Common causes we find in Lanark
- Fat, oil and grease build-up
- Silt, sand and grit in gullies and interceptors
- Fine root growth through joints
- Scale and sediment narrowing the bore
- Slow-running drains that never fully block
How we do the work in Lanark
Descaling cast iron with a milling head restores the original bore instead of just punching a channel through the scale. Older and newer property in Lanark fail in different ways, and the fix follows the cause.
Jetting pressure is dialled to the pipe: full bore on cast iron and vitrified clay, backed right off on thin-wall plastic common in newer Lanark housing. That keeps the price for Lanark the same as anywhere else on our patch.
How a Lanark job runs
- 1
Assess
Pipe material, condition and access checked before any pressure is applied.
- 2
Jet
Correct nozzle and pressure to clean the full circumference of the pipe.
- 3

Arisings and silt cleared from chambers rather than pushed downstream.
- 4
Check
Optional CCTV afterwards to confirm the condition of the clean pipe.
How Lanark drainage actually behaves
Lanark's historic centre has narrow access and protected frontages, so trenchless repair is often the only practical fix.
Protected frontages and narrow access make excavation the last resort, so we lean on camera surveys and no-dig repair. It is one of the reasons Lanark work is rarely a straight rod-and-go.
Shared and private runs sit side by side across Lanark's protected historic frontages and narrow-access closes, so ownership is established before work starts. The pipe material tells you as much about the likely fault as the symptom does.
heritage properties make up most of our Lanark diary, though Lanark High Street and New Lanark visitor area keep the commercial side busy too. That keeps the price for Lanark the same as anywhere else on our patch.
We reach Lanark on the A72, so vans are rarely far away. Lanark sits in the round we cover daily, so this is routine rather than a special trip.
Distance is not the constraint in Lanark — 25 miles from Glasgow is a routine run for us on the A73. Hose reach is around 60 metres from the van, which covers all but the longest runs.
Jetting cleans a drain back to its full bore. Rodding can clear a path through a blockage; jetting removes what caused it, which is why it lasts far longer.
Kitchens and food premises get the most out of jetting, because fat coats the whole pipe wall rather than sitting in one spot. The camera settles it either way, and the footage is yours to keep.

Lanark drainage FAQs
Do you work on protected historic frontages in Lanark?
Regularly. Original stone-built drainage runs deeper and at odd angles here, so surveying comes before any quote. We adjust the method — jetting pressure, rodding or no-dig repair — to suit the pipe we find. We are happy to talk it through on the phone first.
Is the drain my responsibility or Scottish Water's?
Anything inside your boundary is normally yours; the shared sewer beyond it is not. On Lanark jobs we camera the run so you can see exactly where the fault sits before anyone pays for it. Ring 07427 195142 if you want that checked before booking.
Can you attend out of hours in Lanark?
Yes, and at no extra rate. Nights, weekends and public holidays are charged the same as a Tuesday morning in ML11. There is no charge for the advice either way.
Do you provide a written report for Lanark landlords and factors?
We do — photographs, camera footage and a plain-English summary of the cause, which is usually what a factor or insurer needs before agreeing a South Lanarkshire shared cost. Most people in Lanark ask this, so you are not alone.
Can jetting damage my drains?
Not when the pressure and nozzle are matched to the pipe. We assess condition first, which is why we camera anything we are unsure of.
How often should commercial kitchens be jetted?
Most busy kitchens benefit from a planned clean every three to six months, depending on volume.
Is jetting better than rodding?
For fat, silt and root growth, yes — rodding clears a channel, jetting cleans the pipe.
