UK Drain Services Ltd is a specialist commercial drainage contractor operating nationwide across England and Wales. We work exclusively with commercial and industrial clients — from construction contractors and facilities managers to property management companies, local authorities, and retail chains. Our services cover CCTV drain surveys, high-pressure drain jetting, no-dig drain repair, drain tracing and mapping with AutoCAD drawings, manhole inspections, and planned drainage maintenance contracts.

Formerly known as First Drainage Solutions, we bring over 15 years of specialist experience to every drainage project. All CCTV surveys are processed using WinCan MSCC5 software — the reporting standard accepted by water authorities and government sign-off bodies across England and Wales. We hold CHAS and Constructionline accreditation, providing our clients with independently verified assurance of our health, safety, and operational standards.

Our track record includes drainage surveys and infrastructure work on some of the UK's most demanding commercial sites, including the Tower of London, BMW, McDonald's, Lidl, and Chinatown in London. Whether you need a one-off CCTV survey or an ongoing maintenance contract, we approach every job with the same standard of accuracy, clear documentation, and professional reporting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do you provide commercial drainage services?

UK Drain Services operates nationwide across England and Wales. We carry out CCTV drain surveys, drain jetting, no-dig repairs, and drainage maintenance in London, Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle, Nottingham, Kent, and Bournemouth, as well as Southampton, Sheffield, Liverpool, Cardiff, Reading, and all surrounding areas. If you're unsure whether we cover your location, get in touch and we'll confirm straightaway.

What is included in a commercial drain survey?

Every survey includes a full CCTV drainage condition inspection with reporting produced in WinCan MSCC5 — the only format accepted by water authorities and government sign-off bodies. Depending on the project scope, we also provide high-pressure water jetting to clear lines before surveying, drain tracing and mapping, production of AutoCAD drawings in DWG format, and remedial repair recommendations. All specifications are confirmed in your quotation before any work begins.

How long does it take to receive the survey report?

Report turnaround depends on the size and complexity of the project. We confirm the expected timescale for report delivery in every quotation, so you know exactly when to expect your documentation. If you have a specific deadline, let us know when you get in touch and we'll do our best to accommodate it.

How much does a commercial drain survey cost?

The cost of a commercial drain survey depends on the size of the site, the number and diameter of pipes to be inspected, and the level of reporting required. We provide itemised quotes before any work begins, so there are no surprises. Get in touch with your site details and we'll put together an accurate quote.

Do you work with residential customers?

No — UK Drain Services works exclusively with the commercial sector. We specialise in CCTV drain surveys, drainage maintenance contracts, and drainage infrastructure projects for construction contractors, facilities managers, property management companies, retail chains, and local authorities. If you have a residential drainage issue, we'd recommend contacting a local drainage firm in your area.
