Drain Descaling for Herne Pound (ME18) properties

Herne Pound has the usual English mix: period property on original clay pipework, post-war housing on pitch fibre or early plastic, and newer builds on UPVC that still connect into much older shared runs. Each fails in a different way, so we diagnose before we dig. We factor that into every drain descaling job we take in ME18.
