Drain blockages and cleaning
You can trust Lanes to tackle toilets, sinks, baths and blocked drains or sewers of any size. We will remove a one-off blockage or carry out regular cleans as part of a planned maintenance programme.
Drain jetting
Our high-pressure jet vac units provide the most effective and comprehensive drain cleaning solution, pumping 96-gallons of continually-recycled water every minute.
Drain inspection
Using advanced CCTV technology, we identify blockages and assess the structural integrity of your pipes. Our surveys include written reports, high quality images and recommendations for any repairs or maintenance.
Drain repair
From advanced renovation technologies (also known as no-dig or CIPP relining) through to traditional excavation, our experts will select the most appropriate drain repair method for you. Our services are comprehensive and cost effective.
Drain relining
Employing the most appropriate no-dig or CIPP (Cured In Place Pipe) technology, we repair damaged drains, pipes and sewers with as little disruption as possible. Relining is convenient and often more cost effective than traditional methods.
Drain jet vacuumation
For emptying as well as cleaning, our jet vacuumation tankers make light work of gulley sucking, removing debris from drains, grease traps, soakaways, interceptors and septic tanks, freeing up sewer and drains like nothing else.
Drain interceptors
Drain interceptors or drain separators are the final line of defence in stopping contaminants from entering the drainage system. They are designed to capture chemicals and oil from domestic and industrial sites like production facilities, storage areas and car parks.

With a nationwide network of depots, we are never far away when you need us the most: no location is too isolated. And each Lanes' depot has similarly qualified, experienced and knowledgeable staff.
