Local Drain Cleaning & Maintenance in Biggar
Curran Drainage Services is a family-run team working across Biggar and the rest of South Lanarkshire, handling drain cleaning & maintenance for homeowners, landlords and businesses. Repeat drain cleaning & maintenance at the same Biggar address is a sign of a defect, and we look for it.
Bottom line: one call gets a local engineer to Biggar, day or night, with the kit to finish most drain cleaning & maintenance visits in one go. Camera evidence supplied on request at no extra cost.
On the ground in Biggar
Rural Biggar properties frequently run long private drains and soakaways, and tree roots are the usual cause of recurring problems.
Farm tracks and heavy vehicle access crush shallow pipework, which shows up as recurring blockages at the same point. It is one of the reasons Biggar work is rarely a straight rod-and-go.
Most drain cleaning & maintenance work in Biggar involves rural properties with soakaways and long private drains, and each brings its own typical faults. Knowing that before we arrive in Biggar saves guessing on site.
We work for rural homeowners, farms, holiday lets in Biggar, including premises around Biggar High Street. Either way, arrival times to Biggar are given honestly rather than optimistically.
Parking near the property is the only real constraint here — the run in from the A702 takes no time. That keeps the price for Biggar the same as anywhere else on our patch.
Sitting 28 miles out from Edinburgh, Biggar falls inside the South Lanarkshire round we run daily. Hose reach is around 60 metres from the van, which covers all but the longest runs.
Planned maintenance is far cheaper than emergency call-outs. We clean gullies, interceptors and drainage runs on a schedule that suits the property and keep a record of every visit.
We keep a history of each site, so recurring problem areas are spotted early rather than repeatedly cleared. That is the part other firms tend to skip on Biggar call-outs.

- A shared South Lanarkshire run where two neighbours disagree about the cause

Why Biggar customers trust us
- £5 million public liability cover, with certificates available on request before we attend. None of that adds to the price of the visit.
- Street Works (NRSWA) qualified, which matters on the Biggar jobs that touch adopted roads and footways. That is the part other firms tend to skip on Biggar call-outs.
- High Pressure Water Jetting trained, so the equipment is operated to the recognised standard rather than by feel. The camera settles it either way, and the footage is yours to keep.

How we do the work in Biggar
Full relining is an option on longer Biggar runs — a felt liner inverted through the pipe and cured to form a new wall inside the old one. It is why we quote after looking, not before, on Biggar jobs.
Cameras are self-levelling with on-screen metreage, so the defect position is recorded to the metre for any later repair. If a second engineer is needed for access or safety, that is arranged before we set out.
What's included
- Planned preventative maintenance
- Gully and interceptor cleaning
- Kitchen and grease line jetting
- Landlord, factor and facilities contracts
- Visit reports and photographic records
- Reactive cover between scheduled visits

Biggar drainage FAQs
Can you attend out of hours in Biggar?
Yes, and at no extra rate. Nights, weekends and public holidays are charged the same as a Tuesday morning in ML12. It is worth mentioning when you describe the problem to us.
Will you need to dig up my garden or driveway?
Only as a last resort. In Biggar we survey first and use patch lining or relining wherever the pipe allows, which avoids excavation entirely on most jobs. Photos or a short video help us answer that more precisely.
Do you handle commercial premises near surrounding farm steadings?
Frequently. We schedule Biggar commercial work around trading hours, including overnight, so kitchens and shop floors are not shut during service. Photos or a short video help us answer that more precisely.
Do you guarantee the work?
Yes. If the same fault returns within the guarantee period we come back to Biggar at no charge — and if the cause is structural we will have flagged that on the first visit rather than after it. Most people in Biggar ask this, so you are not alone.
How often should drains be cleaned?
Domestic drainage rarely needs more than an annual clean; busy commercial kitchens are usually quarterly.
Do you work with property factors?
Yes — we maintain shared drainage for factors, landlords and facilities teams and supply reports after each visit.
Is there a contract to sign?
Not necessarily. Many clients simply book a recurring visit and we remind them when it is due.
