

Blocked drains are our most common call-out. We clear blockages in kitchen sinks, bathroom waste pipes, toilets, baths, showers, external gullies, and underground drains using high-pressure water jetting and drain rods. For emergency blockages we aim to reach you within 1-2 hours. For less urgent appointments, we offer same-day and next-day slots seven days a week.

CCTV Surveys for Homeowners

A CCTV drain survey is the definitive way to understand what is happening inside your drainage system. We push a camera through the drain from the nearest access point and record footage of the full pipe run. This is essential for diagnosing recurring blockages, assessing pipe condition before a property purchase, planning extensions or landscaping near drain runs, and verifying repairs after work has been carried out.

Drain Repairs and Relining

When a CCTV survey identifies structural damage — cracked pipes, misaligned joints, collapsed sections, or root intrusion — we carry out repairs using the most appropriate method for the specific defect and pipe material. Drain relining (cured-in-place pipe lining) allows us to restore structurally damaged pipes without excavation in most cases, saving homeowners the cost and disruption of digging up driveways or gardens.

Hard Water Descaling

The hard water supply in Stoke-on-Trent deposits limescale on drain pipe walls, progressively narrowing the bore and creating surfaces that trap grease and debris. Properties with recurring blockages that return quickly after clearance often have limescale as the underlying cause. Our drain descaling service uses specialist jetting nozzles and mechanical tools to remove scale build-up and restore pipes to their original capacity.
