Frequently asked questions

How do I know if my drain gully needs clearance?

If you notice water pooling near the grate, slow drainage after rainfall, foul odours around the gully or frequent flooding of surface-water drains, it’s a strong indicator that your gully requires immediate clearance and cleaning.

What causes a gully to become blocked or require maintenance?

Gullies often fill up with silt, leaves, debris, oils from surface run-off, stone and other particulates that restrict flow. Over time this reduces capacity and can lead to blockage or overflow if not cleared regularly.

What does your gully clearance service include?

Our gully clearance process includes vacuum suction of silt and debris from the gully pot, high-pressure water jetting of outlet pipes, inspection of the gully grate and seating, safe disposal of extracted waste and a written report on the gully condition.

Does the gully clearance service cause disruption?

We plan operations to minimise disruption whether you have a domestic driveway gully or a commercial site with multiple drainage points. Our specialist tankers work efficiently and your surface-water drainage can typically be restored swiftly after clearance.

Why is regular gully maintenance important for your property?

Regular gully clearance helps prevent flooding, protects your driveway or roadway from standing water, preserves drainage capacity, avoids foul odours and ensures compliance with site-maintenance requirements for both domestic and commercial properties.

What should I check or prepare before you arrive for gully clearing?

Please ensure the area surrounding the gully is accessible to our tanker and crew, remove any obstructions from the grate, inform us if the gully is on a commercial or high-traffic site and provide any existing maintenance records to help us scope the job accurately.
