Commercial Drainage Southampton

A blocked drain can close a kitchen, shut washrooms and upset tenants. Clear Drainage provides commercial drainage services across Southampton for restaurants, cafés, shops, offices, landlords and managing agents.

We unblock, jet, survey and maintain commercial drains, and plan work around your business wherever possible.

Problems we often see in Southampton

When customers in and around Southampton contact us about commercial drainage, these are some of the most common issues:

  • Grease-blocked drains in city-centre restaurants and takeaways
  • Shared drains in blocks of flats and student accommodation
  • Washroom blockages in offices and retail units
  • Silted yard and car park gullies
  • Repeated call-outs to the same problem drain

What usually causes them

  • 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

Commercial Drainage across Southampton

Southampton has a busy hospitality scene in the city centre, along Bedford Place, Oxford Street, Portswood Road and around Ocean Village, and commercial kitchens are among the most common sources of drainage problems. Fat, oil and grease build up quickly in kitchen drains and gullies, and planned jetting can reduce the number of emergency call-outs.

The city also has a large number of rented and managed residential properties, from purpose-built student accommodation to converted houses and blocks of flats. We work with landlords and agents to clear shared drains and help identify the causes of recurring problems.

Retail units, offices and industrial premises have their own drainage needs, including washrooms, yard gullies and surface water drains.
