Drain Milling
With access to the latest tools, we can quickly clean your drain pipes without requiring any excavations or replacements.
Restore the flow capacity of your pipes with our drain milling services.
Drain pipes lose capacity over time due to the build up of blockages and deposits like scale, concrete, jointing compound, calcium buildup and tree roots.
Drain milling is a non-invasive method of cleaning pipes which combines CCTV cameras, high-pressure water jets and a wide bore drill bit to remove blockages and deposits, and enlarge the diameter of the pipe.

FAQs
The basics
How is milling different from jetting?
Jetting uses high-pressure water and works well for most blockages. Milling is for tougher build-up, like scale, calcium, or concrete, that jetting alone can't fully remove.
What is drain milling?
Drain milling is a way of clearing tough build-up, like scale, concrete, or tree roots, from inside your pipes using a wide bore drill bit. It restores the pipe to its full width without any digging.
Technologies used
What equipment do you use for drain milling?

The benefits of drain milling
The main advantage of drain milling is that it causes minimal disruption. It's a non-intrusive method that doesn't require excavations. Drain milling usually only takes a few hours, too, so your pipes will be back to working order in no time.
It can also tackle a wide range of blockages and deposits from grease and hair, to tree roots and scale buildup. Drain milling can improve the flow capacity of your pipes, keep them in good condition and unblock them, as well.
Our drain milling process
We'll start by carrying out a CCTV drain survey to assess the condition of your drain and locate the blockage. Then, our engineers will use our state-of-the-art drain milling machines to remove the deposits in your drainage system.
As our drainage experts can see the drain milling process in real-time via CCTV and only use industry-leading equipment, they can ensure the blockages and deposits are cleared, and no damage is caused to the pipes.
On the day
What happens during the milling process?
Our engineer will use a CCTV camera to guide the drill bit through your pipe, removing build-up like scale or concrete and restoring the pipe's flow capacity.
