Drain Descaling in Pratt's Bottom

Drain Descaling for Pratt's Bottom (BR6) properties

Older homes in Pratt's Bottom were plumbed with salt-glazed clay in short sections with mortar joints — the classic entry point for roots. Newer estates use continuous UPVC, which blocks less from roots and more from wipes, fat and misuse. We factor that into every drain descaling job we take in BR6.

Most common drainage problems in Pratt's Bottom

  • Collapsed or dropped sections in older clay pipework
  • Deformed pitch fibre pipes in 1950s–70s housing
  • Wet wipes and sanitary items blocking the main lateral
