Drain and sewer issues usually come to the fore only when people have an emergency, particularly in residential properties.

However, if you run a business or complex operation from commercial premises, where a flood or blockage could disrupt your operation, cause financial loss, harm your reputation, or pose a public risk, then a trusted partnership with a drainage and sewerage specialist can be crucial for your success.

Understanding Commercial Drainage Needs

The drainage solutions for commercial clients are vastly different from those required for residential properties. Commercial sites, whether they are retail spaces, industrial complexes, or agricultural lands, require robust systems capable of handling high volumes of wastewater and preventing surface water accumulation. Understanding these unique needs allows us to design and implement effective drainage solutions for commercial clients that ensure smooth operations and prevent costly disruptions.

We believe in the importance of building long-term relationships with clients through regular contracts and service programmes. More importantly, the level of care and expertise that our team provides, coupled with the range of specialist services we offer, keeps our commercial clients returning.

Applying our full range of services to support a polytunnel project

At D&S Services we recently helped a commercial client to install new polytunnels to their property, which required a wide range of supporting infrastructure, including efficient drainage and controllable irrigation.

As well as preparing the site, cleaning and levelling the ground and removing any waste in readiness for anchoring structures for the polytunnel, we were also able to help with installing these services.

Polytunnels require drainage as well as a water supply. We were able to lay industry standard ACO drainage channels, which are critical for preventing damage to valuable and vulnerable crops by quickly removing surface water into the main drainage system. We also installed the structures on which the hydrants would sit for the client’s water sprinkler systems.

The benefits of a long-term relationship with commercial customers

At Drain and Sewer Services we’ve been using the past 50 years of trading to build up a reputation for reliability and commitment to delivering the highest standards of professionalism and customer care for our clients.

To provide the best service, we utilise advanced technology in our drainage solutions for commercial clients. Remote-controlled CCTV camera inspections allow for detailed assessments of drainage systems, identifying blockages, damages, and areas requiring repair without extensive excavation. This technology-driven approach minimizes disruption to business operations and provides precise data for effective maintenance and repair plans.

Speaking of reputation, we work to stringent Health and Safety standards and ensure that our engineers are highly trained and experienced. This allows us to guarantee our teams’ workmanship and have the confidence that they will understand and apply the safety measures required to safeguard the well-being of the general public. This protects us and our clients from potential legal action but it also allows clients to continue doing business with the minimum of disruption to their operation.

With easy access to the UK motorway network, we can provide a fast response to an emergency as well as the swift and efficient arrival of all our service plant equipment, along with our highly trained and experienced engineers, to your commercial premises.

To that ensure we live up to our standards, we also operate our own fleet of specialist vehicles and plant, backed up by our in-house technical support team so that we never let our clients down.

Our range of services support the more complex and high-volume needs placed on commercial drainage systems, including:

  • Unblocking drains, culverts, sewers and guttering
  • Maintaining, emptying and cleaning septic tanks
  • Keeping pumping stations in good working order
  • Dealing with, and replacing, burst watermains
  • Surveys, testing and routine checks using state-of-the-art, remote-controlled CCTV camera systems
  • Groundworks, including hardstanding, roads and walkways (we are NSWRA accredited to work on public roads)

We value the loyalty of our clients, built up over the years, and we believe a healthy relationship benefits both sides. The level of familiarity we have with our long-term partners helps us to understand their needs better and minimise disruption while we work.
