High-pressure water jetting is used to clear stubborn blockages, remove grease, scale, debris and tree roots, and restore full flow in drains and pipework. It is far more effective than rods alone and can clean long sections of drainage quickly and safely, making it suitable for domestic properties, businesses and industrial sites.

Water Jetting FAQ’s
Is water jetting safe for my pipes?
Yes — when carried out by trained professionals using the correct pressure and equipment, water jetting is completely safe for modern drainage systems. The process removes blockages without scraping or damaging pipes, and is often gentler than mechanical rodding. We assess your system first to ensure the most appropriate method is used.
How long does water jetting take?
Most water jetting jobs take between 30 minutes and 1 hour, depending on the severity of the blockage and the length of the pipework. More complex commercial systems may take longer. We work efficiently to minimise disruption while ensuring the pipe is thoroughly cleared and flowing properly before we leave.
Can water jetting remove grease, fat and scale?
Yes — jetting is one of the most effective ways to remove fatbergs, grease deposits and limescale build-up. The high-pressure water breaks down hardened material and washes it away safely. This not only clears the immediate blockage but helps prevent future issues, especially in kitchens, food premises and commercial environments.
When should I choose jetting rather than rodding?
Jetting is the preferred option for stubborn or recurring blockages, long pipe runs, heavy debris or grease-based issues. Unlike rodding, jetting cleans the full internal surface of the pipe, restoring proper flow and preventing future blockages. Rodding may work for minor issues, but jetting provides a far more thorough solution.
Do you offer emergency water jetting?
Yes — we provide rapid-response water jetting across Cumbria and the Scottish Borders for urgent blockages, sewage backups, flooding and commercial emergencies. Our engineers carry powerful jetting units on board, allowing us to clear most problems on the first visit and restore your drainage system quickly with minimal disruption.
Can jetting prevent future blockages?
Absolutely. By removing grease, silt, scale and debris from the entire pipe, jetting helps prevent future blockages and improves long-term flow. Many businesses schedule periodic jetting as part of their planned maintenance to reduce downtime, minimise emergency call-outs and keep their drainage systems operating efficiently year-round.
