When Jetting Isn’t Enough — Milling Gets Results

Standard drain jetting can’t always tackle severe internal obstructions like heavy scale, concrete residue, or root ingress. In these cases, specialist mechanical cleaning is the only way forward. Many clients come to us after experiencing:

• Reduced flow due to years of scale or limescale build-up

• Tree roots breaching or invading underground pipework

• Hard concrete or grout deposits from construction activity

• Repeat blockages that jetting can't resolve long-term

• Drainage defects identified during CCTV surveys

• Concerns over damage or disruption from excavation

  
  

At Eighty Eight, our drain milling service uses specialist rotating cutters designed to:

• Mechanically break down hardened scale, cement, roots, and deposits

• Clear pipe diameters ranging from small domestic to large industrial systems

• Restore internal pipe conditions without the need for digging or replacement

• Work in conjunction with CCTV surveys for accurate diagnosis and aftercare

• Support lining or repair work by preparing pipes beforehand

• Operate cleanly, efficiently, and with minimal site disruption
