What is Gully Cleaning?
Gully cleaning removes surface water from roads. They can frequently become blocked with dead leaves, soil and rubbish. This prevents the Gully from letting water through to the outlet drain. This can lead to serious flooding, accidents and damage to the road, it can also be the cause of water seeping into the foundations of your building.
We provide domestic and commercial customers with gully cleaning services. Our range of Hydro Jetting vans and Jet Vacuum Tankers are equipped to tackle any job, large or small. We provide removal of all blockages from each gully, high pressure water jetting of the gully and flush test to ensure everything is in working order on completion.

The Benefits of Gully Cleaning
Gully cleaning, also known as catch basin or storm drain cleaning, is an essential maintenance task for maintaining the proper functioning of urban drainage systems. Regular gully cleaning offers a range of benefits, both for the environment and local communities. Some of these benefits include:
- Flood prevention: Regular gully cleaning helps prevent blockages in the drainage system, which in turn reduces the risk of localised flooding during heavy rainfall.
- Protecting water quality: By removing pollutants, debris, and sediments, gully cleaning helps prevent these substances from entering the water system, thereby preserving the quality of water in rivers, lakes, and oceans.
- Reducing pollution: Gully cleaning helps prevent harmful substances, like oil, chemicals, and other pollutants, from entering watercourses and causing damage to the environment.
- Maintaining infrastructure: Regular maintenance and cleaning of gullies help to prolong the lifespan of the drainage system, reducing the need for costly repairs or replacements.
- Aesthetic benefits: Clean gullies contribute to a cleaner, more attractive urban environment, fostering a sense of pride and well-being among local residents.
- Preventing pest infestations: By removing organic matter and debris, gully cleaning helps to minimise the risk of pests, such as rodents and insects, breeding in the drainage system.
- Enhancing public health and safety: Clean and well-maintained gullies reduce the risk of accidents caused by standing water or slippery surfaces, as well as the spread of waterborne diseases.
- Cost-effective: Regular gully cleaning is more cost-effective in the long run, as it helps to prevent expensive damage to infrastructure and reduces the need for emergency repairs.
- Supporting biodiversity: By maintaining clean waterways, gully cleaning indirectly supports biodiversity by providing a healthier environment for aquatic plants and animals.
- Compliance with regulations: Regular gully cleaning helps cities and municipalities to comply with environmental regulations and guidelines, avoiding potential fines and penalties.
