Gully Cleaning & Silt Removal for Swanton (ME18) properties

A lot of drainage in Swanton predates the people using it. Extensions, loft conversions and added bathrooms load runs beyond their original design, and that's when hidden faults finally show. We factor that into every gully cleaning & silt removal job we take in ME18.

Most common drainage problems in Swanton

  • Fat, oil and grease build-up from kitchen waste pipes
  • Blocked soakaways causing standing water in gardens and driveways
  • Manhole overflow and backing-up during heavy use
  • Collapsed or dropped sections in older clay pipework
  • Deformed pitch fibre pipes in 1950s–70s housing
