Commercial & Domestic Drain Jetting in Oldham
4000+ psi industrial jetting clears fat, scale, silt and wet wipes — the fastest way to restore full bore flow.
A 4000 psi jetter does in twenty minutes what rods can't do in two hours. Tightly-packed stone terraces from the mill era across OL1 and OL4, mid-century semis in Chadderton and Royton, and newer estates on the Foxdenton fringe. The pipework under most Oldham streets is a mix of salt-glazed clay and early PVC — both clean well, but only when nozzle, pressure and approach direction match. That's the bit we get right.

FAQs — Water Jetting in Oldham
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.
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.
