Commercial Drain Servicing
Scheduled drain servicing for commercial properties — preventing blockages, ensuring compliance, and protecting your site from costly emergency repairs.
Planned Drain Servicing That Prevents Costly Emergencies
Most drainage callouts occur only after a problem has become impossible to ignore.
Most planned preventative maintenance (PPM) schedules in facilities management include drainage inspections every 6–12 months, depending on site usage, risk and previous issues.
PPM isn’t based on time alone; it’s based on risk, usage and the cost of disruption.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Often Should Commercial Drains Be Serviced?
Most commercial properties benefit from drainage servicing every 6–12 months. Higher-risk environments such as kitchens or food handling sites may need servicing every 3–6 months.
What's Included in a Commercial Drain Servicing Visit?
A typical visit includes CCTV inspection, high-pressure jetting, gully and interceptor cleaning, and a written report with any recommendations.
Do I Need a PPM Contract or Can I Book One-Off Visits?
Both options are available. We recommend a PPM contract for most commercial sites as it reduces reactive costs and keeps your drainage compliant year-round.
What's the Difference Between Reactive Drain Clearing and Planned Maintenance?
Reactive clearing fixes the immediate blockage. Planned maintenance identifies and prevents the underlying causes — saving time, money, and disruption in the long run.
Can Drain Servicing Help Reduce My Insurance Premiums?
Maintaining records of planned drainage maintenance can support insurance compliance and in some cases reduce your risk profile with insurers.
How Do I Know if My Site Needs More Frequent Maintenance?
Repeated blockages, foul odours, slow-draining floor sinks, or standing water near entrances are all signs that your current schedule isn't frequent enough.
What Happens During a CCTV Drain Survey?
A camera is inserted into the drain to inspect the internal condition of pipework. We identify blockages, root ingress, cracks, or misaligned joints and provide a report with findings.
Can You Service Drains on Multiple Sites Under One Contract?
Yes. We manage PPM schedules across multiple sites for facilities managers and property portfolios, with centralised reporting and a single point of contact.
