Commercial Drainage

Drain unblocking, jetting, surveys and maintenance for shops, restaurants, offices, landlords and managed properties.

About commercial drainage

For a business, a blocked drain is not just unpleasant: it can mean closing a kitchen, shutting washrooms or disrupting tenants. Commercial drainage work needs to be arranged with the minimum disruption to trading and carried out with the building’s users in mind.

Clear Drainage provides drain unblocking, high-pressure jetting, CCTV surveys, repairs and planned maintenance for commercial premises across Southampton and the surrounding area. That includes restaurants and takeaways with grease-heavy drains, retail units, offices, schools, and residential blocks managed by landlords or agents.

Where drains are causing repeated problems, we can help identify the cause and suggest a maintenance approach that reduces the chance of emergency call-outs.

Signs you may need help

  • Kitchen drains blocking regularly
  • Washrooms out of use because of blockages
  • Smells in customer areas
  • Repeated call-outs to the same drain
  • Surface water pooling in car parks or yards

Common causes

  • Fat, oil and grease from commercial kitchens
  • Paper towels and sanitary products in washroom drains
  • High usage in shared buildings
  • Silt and debris in yard gullies and surface water drains

What our approach means for you

  • Work planned around trading hours where possible.
  • Grease-heavy kitchen drains cleaned with high-pressure jetting.
  • CCTV surveys to diagnose recurring problems.
  • Planned maintenance options for regular issues.
