Drain Jetting Cost in London

Typical Drain Jetting Costs

Drain jetting costs in London typically range from:

• Residential jetting (single drain run): £150 - £250
• Extended jetting (multiple drains/longer runs): £200 - £350
• Commercial kitchen jetting: £200 - £400
• Scheduled maintenance jetting: Often discounted for regular contracts

Jetting is often combined with other work—if we're already on site for blockage clearance, adding jetting to thoroughly clean the pipe may cost less than a standalone visit.

When Is Drain Jetting Needed?

Jetting is recommended when:

• Heavy grease buildup won't shift with standard rodding
• Scale deposits are restricting pipe capacity
• Root masses need cutting and flushing
• A thorough clean is needed before drain lining
• Preventive maintenance for commercial kitchens
• Recurring blockages suggest buildup on pipe walls

What Affects Jetting Costs?

Length of Drain Run

Longer pipes take more time to jet properly. A short run from a kitchen sink may take 30 minutes; a full domestic drainage system could take 1-2 hours.

Severity of Buildup

Light maintenance cleaning is quicker than clearing years of accumulated grease. Severe buildup may need multiple passes.

Access Difficulties

Drains with limited access points take longer. We may need to work from multiple locations to achieve complete coverage.

Jetting vs Other Methods

Jetting costs more than simple rodding, but achieves a much more thorough clean. For stubborn blockages or recurring problems, jetting provides better value because it properly addresses the underlying buildup rather than just clearing a path through it.

For regular commercial kitchen maintenance, scheduled jetting contracts often provide better value than emergency call-outs when drains eventually block.

What's Included

Professional drain jetting typically includes:

• Assessment of drain condition
• High-pressure jetting of affected drains
• Removal of grease, scale, and debris
• Confirmation of restored flow
• Advice on maintenance intervals
