Signs planned drainage visits could help
Planned visits are worth discussing when the same drain blocks again and again, when a commercial kitchen sends grease into the system, or when trees grow close to drain runs. Landlords with several properties, and managed sites with shared drains, often look at planned work too.
Other prompts include a change of tenant, a property with older clay drains, or a record of repeat visits for the same problem. A building that is changing use, such as an office becoming flats, can also be a good moment to review how the drains are looked after.
How planned drainage work is scoped
It usually starts with understanding the drains. A CCTV drain survey or a first inspection can show the layout, condition and any problem areas. From there, we can talk about what regular visits might include.
Depending on the property, visits could include jetting known problem runs, cleaning grease traps, clearing gullies and gutters, and lifting chambers to check flow. How often visits happen is something we discuss with you based on the property and its history.
What happens on each visit
On each visit we confirm access, lift the agreed chambers and check that water is flowing. Where build-up is found, it can be cleared or jetted at the time if that is part of the agreed work.
Before we leave, we explain what we found and point out anything that has changed since the last visit, such as new build-up, a damaged cover or signs of a defect that may need a survey or repair. If a problem needs more than the agreed work, we will talk it through with you first.

Questions about planned maintenance
How often should drains be maintained?
There is no single answer. A busy kitchen, a building with trees close to the drains and a quiet office will all need different intervals. We can suggest a frequency after looking at the drains and the history of problems.
Is planned maintenance only for commercial property?
No. Landlords and homeowners with a recurring problem, such as roots or a run that silts up, can also discuss planned visits. Most planned work is for rented, commercial and managed property, but it depends on the drains.
Will planned visits stop blockages happening?
Planned visits can catch build-up and changes earlier, but blockages can still happen, especially if wipes, fat or other waste go down the drain. If a problem comes up between visits, call or WhatsApp us.
What do you need to scope planned work?
The property addresses, the type of use, a summary of past drainage problems, any drainage plans or survey reports, and how access works at each site. A list of known problem areas is helpful.
Do tenants need to be home for a visit?
Outside chambers can often be reached without anyone home, but internal access needs to be arranged in advance. Landlords should give tenants notice in line with the tenancy agreement and let us know of any access codes or keys.
