Gully Cleaning & Silt Removal for Foul Mile (BN27) properties

Older homes in Foul Mile 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 gully cleaning & silt removal job we take in BN27.
