[Book Same-Day Visit](/contact)[All Services](/services) What it covers High-pressure drain jetting uses a van- or trailer-mounted jetter to force water through a hose and interchangeable nozzle at up to 4,000 PSI, scouring the full internal diameter of a drain or sewer pipe clean. Unlike rodding, which pokes a hole through a blockage, jetting cuts and clears the entire pipe wall — removing fat deposits, scale, silt, soft root growth and debris rather than just displacing them further down the line. Who it's for Homeowners with a blocked kitchen or bathroom drain, landlords dealing with recurring blockages in rental stock, restaurants and takeaways with fat-affected drainage, property managers running scheduled maintenance jetting on problem runs, and commercial sites needing planned or emergency jetting cover. When you need it The moment a sink, toilet or gully is slow to drain or has backed up. Immediately for any smell of sewage or standing water around a manhole. On a planned schedule for kitchens producing fat, oil and grease, and for laterals with known root ingress that block repeatedly. Why professional matters A blockage doesn't sit still — it grows. Fat cools and hardens against pipe walls, roots thicken every season they're left, and silt compacts the longer it sits. Jetting at the right pressure and with the right nozzle clears the pipe back to bare wall, buying you months or years before the next issue rather than days. What Happens If You Wait ## The Job Gets Bigger. The Bill Gets Worse. Every plumbing and drainage problem follows the same curve — cheap to fix early, painful to fix late. Here's what the wait actually costs. ### Rodding Just Moves The Problem A rod pushes a hole through a soft blockage and the water flows again — until the fat, silt or root mat re-forms around the hole days later. You end up paying for the same callout every few weeks instead of clearing the pipe properly once. ### Fat Blockages Get Worse With Heat Hot fat poured down a sink looks liquid going in and sets rock-hard against the first cold surface it meets, usually a bend a few metres down. Left untreated, that deposit builds layer on layer until the pipe is fully occluded and backs up into the kitchen. ### Root Growth Compounds Every Season A root tendril through a displaced clay joint thickens every growing season. What clears with a light jetting pass this year can need a root-cutting head and a full survey in two years if it's ignored. Common Mistakes We See Weekly - Pouring caustic soda or bleach down a blocked drain repeatedly — it eats clay joints and rubber seals without clearing the actual blockage - Rodding a fat blockage instead of jetting it — rodding pushes a channel through hardened fat rather than scouring it off the pipe wall - Using a hired domestic jetter on old or fragile clay pipework at full commercial pressure - Ignoring a slow drain until it's a full blockage, when jetting earlier would have taken half the time - Jetting without a follow-up CCTV check on a run that's blocked more than once — the underlying defect never gets found Our Process ## Five Steps. Every Job, Every Time. 01 ### Site Assessment Engineer locates manholes and access points, confirms the affected run, and identifies likely blockage type — fat, roots, scale, silt or debris. 02 ### Nozzle & Pressure Selection Penetrator heads for hard blockages, flushing nozzles for general scour, rotary nozzles for scale, root-cutting heads for live root growth. Pressure is matched to pipe age and material — old clay gets a gentler pass than modern uPVC. 03 ### Full-Bore Jetting Hose fed through the line at up to 4,000 PSI and 18+ litres per minute, clearing the full internal diameter back to the public sewer, not just the blockage point. 04 ### Flow Check Water run through the cleared line to confirm full flow is restored, with a visual check at the downstream manhole where accessible. 05 ### Recommendation If the blockage recurred more than once, or if jetting reveals a probable structural cause, we recommend a CCTV survey and quote any repair before we leave — not as an upsell, but because a jet alone won't fix a broken joint. Why It's Worth Doing Right ## Specific Outcomes, Not Vague Promises. ### Cleared, Not Just Poked Jetting scours the full pipe wall — fat, scale and roots are removed, not just pushed aside to reform later. ### Water-Utility-Grade Equipment The same class of jetting kit and nozzle range used on major UK water company subcontract work is deployed on every domestic and commercial callout. ### Same-Day, 24/7 Availability Blocked drains don't wait for office hours. We run emergency jetting cover around the clock across Berkshire. ### Matched Pressure For Pipe Condition Old salt-glazed clay is treated differently from modern uPVC — we don't run one pressure setting on every job regardless of what's underground. ### Planned Maintenance For Repeat-Risk Sites Commercial kitchens, root-prone laterals and shared drainage runs can go on a scheduled jetting plan that stops blockages before they happen. ### Straight Into A Survey If Needed If jetting alone won't solve a recurring issue, the same visit can move straight into a CCTV survey and repair quote — one team, one invoice. Technical Detail ## How We Actually Do The Work. Jetting looks simple from the outside — point a hose down a pipe and blast it. Getting it right means matching pressure, flow rate and nozzle type to the pipe material, age and blockage type, and knowing when jetting alone won't fix the underlying cause. Local Knowledge Bracknell-based, working daily across Wokingham, Maidenhead, Windsor, Ascot, Reading, Woodley, Woking and into West London. The right kit for Berkshire soil, Berkshire pipework and Berkshire weather. ### Jetting Equipment & Nozzle Range Van-mounted jetters delivering up to 4,000 PSI at 18+ litres per minute, run through hose reels sized for domestic laterals up to full commercial sewer runs. Nozzle selection matters more than raw pressure: penetrator heads drill through blockages first, flushing nozzles then scour the pipe wall on the way back, rotary chain-flail nozzles cut hardened scale, and root-cutting heads take out live root ingress without damaging sound pipe. ### Fat, Oil & Grease (FOG) In Commercial Kitchens Commercial kitchens are the single biggest cause of repeat jetting callouts we see. Fat cools and sets against pipe walls downstream of the grease trap, building in layers with every service. Jetting clears it, but a planned schedule — typically monthly or quarterly depending on covers served — stops the fat ever building thick enough to cause a full blockage or a trade effluent breach. ### Root Cutting vs Root Removal A root-cutting nozzle chain-flails through root growth inside the pipe and restores flow immediately, but it doesn't fix the displaced or open joint the roots are entering through. Where root ingress recurs on the same run, a CCTV survey identifies the joint and a patch liner or reline stops the roots getting back in — jetting alone becomes a repeat cost otherwise. ### Pressure Matched To Pipe Material Pre-1980s salt-glazed clay with rope-yarn or mortar joints needs a lighter touch than modern uPVC push-fit pipework — full pressure on a fragile old joint can do more harm than the blockage. We assess pipe material and condition, often confirmed by a quick camera check first on older properties, before setting jetting pressure. ### Domestic vs Commercial Jetting Domestic jetting deals with single laterals, gullies and shared drainage between terraces, usually a 60–90 minute visit. Commercial jetting covers larger-bore pipework, interceptors, grease traps and long sewer runs, often under a planned maintenance contract with scheduled visits and compliance reporting. Sean's years running commercial drainage subcontract work for one of the UK's largest water companies means large commercial jetting contracts are run to the same standard as a routine domestic callout.
