From busy retail streets in the city centre to industrial parks on the outskirts, Southampton’s commercial drainage infrastructure supports thousands of businesses daily. And when something goes wrong — a blocked gully, an overflowing manhole, or a backed-up kitchen drain — fast action is critical.

At Drains24, we specialise in commercial drainage services tailored to the needs of businesses across Southampton. Whether you run a small high-street café or manage an entire commercial property portfolio, our team is trusted for professional, fast-response service 24/7 — with no call-out fees.


📍 Areas We Cover Across Southampton

Our local engineers provide full commercial drainage coverage in:

🔹 Southampton City Centre

From the shopping bustle of WestQuay, Above Bar Street, and East Street to the night-time economy of Bedford Place, we regularly support bars, restaurants, salons, and retail units with blocked sinks, overflowing drains, and preventative maintenance.

🔹 Ocean Village & Itchen Riverside

In this marina hub, we work with hotels, serviced apartments, offices, and leisure venues where drainage issues must be dealt with discreetly and quickly. We handle high-end drainage Southampton clients with full reporting and traceable service logs.

🔹 Portswood, Bitterne & Shirley

These busy mixed-use zones include shops, cafes, schools, and GP surgeries. Blocked manholes, failed urinals, and grease-related kitchen blockages are common — all handled swiftly with minimal disruption.

🔹 Millbrook, Redbridge & Totton

With a concentration of logistics, trade counters, warehouses, and car showrooms, we regularly attend blocked drains in Southampton’s industrial estates and assist with wash bay drainage, interceptor cleaning, and gully clearance.

🔹 Eastleigh, Chandler’s Ford, Hedge End

We support business parks and large office complexes with CCTV surveys, regular drain maintenance contracts, and system health checks before or after property handovers.


🚨 Drainage Emergencies Handled Fast

Time is money — and a blocked toilet or flooded car park can damage more than your reputation.

Our commercial clients count on us for:

  • Overflowing drains during peak business hours
  • Blocked customer or staff toilets
  • Flooded basements or plant rooms
  • Water backing up in washdown areas
  • Fatbergs in restaurant kitchens
  • Broken gully lids or unsafe external drainage
  • Large-scale blockages after storms or site work

Our engineers are trained, equipped, and ready for drain unblocking Southampton-wide — any time, any business type.


🔧 Commercial Services We Offer

We tailor our solutions based on your business size, risk level, and drain layout. Services include:

✅ High-Pressure Drain Jetting

The fastest and most effective way to clear blockages caused by fat, grease, scale, silt, or debris. Essential for commercial kitchens, workshops, yards, and bin store areas.

✅ Mechanical Rodding

Ideal for tight or internal spaces like office kitchens, school toilets, and smaller retail sites where jetting isn’t appropriate.

✅ CCTV Drain Surveys (with Reports)

We use HD camera systems to inspect underground drainage networks. Full video reports with condition ratings and diagrams — ideal for landlords, insurers, and property managers.

✅ Preventative Maintenance

Scheduled inspections and cleans to prevent future problems. Helps reduce downtime and avoid emergency call-outs — and often required by lease agreements and insurance.

✅ Drain Repairs & Relining

We handle minor patch repairs to full excavations, including trenchless relining, root cutting, and collapsed drain replacements — always using compliant materials and full method statements.


🏪 Who We Work With

We support a wide range of commercial sectors with tailored drainage solutions, including:

  • Restaurants & Takeaways – FOG (fat, oil, grease) is the #1 cause of blocked drains in food premises
  • Retail Units & Shopping Centres – We work with property managers to minimise disruption and keep toilets, car park drains, and staff areas working
  • Offices & Business Parks – Scheduled drainage cleaning and CCTV inspections to ensure facilities stay operational
  • Warehouses, Distribution Centres, Car Dealerships – Gully clearance, interceptor pit cleaning, and heavy-duty system support
  • Health & Education Settings – Care homes, clinics, and schools trust us for safe, discreet, and regulation-compliant drainage works
  • Hotels, Venues, Leisure Facilities – We work out-of-hours where necessary to avoid guest disruption and health & safety issues

  • Blocked drains from fat, scale, and wipes
