Will excavation disrupt my property or business?

At London Drainage Facilities Ltd, we aim to minimise disruption as much as possible. Our team works efficiently, and we use the latest excavation equipment to reduce noise, dust and mess. We also restore the site as best as possible once the work is complete.

How long does excavation take?

The duration of excavation work depends on the severity of the issue, the depth and location of the drainage system and environmental factors such as access restrictions. Minor repairs may take a day while larger projects can take several days to complete. Once we assess the site, we will provide a clear timeline for completion.

When is excavation necessary for drainage repairs?

Excavation is typically required when drainage pipes are severely damaged, collapsed or beyond repair. If a CCTV drain survey identifies a significant issue that cannot be resolved using non-invasive methods such as drain lining, excavation may be the only option to access and replace the affected section.

Do you offer ongoing drainage contracts for commercial clients?

Yes, we provide tailored drain maintenance contracts to ensure your system remains in peak condition. Our contracts offer routine inspections, preventative cleaning and priority response in case of emergencies, helping to reduce long-term repair costs.

What methods do you use to clear blocked commercial drains?

We use a combination of high-pressure water jetting, mechanical rodding and specialist cleaning techniques to clear blockages safely and effectively. If necessary, we also conduct CCTV drain surveys to identify the root cause of the problem and recommend the most appropriate solution.

What are the signs that my commercial drains need attention?

Common warning signs include slow-draining sinks, toilets or floor drains, unpleasant odours, water pooling, gurgling and repeated blockages. If you notice any of these issues, it’s best to get your drainage system checked before problems arise.

How often should I schedule drain maintenance for my business?

The frequency of maintenance depends on the nature of your business and the volume of usage. High-traffic establishments such as restaurants and hotels may require more frequent servicing, while offices and retail units may need maintenance annually or biannually. Our team can assess your system and recommend a tailored schedule.
