FAQs — Water Jetting in Leigh

Will jetting damage my drains?

No, when used correctly. Our engineers match the nozzle and pressure to the pipe material — clay, cast iron, pitch fibre, plastic — so the pipe wall isn't touched. We won't jet a pipe we suspect is collapsed without a camera first.

Do you do storm drain and gully cleaning?

Yes — including gullies, channel drains, ACO drains and surface water systems. Particularly useful before winter to stop blockages becoming flooding.

Do you actually cover Leigh?

Yes — Leigh is part of our core coverage, including WN7 and surrounding areas like Atherton, Tyldesley, Astley. Most Leigh callouts are reached inside 25 minutes from our Shevington base.

Recurring blockages in Leigh? Jet it once, not weekly.

4000+ psi truck-mounted jetters clear the cause, not the symptom. Half-day rates for WN7.
