Drain Descaling Services

We offer specialist descaling services for domestic, commercial and industrial clients. Over time, scale and mineral deposits can build up on the inner surfaces of drainage pipes, restricting flow and leading to blockages. Our descaling methods restore full functionality and extend the lifespan of your drainage system.

What Is Drain Descaling?

Drain descaling is the process of removing hardened deposits, such as limescale, fat, and mineral build-up, from inside your pipes. These deposits form gradually, particularly in older cast iron or metal pipework, and can eventually lead to significant blockages or even structural damage if left untreated.

Why Drain Descaling Is Important?


Ignoring scale build-up can result in long-term damage, disruption, and costly repairs. Common reasons for requiring descaling include:


  • Restricted Water Flow
    Buildup narrows the internal diameter of the pipe, reducing flow and causing slow drainage.
  • Recurring Blockages
    Scale deposits trap grease, food waste, and other debris, leading to frequent clogs.
  • Unpleasant Odours
    Accumulated debris and scale can produce persistent smells in your kitchen or bathroom.
  • Increased Risk of Pipe Damage
    Hardened scale can crack or corrode pipe interiors, leading to leaks or collapse.
  • Prevention for Older Pipe Systems
    Properties with original or outdated plumbing benefit greatly from routine descaling to avoid full system replacements.

Our Drain Descaling Methods

1. Mechanical Descaling

2. High-Pressure Water Jetting

2. High-Pressure Water Jetting

Mechanical descaling uses specialised rotary equipment to physically break down scale inside the pipework. This method is ideal for:


  • Cast iron and metal pipes
  • Heavy limescale deposits
  • Long sections of commercial or industrial pipe systems


A flexible shaft with cutting or abrasive heads rotates at high speed to remove hardened buildup without damaging the pipe.

2. High-Pressure Water Jetting

2. High-Pressure Water Jetting

2. High-Pressure Water Jetting

We use high-pressure jetting to flush away loosened scale and debris. This is often used alongside mechanical descaling to thoroughly clean and clear the pipe walls. Jetting is particularly effective for:


  • Fat, oil, and grease removal
  • Flushing out debris after descaling
  • Routine maintenance in commercial drains

3. Electro-Mechanical Cleaning

2. High-Pressure Water Jetting

3. Electro-Mechanical Cleaning

Electro-mechanical tools are used for internal descaling in smaller, more delicate pipework such as kitchen sink drains or bathroom waste lines. This method combines rotary cleaning and precision for areas that require extra care.
