A recent job at a hospital in Walsall involved repairing a damaged drain from inside one of the wards.

To get to the damaged section, the team had to excavate through the concrete floor before removing the old pipework and installing a new 110mm section.

Once that was done, the remaining pipe was relined using the Blue Light system from an external manhole, which meant no further excavation was needed.

The new drainage was then tested and checked with CCTV before the excavation was filled and concreted back to floor level.

Not the easiest working environment for a drainage repair, but a good job completed with disruption kept to a minimum.

A recent project took us to Coventry Building Society Arena, where we spent three days carrying out planned drainage maintenance.

The work included high pressure water jetting to clean the foul drainage system serving the stadium's public facilities, along with a CCTV drain survey on part of the network.

Planned maintenance helps keep drainage systems working properly and can identify potential issues before they become bigger problems.

Blocked drains rarely happen without warning.

Most of the time, there are a few tell-tale signs before a blockage becomes a bigger problem.

Things like unpleasant smells, slow-draining water or gurgling plug holes can all be early indicators that something isn't quite right.

It can be easy to put these issues to the bottom of the list when you're busy running a business, but acting early could save you time, disruption and an emergency call-out later on.

Take a look at the three signs below 👇

If you've noticed any of them around your premises, our local team is always happy to offer advice.

The cheapest quote isn't always the cheapest option.

When drainage repairs aren't done properly the first time, the costs soon add up:

• Repeat call-outs
• More disruption
• Bigger repair bills
• Unnecessary downtime

Investing in the right diagnosis and a proper repair from the start usually saves time, money and hassle in the long run.

Have you ever had to pay twice for the same repair?

Not every drainage job involves blocked drains.

Recently, we were called to a local golf course where poor irrigation water quality was starting to affect the condition of the turf.

After inspecting the site, we traced the issue back to the irrigation pond. Years of silt, sludge and organic debris had built up, reducing water quality and affecting the irrigation system.

Our team carried out a full pond clean, including:

• Safely draining the pond
• Removing the built-up silt and sludge
• Cleaning the pond ready for refilling
• Restoring a cleaner, more reliable water supply

The work was completed safely and with minimal disruption, leaving the pond ready to support the irrigation system once again.

We've put together a short carousel showing how the project was completed from start to finish.

If you're responsible for managing ponds, lagoons or other water assets, it's worth remembering that problems often build up gradually over time. Addressing them early can help avoid much bigger issues later on.

Blocked drains rarely happen overnight. They build up over time.

If your business is experiencing any of these, don’t ignore it. A quick inspection now could prevent a major issue later.

Get ahead of the problem, not behind it.

Fat, oil and grease causing problems?

FOG build up is one of the biggest causes of blocked drains in commercial kitchens. Left untreated, it can lead to unpleasant smells, slow drainage and even contamination risks.

Grease traps help stop fats, oils and grease entering your drainage system, reducing blockages and keeping your business running smoothly and compliantly.

A little prevention now can save a lot of disruption later.
