High-pressure water jetting is the most satisfying thing we do, and given how much we enjoy the rest of the job, that’s a serious claim. A jetting nozzle runs at up to 3,000 psi and doesn’t just punch a hole through a blockage the way a rod does. It strips the pipe wall back to bare clay or plastic: grease, soap scale, root fibres, the lot, flushed out and gone.

Think of rodding as squeezing past the fatberg and jetting as evicting it.

When jetting is the right call:

  • Grease and fat build-up in kitchen runs. This is most TW blockages. Grease doesn’t block a pipe overnight; it narrows it for years, and jetting resets the clock to day one.
  • Root ingress. Fine roots from street trees and mature gardens find their way into pipe joints (a speciality of the leafier TW streets). Jetting cuts them back cleanly. If they’ve cracked the pipe, we’ll show you on camera and talk repair options honestly.
  • Recurring blockages. If you’re on first-name terms with a plunger, the pipe is narrowed somewhere. One proper jet is cheaper than four call-outs.
  • Scale in older pipes. Hard south-west London water leaves limescale in cast iron and clay runs. Jetting removes it without digging anything up.

What it costs: typical domestic jetting in the TW area runs £150–£300 depending on the length and state of the run. Price agreed up front, before the van door even opens. If a blockage clears with simpler kit, we use the simpler kit and charge for that instead.

What to do right now

  1. If the drain is completely blocked and backing up, stop adding water and call us. Jetting is usually how we'll clear it.
  2. Recurring slow drains are the classic sign a pipe needs jetting rather than another bottle of one-shot unblocker.
  3. Don't rent a pressure washer and improvise. Domestic washers can't reach the blockage and the wrong nozzle can damage older pipes.

Drain jetting · questions

Drain Jetting: the questions we get asked most

How much does drain jetting cost in the TW area?

Typical domestic jetting in the TW area runs £150 to £300 depending on the length and state of the run. The price is agreed before the van door opens. If it turns out the blockage clears with simpler kit, we use the simpler kit and charge for that instead, which happens often enough to be worth saying.

What's the difference between jetting and rodding?

Rodding squeezes past the blockage, jetting evicts it. A jetting nozzle runs at up to 3,000 psi and strips the pipe wall back to bare clay or plastic, taking grease, soap scale and root fibres with it. Rodding punches a hole through and the pipe stays narrowed, which is why a rodded drain often re-blocks and a jetted one usually doesn't.

Will jetting damage old pipes?

Not when the pressure and nozzle are matched to the pipe, which is the whole skill. We survey or at least inspect first on older clay and cast iron runs, and if a pipe is already cracked we will show you on camera and talk about repair rather than jetting it harder. A drain that is structurally failing needs fixing, not blasting.

How long does jetting last?

Jetting resets a grease-narrowed pipe to effectively day one, so how long it lasts depends entirely on what goes down it afterwards. Kitchens that stop putting fat down the sink can go years. If a jetted drain blocks again within months, grease is not the real problem and something structural is, which is a survey job.

Can jetting deal with tree roots?

Yes, jetting cuts fine root growth back cleanly and it is the usual first answer for root ingress. What it cannot do is stop them coming back, because the roots are getting in through a crack or an open joint that is still there. We will show you the entry point on camera so you can decide whether to keep jetting periodically or seal it properly with a patch liner.

Can I hire a pressure washer and do it myself?

Honestly, no, and this is one where we would rather be blunt. A domestic pressure washer cannot reach or shift a real blockage, the hose is not designed to travel a drain run, and the wrong nozzle at close range can damage older pipework. It is also unpleasant work to do badly. This one is worth the call-out.

How long does the job take?

Most domestic jetting takes one to two hours including setting up, running the lance through the affected run, and flushing it through to prove it is clear. Longer runs and heavy commercial grease take more. We will give you a realistic time on the phone rather than a hopeful one.

When is jetting not the right answer?

When the pipe is broken rather than dirty. If a drain has collapsed, cracked badly, or has a displaced joint, jetting clears it briefly and the debris simply collects again at the damage. That is a repair or relining job. Anyone who keeps selling you jetting on a pipe they have never put a camera down is guessing.

Don't wait for it to get worse.
