Are your services environmentally friendly?

Yes, we follow all UK environmental regulations to ensure waste is handled safely and disposed of responsibly. We use the latest equipment to minimise environmental impact while effectively managing waste and floodwater.

How can vacuum tanker services help prevent flooding?

Regular maintenance of drains and sewers prevents blockages that can lead to flooding. Our vacuum tanker service clears built-up silt, debris and grease, ensuring drainage systems remain free-flowing and able to handle heavy rainfall.

How quickly can you respond to a flood emergency?

We offer a 24/7 emergency response service for flood clearance. Our team aims to be on-site as quickly as possible to extract water, minimise damage and restore safe conditions to your property.

What are vacuum tanker services used for?

At London Drainage Facilities Ltd, our vacuum tanker services are designed to remove waste, sludge and standing water from drainage systems, sewers, gullies, grease traps and interceptors. We also provide emergency flood clearance to extract water from properties affected by flooding.

How much does excavation cost?

The cost of excavation varies depending on factors such as the depth of the drainage system, the extent of the damage and the accessibility of the site. At London Drainage Facilities Ltd, we provide a detailed quote before any work begins, ensuring there are no hidden costs.

Can excavation be avoided?

In some cases, yes. Where possible, we use non-invasive techniques such as drain relining or jetting to resolve drainage issues without excavation. However, if the damage is too severe, excavation may be the only viable solution to ensure a long-term fix.

Is excavation safe/

Yes. Safety is our top priority. Our engineers are fully trained and follow strict UK Health and Safety regulations including trench support and safe digging practices. If excavation takes place near roads or public spaces, our NRSWA-certified staff will implement traffic management measures where required.

What happens after excavation is completed?

Once the necessary drainage repairs or installations are carried out, we backfill the excavated area using appropriate materials and reinstate surfaces such as tarmac, paving or soil. We ensure that everything is left in the best possible condition.
