Manchester
Manchester drain cleaning questions often come down to industrial-era drains and United Utilities sewers. Typical work here includes blocked drains, CCTV surveys and jetting.
Housing and drains and sewers in Manchester
Greater Manchester’s terraced housing often has clay drains with shared runs typical of industrial-era housing.
Older clay drains, shared runs and street-tree roots are common reasons homeowners call for a CCTV survey before any cutting or excavation.
Climate, storms and blockage risk
Wet winters and leaf fall drive blockages; kitchen fat and wipes are common causes.
High-pressure jetting and CCTV surveys are planned around access and local weather — not a one-size package.
Local approvals and rules
United Utilities is the sewerage undertaker; private drains serving a single property remain the owner’s responsibility.
In England and Wales, drains serving a single property are usually private, while sewers serving more than one property are generally the water company's responsibility after transfer under the Water Industry Act. Water companies such as Thames Water, United Utilities and Severn Trent publish guidance on blocked drains and CCTV surveys.

Blocked drains, CCTV surveys and jetting. Every property is different, so the line is inspected on site before any repair is recommended or quoted.
Know where your inspection chambers and stopcock are, keep the area clear, and note whether upstairs and downstairs drains are affected before the visit.
