How Drain Jetting Works
A jetting hose is fed into the drain from an access point, delivering a high-pressure water jet that breaks up the blockage while simultaneously flushing debris through the system. The same process scours the inside of the pipe, removing grease, scale and silt build-up along the way — which is why jetting often resolves blockages more thoroughly than rodding alone.
Common Jetting Jobs
- Grease-blocked kitchen and restaurant drains
- Long external drain runs with heavy silt or debris build-up
- Recurring blockages where rodding only provides a temporary fix
- Pre-emptive cleaning ahead of a CCTV survey, for a clearer picture of pipe condition
- Scheduled maintenance jetting for commercial kitchens and managed properties
Commercial Drain Jetting
Restaurants, takeaways and food premises across Greater Manchester rely on jetting to keep grease traps and kitchen drainage flowing, particularly ahead of environmental health inspections. We offer one-off and scheduled jetting visits to keep commercial drains clear before they cause a closure-risk blockage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is drain jetting?
Drain jetting uses a high-pressure water jet, fed through a hose into the pipe, to break up and flush out blockages while also scouring grease and scale from the pipe walls — clearing the blockage and reducing the chance of it recurring quickly.
Is jetting safe for older pipes?
Yes, when carried out by an experienced engineer who adjusts pressure to suit the pipe's age, material and condition. We assess the pipework before jetting and use a gentler approach on older or more fragile sections.
When is jetting used instead of rodding?
Jetting is typically more effective on grease build-up, longer drain runs, and blockages that rodding alone can't shift. We often start with rodding for simple blockages and move to jetting if needed.
Can jetting be used for routine maintenance?
Yes — a periodic jet clean removes grease and debris build-up before it causes a blockage, which is particularly useful for restaurants, food premises and properties with a history of recurring drain problems.
