Planned Drainage
Maintenance Contracts
Stop paying emergency rates. Scheduled jetting, gully cleans, CCTV proofing and FOG-line cleans for restaurants, retail, factories, care homes and managing-agent portfolios across West Yorkshire — at contract rates, with priority emergency response when something does go wrong.
Sites that benefit most
Restaurants & cafés
Hot-water jetting kitchen and FOG lines every quarter. The cheapest way to stop Friday-night emergencies.
Factories & industrial
Process lines, interceptors, surface-water mains. Scheduled cleans before regulator visits.
Care homes & schools
Mains, gulleys, gutters and stacks. CCTV proof of condition for compliance and inspections.
Retail & leisure
Pre-season cleans, planned stack and gully work, out-of-hours scheduling to avoid trading disruption.
Managing agents
Portfolio-wide contracts across multiple sites. Single point of contact, consolidated reporting and billing.
Insurance-conscious sites
Documented planned-maintenance regime that insurers see as risk reduction — sometimes a premium discount.
Where we cover
How a contract is set up
Site walk
We visit, map the drainage, identify risk points and agree the schedule with you.
Schedule & price
Visit frequency, scope per visit, fixed annual price. Out-of-hours uplifts and emergency rates agreed up front.
Carry out visits
Same crew where possible. Sign in, do the work, photo and CCTV evidence, sign off.
Reporting
Per-visit report with photos and CCTV clips, plus annual condition summary. Useful at insurance renewal.
Domestic, commercial & insurance work
Domestic
Less common, but available for larger residential portfolios (HMOs, landlords with 10+ properties). Scheduled gulley and stack cleans.
Commercial
Restaurants, factories, retail, care homes, schools, leisure. Most contracts are quarterly with priority emergency response between visits.
Insurance
Documented maintenance regimes that satisfy insurers' risk-management requirements and can reduce premiums or excesses.

Planned maintenance FAQs
- How often should I schedule maintenance?
- Restaurant FOG lines: quarterly. General commercial drainage: 6-monthly to annual. Surface-water gulleys: spring and autumn. We'll recommend a schedule from the site walk.
- What does a contract include?
- Scheduled visits at the agreed frequency, an agreed scope per visit (e.g. kitchen FOG line jet + gully clean + CCTV proof), per-visit photo/CCTV report, and priority emergency response between visits at a contracted rate.
- How much does a maintenance contract cost?
- From around £80/visit for a small single-line domestic clean, up to several thousand per quarter for a multi-site retail portfolio. We quote a fixed annual price after the site walk.
- Can you work out of hours?
- Yes — most of our retail and restaurant maintenance happens overnight or in the early hours to avoid trading disruption. Out-of-hours rates are agreed up front, no surprises.
- Will I get a discount on emergencies?
- Yes — contract customers pay a discounted emergency callout rate and get priority dispatch over non-contract calls. That's a big part of why people go on contract.
- Do I have to commit to a long contract?
- No — most contracts are 12 months with a 30-day notice period. We earn the renewal each year.
- Will an insurer accept your reports as evidence of maintenance?
- Yes — our per-visit photo and CCTV reports are designed to be filed as evidence of a documented maintenance regime. Several customers have used them to reduce premiums or excesses.
- Can you also handle gutters, stacks and rainwater?
- Yes — most contracts bundle external gulleys, gutters, downpipes and stacks alongside the below-ground drainage. One crew, one visit, one invoice.
- Do you cover multiple sites?
- Yes — portfolio contracts across multi-site customers (restaurant groups, managing agents, retail estates) are a big part of what we do. Single contact, single monthly invoice.
- How quickly can you start?
- Typical lead time from sign-off to first visit is 2–3 weeks. Urgent take-on (e.g. after a competitor pulls out) can be done inside a week.
