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.
