High-Pressure Water Jetting

Jetting is a cleaning method, not a diagnosis; pressure, nozzle selection and the condition of the pipe need to suit the asset.

The agreed scope can include defined jetting of accessible drainage runs, preparation, flow checks and records of restrictions or damage exposed. The agreed scope names the jetted run, waste handling and follow-up inspection and states what will be supplied or tested at completion. Additional repairs, specialist design, testing or replacement are separate unless expressly included.

At completion, the owner or agent receives the jetted run, waste handling and follow-up inspection; any access limitation and the next job decision are stated.

Decide when cleaning should be followed by CCTV or repair assessment. Relate this choice to the property condition, access arrangement and owner or agent’s next instruction.

Before arranging the work, provide run size and access, known defects, blockage history, contamination, nearby occupants, water supply and disposal arrangements. For a managed or shared property, identify the owner, occupier, managing agent and person authorised to approve access or additional work.

Provide the run size and access, blockage history, known defects, water supply and waste arrangements. Confirm whether post-cleaning inspection is required.

Assess the run and risks, select the appropriate cleaning scope, jet the agreed section, verify flow and report defects or limits. At handover, the owner or agent can use the jetted run, waste handling and follow-up inspection to decide whether post-cleaning CCTV or repair is needed.

Scope and price are affected by access, length, deposits, water and waste handling, traffic control, out-of-hours working and preparation before CCTV. For a property job, provide the access arrangement, occupier or agent contact and any restriction on use relevant to high-pressure water jetting.

Owners, landlords, managing agents and occupiers may need high-pressure water jetting scoped around equipment access, waste handling and occupied-area protection. The sector directory provides the wider property context.

We cover Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, County Durham and Tees Valley, including Berwick-upon-Tweed, Alnwick, Morpeth, Hexham, Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead, Sunderland, Durham, Darlington, Hartlepool, Stockton-on-Tees, Middlesbrough and Redcar and Cleveland. For a property job, send the address with the jetted run, waste handling and follow-up inspection and the access or responsibility contact. View all locations.

It may remove accessible root growth, but root cutting does not repair the joint or prevent recurrence. Follow-up inspection may be needed to decide on repair or relining. For a property job, confirm the jetted run, waste handling and follow-up inspection with the owner or agent before work is arranged.

Yes, if pressure, nozzle and method are unsuitable for the pipe condition. The run, material, defects and access should be assessed before jetting is specified. Access through occupied rooms, shared areas or neighbouring land should be agreed with the occupier or agent before the visit.

Only if included in the instruction. Jetting and CCTV answer different questions; post-cleaning inspection can be added where the condition or repair decision requires it. The job decision should distinguish immediate making-safe work from a later repair, replacement or improvement instruction.

The recovered material and wastewater must be contained and handled under the agreed method. The scope should identify water supply, disposal, contamination controls and any access restrictions. At handover, give the owner or agent the property-specific record, outstanding action and any restriction on use.

Read what causes recurring drain blockages and what CCTV drain surveying involves to decide when cleaning should be followed by CCTV or repair assessment. Use the service assessment to apply that guidance to the property or site. For a property job, use this guidance alongside condition, access and the owner or agent approval route.

Contact Black & White Property Services with the property address, owner or agent contact, the jetted run, waste handling and follow-up inspection, access information and desired result. We can then define the job scope without assuming a response time or outcome.
