Before it blocks
What drain maintenance in Dorset, Hampshire & Wiltshire covers
A pub kitchen, a care home, a school and a rented house all have the same problem with their drains: nobody thinks about them until one blocks, and then it is a bad day at a bad time. Planned maintenance moves the work earlier. We jet the drain, clear fat, silt and debris, cut back roots and check it is clear before we leave. Where we suspect something more, we recommend a camera survey and tell you what it costs first, and you decide. Based in Ringwood, we work across Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire, and a local hospitality business calls us back again and again.

Jetting, descaling and root cuttingMaintenance contract or call-out: the honest difference
If a drain has blocked once, a call-out is usually the right answer, and we will tell you so. A contract earns its place where a blocked drain costs you more than the drain itself, such as a kitchen that has to close or a tenant left waiting.
| Maintenance contract | Call-out when it blocks | |
|---|---|---|
| When we come | On a schedule agreed with you | When the drain has already blocked |
| Call-out fee | None | None |
| Price | Agreed before we start | Agreed before we start |
| What we deal with | Fat, silt, scale and roots cleared before they cause a blockage | The blockage in front of us, then a camera survey if the cause needs finding |
| Who it suits | Pubs, care homes, schools and letting agents | A one-off blockage at home or in a rental |

Drain maintenance for pubs, care homes, schools and letting agents
We take on drain maintenance contracts for the kind of property where a blockage is a problem for other people as well as you: pubs and other hospitality businesses, care homes, schools and the rental properties a letting agent looks after. The common thread is that a blocked drain there is not a private inconvenience. It closes a kitchen, or leaves a tenant waiting, and it usually happens at the worst moment.
A visit is built from the jobs we do every day: high-pressure jetting, descaling concrete, scale and hardened fat, cutting and removing roots, and clearing fat, oil, grease, silt and debris. We use the method that suits each drain, then check it is clear before we leave, for example with drain dye. If we suspect a deeper fault, we recommend a camera survey and agree it with you first. That survey comes with the footage, photos and a full written report, so the decision about what happens next is yours and rests on evidence.
How often we visit is agreed with you, because a school and a busy pub kitchen do not need the same schedule. We are based in Ringwood and work across Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire, including Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch, Wimborne Minster, Ferndown, Southampton, Eastleigh, Winchester, Portsmouth, Romsey and Lymington. To talk through a contract, ring us with the property and what you want looked after. For most jobs we will give you the price, or our labour rate, before we set off.
