Descaling & De-rusting
We remove limescale and rust build-up to restore your pipe's full capacity and stop repeat blockages.
Same Blockage Keeps Coming Back? Here's How We Fix It Properly
Over time, drainage pipework can build up scale, rust and mineral deposits that narrow the pipe and cause blockages to keep coming back, even after a standard unblock. This is especially common in older cast iron pipework and hard water areas.
Our engineers will confirm what's causing the build-up, often with a CCTV inspection, then use controlled descaling techniques to remove the deposits and restore the pipe's full diameter. This improves flow and cuts down on the emergency call-outs caused by the same restriction returning.
