Drainage Services for Restaurants, Bars & Cafés in Cumbria

In hospitality settings such as restaurants, bars, pubs, and cafés, drainage problems can quickly hit operations, hygiene, and reputation. At Unblock Cumbria, we specialise in delivering tailor-made drainage and unblocking services for hospitality venues across Cumbria and the Scottish Borders. Our focus is on fast, discreet, and effective solutions that let your business stay open and your guests happy.

Whether it’s grease-laden kitchen drains, clogged toilets, external yard gullies, or surge drainage systems, we bring deep expertise to the pressures unique to food service and hospitality — ensuring compliance, cleanliness, and continuity.

Services

  • Emergency unblocking (toilets, sinks, floor gulleys, spouts)

  • Kitchen grease trap cleaning & FOG removal

  • Jetting & flushing of drain lines supplying bars, food prep, dishwashers

  • CCTV drain inspections to locate faults or grease blockages

  • Pipe repair, replacement, relining (especially in high-use zones)

  • Gully & exterior drainage servicing (courtyards, patios, drains)

We tailor our approach to each venue’s operating hours, foot traffic, and regulatory demands so disruption is minimised and standards remain high.

Why Drainage Matters

  • High usage and grease loads — Kitchens discharge fats, oils & solids that clog lines fast

  • Health & safety standards — Proper drainage is mandatory for sanitation, food safety, and licensing

  • Guest experience & reputation — Faulty drains, backups or odors drive bad reviews fast

  • Operational continuity — Drain problems can force closures, reduce revenue, and damage equipment

  • Regulatory inspections — Authorities expect documented maintenance regimes, not reactive fixes

A small issue ignored can become a big risk — early action saves you from disastrous consequences when the kitchen’s busiest.

Frequently asked questions

How frequently should pub & restaurant drains be cleaned?

Given the volume and grease loads, we generally recommend weekly or fortnightly cleaning for grease traps and monthly or quarterly flushing of drains as part of a scheduled plan.

Will you work when my business is closed?

Yes — we often schedule maintenance or repairs during off-peak hours or overnight to avoid disrupting operations and patrons.

Do you handle deep kitchen drainblocks?

Absolutely. We use CCTV, jetting, and mechanical methods to reach deep blockages under floors, in underground drains, or behind kitchen units.

Can grease control systems prevent blockages?

Yes — with proper maintenance, grease traps, interceptors, and regular flushing, you massively reduce the risk of buildup in downstream drains.

Is odour from floor drains a sign of blockage?

Often, yes. Odours may indicate trapped grease, hopper issues, or venting problems. We diagnose and fix both drainage and odour routes.
