High pressure water jetting in Derby
We jet drains at high pressure across Derby and Derbyshire. The kit shifts stubborn blockages and restores full flow.
High-pressure jetting is one of the most effective methods for clearing grease, debris, scale build-up, and other obstructions from pipes. It delivers a deep clean inside the drainage system, helping to prevent recurring blockages and maintain long-term performance.
Our experienced engineers use specialist jetting equipment to quickly and safely clear residential and commercial drains with minimal disruption.
First Aid at work
Workplaces with higher risk environments should always have appropriate first aid provision in place to respond quickly to accidents or medical emergencies.
A first aid needs assessment helps determine the level of cover required based on workplace size, hazards, and operational risks. This ensures businesses are properly prepared for incidents such as injuries, sudden illness, or other unexpected emergencies.
Trained first aid support makes a site safer. It cuts response times and gets staff immediate care.
Site Supervision
Our site supervision services ensure drainage and water infrastructure projects are delivered safely, efficiently, and to a high professional standard.
We oversee all stages of work to ensure proper planning, compliance, and quality control throughout the project lifecycle. This helps maintain smooth coordination on-site while ensuring that technical requirements, safety standards, and environmental considerations are fully met.
We have wide experience on drainage and water infrastructure. That covers installations, maintenance and system upgrades across Derby and Derbyshire.
Safe 2 site drain inspection
We use specialist CCTV camera technology to safely inspect drains, sewers, and lateral pipework without unnecessary disruption to your property.
It is a fast, cost-effective way to check the state of your drainage. Our engineers can pinpoint blockages, damage and structural defects.
Remote inspection equipment lets us survey lateral drains from the mainline. That often avoids digging, or even entering your property.
Confined space training & safety
Our engineers are trained for confined spaces. That includes manholes, chambers and other restricted areas needing extra precautions.
Where entry is needed, breathing apparatus and safety equipment are used. That keeps inspections, debris removal and repairs safe.
All equipment is regularly inspected, maintained, and updated to meet current safety standards and regulations, ensuring full compliance and operational reliability.
The team also gets ongoing health and safety training. It covers the procedures that keep every site operation safe.
Water network theory training
Drains are helpful for water management in many ways.
Their job is to take unwanted water away from gutters, streets and small ponds. That happens before it can do damage.
They also protect houses by diverting water away from the foundations of homes through drainage pipes.
Drainage systems also help to prevent flooding from pollution by carrying large volumes of water away from an area quickly.
A connected network of drains makes this possible. It also links to rivers and lakes.
Our engineers are trained in water network theory. It helps them weigh the risks and the options on each job.
Continuous Professional Development
Every engineer takes part in continuous professional development (CPD). It keeps their skills current as the trade changes.
This helps to ensure that we can provide our clients with the best possible service.
We are constantly striving to improve our methods and procedures, and this is only possible through the dedication of our team. If you have any suggestions on how we can improve, we would love to hear from you.

Drain Lining
Drain Lining is a trenchless technology used to repair sewer lines, storm drains, and culverts without having to excavate.
This is an ideal solution when the pipe is deteriorating, but the surrounding soil is still in good condition. Drain lining involves pulling a felt sock soaked in resin through the damaged pipe.
The sock expands and hardens inside the pipe, creating a new pipe within the old one.
Drain lining is less disruptive than traditional drain repair methods, and it can be used in a variety of situations, including:
– Sewer lines that are cracked, root-infested, or otherwise damaged
– Culverts that are blocked or collapsing
– Storm drains that are leaking or backed up
Drain lining is a cost-effective and efficient way to repair your drainage system without having to excavate.
