High-pressure jetting clears grease, scale and silt from Banbury drains while keeping the pipe intact. Send a request online and we pass it to a local engineer.
High-pressure jetting is a reliable way to clear stubborn blockages and clean Banbury's ageing pipes. The jet cuts through grease, scale and debris with water pressure of up to 4,000 PSI. It stays gentle on pipe walls because the pressure is set to suit the pipe.
Mature street trees in Easington and Calthorpe make root intrusion a regular cause of blockages. Where roots have grown into a joint, the engineer fits a rotary root-cutting head to the jetting hose. It cuts the root mass back before flushing the line, because the flow only returns once the roots are gone. If a defect is letting roots in, they flag it and suggest a lasting repair alongside the jetting, so the blockage does not come straight back.

Local tip: Banbury has hard water, which adds to scale in pipes. Jetting every 12 to 18 months keeps the flow free.
Yes, when a qualified engineer does it. They lower the pressure for older clay pipes, which are common in Banbury, and raise it for modern plastic systems. A brief CCTV check first confirms the pipe can take jetting.
The price depends on the length of pipe and how heavy the deposits are. Regular maintenance jetting is usually quicker than clearing heavy buildup, because less has settled. Request a quote online and the engineer confirms the price before starting.
For most Banbury homes, jetting every 12 to 18 months keeps drains flowing freely. Homes with mature trees nearby, or commercial kitchens that produce grease, may need it more often, typically every 6 to 12 months.
Jetting removes grease, scale, silt and loose debris from the pipe walls. It can also clear roots when the engineer fits a cutting head. However, it cannot repair a cracked pipe, so a CCTV check helps if problems keep coming back. Regular jetting also stops small deposits turning into a full blockage.
