Is a maintenance contract cheaper than reactive callouts?

Generally yes over time, since it avoids the emergency callout premium and the risk of business disruption or property damage from a full blockage.

Drain Cleaning across Dorset, Hampshire, Devon & the South.

Scheduled maintenance jetting to keep commercial and domestic drains flowing. A specialist team of drainage engineers based in Bournemouth, covering Dorset, Hampshire, Wiltshire, Somerset, Surrey and Devon — from first callout to written sign-off.

What's included

What's included.

Scheduled drain cleaning uses high-pressure jetting to clear grease, scale and silt build-up before it causes a blockage, delivered through a maintenance contract set at a quarterly, biannual or annual interval depending on the property. Where appropriate, we include a CCTV spot-check as part of the maintenance visit, and every visit ends with a written condition report so any developing issue is flagged early rather than discovered as an emergency.

Signs you need this

Who needs scheduled drain cleaning.

Commercial kitchens and food service premises are the most obvious candidates, given how quickly grease build-up can cause a blockage without regular attention. Properties with a history of recurring seasonal blockages, and landlords or letting agents managing multiple properties, also benefit from a scheduled approach rather than reacting to each individual callout as it happens. Older drainage systems that have never had a proactive clean are worth assessing too, since a baseline check often reveals a developing issue well before it becomes a full blockage.

How it works

Everything you need to know about drain cleaning.

1. Assessment

An initial assessment — including a CCTV survey if there's no drainage history on file — establishes a baseline and sets the right maintenance interval.

2. Scheduled visits

Regular jetting visits keep grease, scale and silt from building up to the point of blockage.

3. Condition reporting

Each visit ends with a short written note on condition, so recurring or worsening issues get flagged before they become an emergency callout.

FAQ

Answers before you call.

It depends on volume and grease load — a high-volume kitchen needs more frequent attention than a small café, and we recommend an interval after the first visit.
