Drain Jetting in London
High-pressure water jetting is the most effective way to clear stubborn blockages and clean drains thoroughly. We use professional equipment that delivers results domestic jetters can't match—clearing blockages that have defeated other methods and leaving pipes genuinely clean, not just passable.
When Drain Jetting Is Needed
- Heavy grease buildup in kitchen drains that won't shift with rodding
- Scale deposits in hard water areas reducing pipe capacity
- Root masses that reform after mechanical rodding
- Silt accumulation in external drains causing slow drainage
- Preparation for drain lining—pipes must be clean for liner adhesion
- Routine maintenance for commercial kitchens and restaurants
How Drain Jetting Works
Our jetting equipment delivers water at pressures up to 4,000 PSI through specialist nozzles. Different nozzle designs are used for different situations—forward-firing jets for blockages, rotating jets for cleaning, and root-cutting nozzles for root intrusion.
The high-pressure water cuts through grease, blasts away scale, and severs roots. Debris is flushed downstream, leaving the pipe genuinely clean—not just with a narrow channel through the blockage like chemical treatments often achieve.
Benefits of Professional Jetting
- Clears blockages that other methods can't shift
- Cleans the full diameter of the pipe, not just a channel
- Safe for most pipe materials when used correctly
- Environmentally friendly—no chemicals required
- Long-lasting results compared to temporary fixes
- Can be combined with CCTV to verify results
London-Specific Applications
Restaurant drains in Soho, café waste lines in Shoreditch, residential kitchens in Fulham—fat buildup is universal in London. Regular jetting prevents the emergency calls that come when drains finally block completely.
We provide scheduled jetting services for commercial kitchens and properties with known buildup problems. Preventive jetting every few months is far cheaper than emergency call-outs and business disruption.
Jetting for Different Situations
Residential Drains
For home drains, jetting provides thorough cleaning that extends the time between blockages. Particularly effective for kitchen drains with grease buildup and bathroom drains with soap and hair accumulation.
Commercial Kitchens
Restaurants and cafés generate significant grease. Regular scheduled jetting keeps drains flowing and prevents hygiene issues. We can work around your operating hours.
External Drains
Garden drains, car park gullies, and surface water systems benefit from periodic jetting to clear accumulated silt and debris.
