WJA-Certified: What Our Water Jetting Training Means for Southampton Clients

WJA Certified

Table of Contents

At Southampton Drains24, safety and professional standards are at the core of every job we take on — and that’s why our team is fully trained and certified by the Water Jetting Association (WJA).

Whether we’re unblocking a drain in Portswood, performing high-pressure jetting in Bitterne, or clearing a flooded manhole in Shirley, our WJA-certified engineers ensure the work is not only fast and effective but also completed to the highest industry standards.

Here’s what WJA certification means for you, our clients — and why it matters for safe, high-performance drainage work.

What Is the Water Jetting Association?

The Water Jetting Association (WJA) is the UK’s leading authority on water jetting training and standards. It provides accredited training courses for jetting operatives and contractors, helping maintain safety and operational excellence across the industry.

WJA-certified contractors, like Drains24 Southampton, undergo regular training, testing, and assessment to ensure:

  • Proper handling of high-pressure water jetting equipment
  • Compliance with health and safety regulations
  • Up-to-date understanding of new technology and jetting techniques
  • Accountability through recognised certification and ID cards

What WJA Training Involves

All Drains24 operatives complete the Water Jetting Safety Awareness course, which is the WJA’s entry-level safety training. This intensive one-day course covers:

  • Jetting system components
  • Water pressure and flow safety
  • PPE requirements
  • Risk assessment protocols
  • Emergency procedures

To become operational, our engineers also complete practical modules such as:

  • ✅ Drain and Sewer Cleaning
  • ✅ Tube and Pipe Cleaning
  • ✅ Hydrodemolition
  • ✅ Surface Preparation

Each module is taught by City & Guilds-accredited instructors and is regularly updated to reflect current regulations and industry best practices.

All certifications must be refreshed every three years — a requirement we strictly follow to keep our team sharp and safe on-site.

The WJA Level 2 Qualification

Some of our senior team members also hold the ABBE Level 2 Water Jetting Technician Certificate, a high-level qualification supported by the WJA and City & Guilds. It involves real-world assessments and health and safety modules, giving them eligibility for:

  • The WJA Competent Operative Card
  • The Blue CSCS Skilled Worker Card

This qualification reflects real hands-on expertise in water jetting, further strengthening the trust our clients place in us.

  • 📋 Fully insured and certified

  • ✅ Accountable under the WJA’s code of conduct and standards
