Our Root Removal & Drain Clearing Services

Tree roots are one of the biggest hidden threats to drainage systems. Once they penetrate pipes through tiny cracks or loose joints, they can spread quickly, causing severe blockages, leaks, and structural damage. At Drain Master UK, we provide professional tree root cutting, CCTV surveys, no-dig pipe repairs, and preventative maintenance to keep your drains free-flowing and protected. Whether it’s a domestic home in Twickenham or a large commercial property in Richmond, Kingston, or Surbiton, our root removal and clearing services are designed to deliver long-lasting results with minimal disruption.

Tree Root Cutting & Drain Clearing

Roots growing inside drains can restrict water flow, cause recurring blockages, and even fracture pipework. Left untreated, they can lead to flooding and costly repairs. Our engineers use mechanical root cutters and high-pressure water jetting to cut through even the most stubborn root systems, flushing them safely out of your drains. This process restores full flow quickly and avoids unnecessary excavation. Once the roots are cleared, we recommend a CCTV drain survey to confirm the drains are fully clear and protected against further intrusion.

CCTV Drain Surveys for Tree Root Intrusion

CCTV Drain Surveys for Tree Root Intrusion

To deal with root intrusion effectively, you need to know the full extent of the problem. Our engineers carry out CCTV drain surveys using high-resolution cameras to detect root ingress, cracks, and blockages deep within the system. This allows us to pinpoint the exact location of the damage, plan the most effective treatment, and provide you with detailed reports and video evidence. Whether you’re a homeowner, landlord, or commercial property manager, a CCTV survey ensures complete transparency and peace of mind before and after root removal.

Drain Repairs & No-Dig Relining After Root Damage

When tree roots have already caused pipe fractures, cracks, or even partial collapses, clearing alone isn’t enough. We provide trenchless drain relining solutions that repair and reinforce damaged pipes from the inside, without the need for disruptive excavation. Our no-dig technology creates a durable, watertight seal, preventing future root intrusion and extending the lifespan of your drainage system. This cost-effective method is suitable for both residential and commercial properties, making it the ideal long-term solution for root-damaged drains in South West London.

FAQs – Root Removal & Drain Clearing in Twickenham & South West London

How do I know if tree roots are blocking my drains?+

Typical signs include slow-draining sinks, frequent toilet blockages, gurgling from pipes, bad odours, and recurring external overflows. You may also see damp patches or small sinkholes outdoors. A CCTV drain survey confirms root intrusion quickly and accurately.

How do you detect where the drain smell is coming from?+

We combine CCTV inspections, smoke testing, and targeted cleaning to trace odours to partial blockages, traps, or defects. This non-invasive approach pinpoints the source without unnecessary excavation.

Can tree roots damage underground pipes?+

Yes. Roots follow moisture, exploit tiny cracks and joints, and can cause major blockages, leaks, fractures, and even pipe collapse. Early root cutting and no-dig relining prevent expensive structural repairs.

How are tree roots removed from drains?+

Our engineers use mechanical root cutters and high-pressure water jetting to slice through and flush out roots. Most jobs are completed without excavation. A post-clear CCTV survey confirms the line is fully clear.

Will root cutting damage my tree or garden?+

No. We remove intrusive root growth inside the pipe only. Our no-dig methods work within the drainage system, minimising disruption to lawns, patios, and landscaping.

Do I need excavation to repair root-damaged drains?+

Usually not. Our trenchless drain relining repairs cracks and offsets internally, creating a durable, watertight liner. Excavation is only needed for severe collapses or where relining isn’t feasible.

What pipe materials can you reline?+

We routinely reline clay, cast iron, PVC/uPVC, and concrete drains. We’ll assess the condition via CCTV survey and advise the most effective long-term solution.

Do I get a written CCTV report and video?+

Yes. We provide a full survey report with timestamped video, defect coding, and recommendations—ideal for insurance claims or property records.

Can roots grow back after removal?+

They can if defects remain. That’s why we often recommend no-dig relining or targeted repairs to seal joints and cracks, plus preventative maintenance for high-risk sites.

How can I prevent future root intrusion?+

Schedule periodic CCTV checks and maintenance jetting, reline vulnerable sections, and avoid planting thirsty species directly over pipe routes. We can map your drains and advise safe planting distances.

How quickly can you attend in Twickenham & South West London?+

We offer 24/7 emergency callouts with rapid same-day response across Twickenham, Kingston, Surbiton, Richmond, Barnes, Teddington, Chiswick, Hampton, and Staines.

How long does root removal or relining take?+

Root cutting and clearance typically take 1–3 hours depending on access and severity. Small relining sections are often completed the same day; larger projects may take longer after curing.

How much does root removal and drain clearing cost?+

Pricing depends on the extent of intrusion, pipe condition, access, and whether repairs are needed. We provide transparent quotes after CCTV assessment—no hidden extras—and cover all nearby areas with competitive rates.

Do you offer guarantees or warranties?+

Yes. Our workmanship is guaranteed, and relining installations include a manufacturer-backed warranty. We’ll confirm terms in your quote and report.

Who is responsible for drains affected by roots—me or the water company?+

Generally, private drains within your boundary are the homeowner’s responsibility. Shared laterals and public sewers are typically managed by the local water company. We’ll advise after survey and can liaise where appropriate.

Can you help with insurance claims and reports?+

Absolutely. We supply CCTV videos, defect coding, and costed recommendations suitable for insurers and loss adjusters. We can speak directly with your insurer if needed.

Do I need permits for this work?+

No-dig clearing and relining on private property usually require no permits. If excavation or highway access is necessary, we’ll arrange all permissions and traffic management.

Do you offer commercial & industrial root removal services?+

Yes—tailored programmes for restaurants, hotels, schools, retail parks, housing associations, and industrial sites, including out-of-hours and 24/7 emergency attendance.

What areas do you cover?+

We serve Twickenham, Kingston, Surbiton, Richmond, Barnes, Teddington, Ealing, Chiswick, Hampton, Staines and wider South West London postcodes TW1–TW20, W1–W14, KT1–KT24, SW13–SW15.

Testimonials

Unblocking kitchen sink and clearing pipes.

Work carried out quickly and efficiently. Spencer was friendly and polite and discussed all aspects of the job with me.

Customer in Twickenham August 22, 2019

Cleared a waste pipe from the washing machine

The blockage turned out to be more difficult than expected. They investigated thoroughly and stuck with it until the problem was resolved. They gave advice how to prevent this reoccurring. Talked through the problem with me. Really happy with the work completed.

Customer in Twickenham August 22, 2019

Cleared a blocked external drain.

Spencer showed me the problem before starting work. The drain was full of fat, built up over a period of two years. I was offered a high pressure jetting of the pipes as an extra, which I accepted. I have used this family company three times over the past six years and have found them to be very professional and reasonably priced. I have no hesitation in recommending them. The job took around an hour to complete.

Customer in Teddington August 22, 2019
