Fat and grease blocking kitchen runs
We jet the run at high pressure to strip the fat back to bare pipe, then camera-check for damage. We also check your grease trap and advise on emptying frequency, so the buildup does not return in a few weeks.

About this service
What commercial drainage in Chislehurst involves
Commercial drainage in Chislehurst is the planned and emergency clearing, cleaning and inspection of the pipework that carries waste away from a business premises. It covers more than a blocked sink: grease traps, gully covers, inspection chambers, soil stacks and the private run out to the public sewer. We rod, jet and camera lines from 100mm up to 300mm, then tell you what failed and why, so the same blockage does not return next month.
Chislehurst's building stock makes this harder than it looks. Victorian clay pipes under the High Street have shifted with decades of tree roots, while newer units on the Bromley Road side often run shallow falls that silt up fast. Pubs, cafes and salons along the parade push fat, hair and food waste into lines never designed for that volume. If you run a kitchen or a washroom open to the public, business drainage maintenance Chislehurst is not optional, it is what keeps you trading.

What's included
What our commercial drainage service includes
Every call-out covers the essentials: survey, clear, camera check and a written summary. If a job needs more, like drain lining or excavation, we tell you before we start and price it separately, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
✓
Manhole and chamber survey
We lift covers with proper manhole lifting keys and inspect every chamber on the run. This tells us where the blockage sits and whether the problem is local or further down the line. Takes 15 to 20 minutes on a typical Chislehurst commercial site.
✓
High pressure jetting
A high pressure water jetter at 3,000 to 4,000 psi scours fat, grease, scale and silt from the pipe wall. This is what actually clears a commercial kitchen run, where rods just punch a hole through the grease and leave the rest behind.
✓
CCTV camera verification
After clearing, a CCTV drain camera goes down the line to confirm it is fully open and to spot cracks, root intrusion or displaced joints. You see the footage on screen. If there is a defect, you know about it now, not after the next backup.
✓
Grease trap and gully check
For food premises we check the grease trap and gullies as part of the visit. If the trap is overdue for emptying or the gully covers are damaged, we flag it. Catching this early is what keeps commercial drain unblocking Chislehurst jobs from becoming monthly events.
✓
Written job summary
You get a short written report: what blocked the line, what we did, and what to watch. For landlords and managing agents this is the paperwork you need. It also gives you a baseline to compare against on the next maintenance visit.
How it works
How our commercial drainage call-out runs
01
Phone triage
You describe the problem, we ask the right questions: which drain, how many fixtures affected, is it backing up or draining slow, any smell. Two minutes on the phone usually tells us whether it is a local gully or a main run. We book a slot and give you a price band there and then.
02
On-site survey
A technician lifts the manhole covers with proper manhole lifting keys and checks the inspection chambers. We trace the run, identify the blockage point and confirm the price. This takes 15 to 20 minutes on a typical Chislehurst commercial job.
03
Clear and jet
We clear with drain rods first on softer blockages, then bring in the high pressure water jetter for fat, scale and silt. A Karcher or Ridgid jetter at 3,000 to 4,000 psi cuts through grease that rods just push aside. Most clears take 45 to 90 minutes.
04
Camera check
A CCTV drain camera goes down the line to confirm it is fully clear and to spot defects. We record the footage and show you the screen. If there is a collapsed drain or a displaced joint, you see it now rather than after the next flood.
05
Report and advice
You get a written summary: what blocked it, what we did, what to watch. If a grease trap needs emptying more often or a section needs lining, we say so plainly. Then we leave the site clean and your line flowing.
Tools & methods
Tools and methods we use
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
High pressure water jetter
Our main tool for fat, grease, scale and silt. We run Karcher and Ridgid jetters at 3,000 to 4,000 psi, which scours the pipe wall clean rather than just punching a hole through the blockage.
CCTV drain camera
A camera on a reel that goes down the line after clearing. It confirms the pipe is fully open and shows up cracks, root intrusion and displaced joints. We record the footage and show you on site.
Pipe inspection crawler
A wheeled camera unit for larger bore pipes, typically 150mm and up. It gives a steady, well-lit view of long runs and is what we use on main drainage between chambers.
Drain auger and drain snake
For cutting through root intrusion and softer blockages. The auger bites into roots and pulls them out, which a jetter alone cannot always do. We follow with jetting to flush the debris away.
Drain rods and manhole lifting keys
The basics, and still essential. Rods let us feel the blockage and clear softer material before jetting. Proper manhole lifting keys mean we can open chambers safely without damaging the cover.
Real results
Before and after.
Cafe kitchen run cleared in one visit
Before
A Chislehurst High Street cafe had a kitchen gully backing up every few weeks. Rodding gave temporary relief but the problem returned. Grease had built up along 12 metres of pipe, narrowing the bore to a trickle.
After
We jetted the full run at 3,500 psi, stripped the grease back to bare pipe and camera-checked the line. Flow rate returned to normal and the cafe stayed open through the job. No repeat blockage in the following months.
Pub cellar drain freed from roots
Before
A pub cellar flooded on a Saturday night. The floor gully was backing up and the smell was strong. A CCTV survey showed tree roots had entered a clay joint about 8 metres down the run, forming a mat that caught everything.
After
We cut the roots with a drain auger, jetted the line and re-cameraed to confirm it was clear. The cellar drained properly within two hours of arrival and the smell cleared. We supplied footage and a report for the landlord.
Office washroom blockages stopped
Before
A Bromley office block had recurring washroom blockages for months. Two firms had rodded the line and left. The smell persisted and staff complaints were mounting. Nobody had actually looked inside the pipe.
After
A pipe inspection crawler found scale buildup and a displaced joint in the clay run. We jetted the line clear and quoted for a permanent repair. The blockages stopped recurring and the washroom smell cleared within a day.
Problems we solve
Problems we solve for Chislehurst businesses
Most commercial drainage calls come down to a handful of recurring problems. Here is what we see most often in Chislehurst and how we deal with each one.
Ask a pro →↗
Tree root intrusion in clay pipes
We cut the roots out with a drain auger and jetter, then send a pipe inspection crawler down to see the joint damage. If the pipe is cracked, we tell you and quote for a repair or lining rather than just clearing it again.
Scale buildup in hard water areas
High pressure water jetting removes scale from the pipe wall far better than rods. We jet the full run, flush it through and camera-check the result. For badly scaled lines we recommend a maintenance schedule to keep it clear.
Collapsed or displaced drains
A CCTV drain camera survey pinpoints the defect and its depth. We show you the footage and explain the options, from patch repair to full replacement. No guesswork, no unnecessary digging.

What Chislehurst businesses say
★★★★★
“Our kitchen gully backed up on a Friday morning and we had a full lunch booking. They were on site within 90 minutes, jetted the run and showed us the camera footage of the fat buildup. Cleared in under two hours and we opened on time. We now have them in quarterly for maintenance.”

★★★★★
“Cellar drain flooded on a Saturday night. Rang the 24/7 line and a technician arrived before midnight with a jetter. Turned out to be root intrusion from the tree outside. They cleared it, camera-checked the line and gave us a report for the landlord. No drama, fair price.”

“We had a recurring smell in the washrooms for months. Two other firms just rodded it and left. This team put a camera down, found a displaced joint in the clay pipe, and told us exactly what needed doing. Honest advice, no upselling. The smell has not come back.”
