Gully Cleaning & Silt Removal for Cambridge (CB2) properties

The blockages we see most in Cambridge are displaced joints and misalignment caused by ground movement, root ingress at clay pipe joints on tree-lined streets around Cambridge, shared drainage disputes between neighbouring or converted properties.
