Gully clearance is a vital part of maintaining any surface water drainage system. Road gullies, yard drains, and driveway grates are designed to capture rainwater and prevent flooding — but over time they become blocked by leaves, silt, litter, and debris. Without regular cleaning, gullies quickly lose capacity, leading to surface water build-up, property damage, and costly disruptions.
Clearmasters provide routine and reactive gully cleaning services across Surrey, Sussex, Kent, Hampshire, and London. Using high-performance vacuum tankers and jetting equipment, we remove silt and debris to restore full flow and ensure your system operates efficiently — even during heavy rainfall.
Whether you manage a commercial estate, public highway, or domestic property, regular gully cleaning and maintenance prevents costly repairs and protects your site from flooding and pollution risks.
Blocked or slow-draining gullies are a common cause of surface water flooding and can quickly escalate into serious damage if left untreated. We recommend routine inspections and cleaning at least once or twice per year — more frequently for high-traffic or debris-prone areas.
Our engineers can create a planned maintenance schedule to keep your gullies performing year-round, reducing emergency call-outs and long-term costs.
Proactive gully maintenance is far more cost-effective than emergency flood repairs. By scheduling regular cleaning, you can prevent long-term issues such as surface water flooding, road deterioration, and environmental pollution. Blocked gullies often lead to standing water that weakens road surfaces, causes potholes, and can contaminate nearby watercourses with silt and oil residues.
At Clearmasters, we help clients stay ahead of these issues with planned maintenance programs tailored to each site’s specific drainage needs. Whether you manage a local authority highway, private estate, or commercial car park, routine cleaning keeps your network safe, compliant, and fully operational all year round.
Effective gully maintenance involves more than just removing debris. At Clearmasters, we carry out a comprehensive inspection and testing process to ensure the entire drainage system functions as it should. Our equipment includes high-pressure jetting units and vacuum tankers capable of handling both domestic and commercial applications.
All work is completed by trained drainage professionals following health and safety best practices, ensuring safe operation around traffic-sensitive or pedestrian areas.
The cost of gully clearance depends on the number of gullies to be serviced, the level of silt build-up, and the accessibility of the site. We provide clear, itemised quotations before any work begins, with options for both one-off visits and scheduled maintenance contracts. Our goal is to deliver cost-effective flood prevention that protects your property and keeps your drainage network flowing freely all year round.
By investing in regular gully cleaning, you can avoid the much higher costs of emergency flood response, road surface repairs, or pollution clean-up.

We inspect the condition of all gullies, identifying blockages, damage, or trapped debris before starting the cleaning process.
Our vacuum tankers remove accumulated silt, litter, and organic matter to restore the gully’s holding capacity.
High-pressure jetting clears connecting pipes and ensures free flow between gullies and downstream drainage.
