Interceptors and gullies for riverside industry, pump stations for Barking Riverside’s new homes, and drains for the estates of Barking and Dagenham.
Barking and Dagenham has a long industrial riverside along the Thames and the Roding, with yards, depots, warehouses and factories that need interceptors and gullies cleaned. Alongside them, Barking Riverside is one of London’s largest new housing developments, and new homes like these often rely on pump stations.
Much of the borough was built as the huge Becontree estate between the wars, so there are thousands of homes with drains that are now a century old. The town centre’s restaurants and takeaways need grease traps emptied. Low ground near the river drains slowly.
We’re SafeContractor, Achilles UVDB and RISQS approved, our crews work in east London most days, and we answer the phone 24 hours a day.
Around Creekmouth, River Road and the Dagenham riverside, heavy vehicles, scrap and waste operations put a lot of oil and silt into yard drains. We empty separators, jet gullies and channel drains, and give you the paperwork your permit or insurer may ask for.
