Do you provide fixed prices for drainage work?

What areas of Lancashire do you cover for drainage services?

We cover Preston and the wider Lancashire area including Leyland, Chorley, Blackburn, Burnley, Garstang, Longridge, Penwortham, Bamber Bridge, and surrounding towns and villages.

Is your drainage work guaranteed?

Yes. All our drainage work carries a 12-month guarantee as standard. For drain relining and structural repairs, we offer longer guarantees depending on the work carried out.

Can you clear tree roots from drains?

Yes. We use high-pressure water jetting combined with specialist root-cutting attachments to remove tree roots from drainage pipes. We can also carry out a no-dig pipe repair to prevent future root ingress.

What is drain jetting and how does it work?

Drain jetting (also called high-pressure water jetting or hydro jetting) uses a powerful jet of water at pressures up to 4,000 PSI to blast blockages clear and thoroughly clean the inside of drainage pipes. Unlike rodding, jetting cleans the entire pipe wall, removing grease, scale, and root masses.

How much does drain jetting cost in Preston?

Drain jetting in Preston typically costs between £80 and £250 for a domestic drain, depending on the severity of the blockage and the length of pipe to be cleaned. Commercial drain jetting is priced on a job-by-job basis. Call 01772 393 127 for a fixed quote.

Is drain jetting better than drain rodding?

For most blockages, drain jetting is more effective than rodding because it cleans the entire pipe wall rather than just breaking up the blockage. Jetting removes grease, scale, and root masses that rodding leaves behind, reducing the risk of a recurring blockage.

Can drain jetting damage my pipes?

When carried out by a qualified drainage engineer, drain jetting is safe for most types of drainage pipe including clay, PVC, and cast iron. We always assess the condition of the pipe before jetting to ensure the pressure used is appropriate.

How often should drains be jet washed?

For residential properties, drain jetting is typically recommended every 12 to 18 months as preventative maintenance. Commercial kitchens and food businesses should have their drains jet washed every 3 to 6 months to prevent grease blockages.

Real Job: Commercial Grease Trap Cleared, Fishergate Restaurant (May 2026)

A restaurant on Fishergate in Preston called us after their kitchen drain had slowed to a trickle and a foul smell was coming from the grease trap. The trap had not been serviced in over 18 months. We used a combination of high-pressure jetting at 4,000 PSI and a specialist rotating nozzle to clear the trap and the 6-metre run of 100mm pipe connecting it to the main drain. The job took approximately 2.5 hours. We also recommended a quarterly maintenance schedule to prevent recurrence.

Outcome: Grease trap and drain fully cleared. Quarterly maintenance schedule agreed. No further issues reported.

Customer Reviews for Drain Jetting Preston

"Called HydroFlow at 9pm on a Sunday — kitchen flooding, sewage smell, the works. They were at my door in under 45 minutes. The engineer showed me on his camera exactly where the blockage was (fat build-up about 3 metres in) and cleared it in 40 minutes. Price was exactly what they quoted on the phone. I've recommended them to three neighbours since."

"Got a CCTV survey done before exchanging on a 1960s semi in Penwortham. The building survey hadn't flagged anything but HydroFlow found a cracked lateral pipe under the garden and root ingress at two joints. Used the report to knock £2,500 off the asking price. The repair cost £780. Best £180 I've ever spent on a survey."
