Pre-Planned Drain Maintenance
A pre-planned drain maintenance contract puts your drains on a fixed visit schedule, so they get jetted and camera-checked on a date you set rather than when they flood. We run these plans for landlords, letting agents, pubs, restaurants, care homes and commercial sites across Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire. You pick the interval, we keep the line clear, and you get a written report after every visit.
One planned clean a year usually costs less than a single out-of-hours unblock, and you get a free no-obligation quote on the schedule before you commit to anything. We are rated 5 stars on Google and we answer the phone 24/7 across Bournemouth, Southampton and Salisbury.

What a maintenance plan includes
Every plan is built around two jobs: a scheduled high-pressure jet to scour out grease, silt and scale before it sets, and a CCTV check so we spot a cracked joint or root ingress while it is still cheap to fix. We agree the visit dates up front, turn up on them, and send you a short report with the camera footage each time.
How often we visit depends on the line. A busy commercial kitchen running heavy fats might need quarterly attention; a block of flats or a quiet office is often once a year. We set the interval to the actual load on the drain, not a one-size schedule, and we cross-check it against what the camera shows after the first clean.

Who needs a drain maintenance plan?
If a blocked drain would cost you money, custom or a tenant complaint, a plan earns its place. The properties we put on a schedule are the ones where a surprise blockage is more than an inconvenience, it shuts a kitchen, floods a car park or lands a landlord with an out-of-hours bill.
In practice that means a handful of clear cases:
- Landlords and letting agents who do not want a 2am call-out eating into the yield on a rental, and who need to show the drains were maintained at check-out.
- Pubs, restaurants and takeaways running fat, oil and food waste through the line every service, where grease sets hard and a blockage closes the kitchen.
- Care homes, schools and HMOs with shared soil pipes and high daily use, where hygiene and continuity matter and a backed-up drain is a real problem.
- Commercial and managed sites, retail parks, offices and industrial units, with gullies, channel drains and interceptors that silt up and overflow in heavy rain.
- Any property that keeps blocking, where the same drain has gone two or three times and reactive call-outs are adding up.
If you are managing the drainage for a property like this and you would rather it was a scheduled job than a panic, that is exactly what a plan is for.
Why prevention beats waiting for the next call-out
A drain rarely collapses out of nowhere. It silts up, narrows, catches a wipe or a root, and then one busy day it backs up, usually at the worst time. Clearing it reactively means an emergency rate, a disrupted site and no idea whether it will go again next month.
A planned jet keeps the bore clear so it never reaches that point, and the camera check tells you whether the line is sound or whether something underneath needs sorting once. Catch a cracked joint on a scheduled visit and it is a quick drain lining and patching job; miss it and the same fault becomes a collapsed run and an excavation. Maintenance is the cheap end of that curve.
How a maintenance plan works
Three stages: we survey the line and set the schedule, then keep to it. After the first visit you know the interval is right because the camera tells us.
Step 1: We survey the line
We run a camera through the drains first so we know the layout, the pipe material and where grease, silt or roots are already gathering. That baseline is what we measure every future visit against, and it is the start of a proper CCTV drainage survey record for the site.
Step 2: We set the visit schedule
From what the camera shows and how the site is used, we set the interval and the dates, monthly, quarterly, twice a year or annually. You get the schedule and the price in writing before anything is booked in.
Step 3: We jet, check and report
On each scheduled date we jet the line clear, re-run the camera and send you a short report with the footage. If anything is changing, a joint opening up or a root coming back, you hear about it while it is still a small job, not after it floods.
What we do on a maintenance visit
A planned visit is the same core work each time, with extras added where the line needs them. A typical schedule covers:
- High-pressure jetting to scour grease, fat, silt and scale off the pipe wall
- A CCTV check on the same lines each visit, so you can see the condition trending over time
- Gully, channel and interceptor cleaning so surface water still drains in heavy rain
- Grease trap and kitchen line servicing for food premises
- Recurring root cutting where a line takes regrowth between visits
- A written report and footage after every visit for your records
If the camera ever shows a fault the jet cannot fix, we quote that work separately and you decide whether to go ahead, so a maintenance visit never turns into an open-ended bill.
What you can fold into a plan
Scheduled CCTV checks. Same lines, same intervals, footage kept on file. It is how you catch a joint starting to fail before it becomes a drain repair.
Planned jetting. The workhorse of any plan. A timed jet keeps the bore clear so the line never silts down to the point where it blocks.
Surface water upkeep. Car parks, yards and forecourts flood when gullies and channels silt up. We clear them on a schedule that beats the wet season.
Commercial and managed sites. One point of contact, one schedule across a portfolio, and reports you can hand to a landlord, an auditor or an incoming tenant.
Record keeping. Every visit is documented, so when a drain does need work you have the history that shows what changed and when.
Why landlords and site managers keep us on the schedule
A maintenance plan is only worth paying for if it actually stops blockages. Ours does, because we set the interval off the camera and the real load on the line, not a default the office picks. Too light and faults slip through; too frequent and you are paying for jets the drain did not need. We get it right and adjust it as the footage shows how the line behaves.

How drain maintenance plans are priced
There is no flat rate, because a yearly visit to one outside gully is not the same job as monthly servicing on a restaurant grease line. We survey the drains, quote the schedule in writing, and you pay per visit at the rate we agreed. A few things move the number:
- How often we visit, set by the load on the line, monthly for a busy kitchen down to once a year for a quiet office or block of flats.
- How much drainage there is, one run and a couple of gullies versus a full commercial site with channels and an interceptor.
- Whether the visit is jetting only or jetting plus a CCTV check and a written report each time.
- Access, whether covers lift cleanly and whether the work needs to happen out of trading hours.
The honest comparison is this: a planned jet is usually a fraction of what one emergency out-of-hours unblock costs, and it keeps the kitchen, the car park or the let running. We give you a free no-obligation quote on the whole schedule first, so you can see the yearly cost before you commit to anything.

Most visits are routine. Now and then the camera shows something the jet cannot fix, and this is the work that puts it right before it becomes a flood.

If a drain has already blocked, we clear it first, then talk to you about putting it on a schedule so it does not go again.

Drain Lining & Patching
When a visit finds a cracked joint, a resin liner seals it from inside with no digging, so the fault does not grow.
