Tree Root Removal in Warrington & The North West

When you have a drainage problem, you need a team you can trust to solve it quickly and professionally. At Avery Drainage Solutions, we’ve built our reputation on reliability, expertise, and putting our customers’ needs first. We understand the stress a blocked or broken drain can cause, which is why we offer straightforward advice and effective, lasting solutions.

You could think of it as keyhole surgery for your pipes. Instead of digging up the ground, our team uses specialist equipment to work from inside the drain. We start with a CCTV camera to identify the exact location and severity of the root growth. Then, we use high-pressure water jets with special cutting heads or a mechanical miller to cut, grind, and flush the roots out of the system. It's a precise job that clears the pipe without needing to remove the tree.

In almost all cases, no. Our work is focused on removing the roots that have entered the pipework. The tree itself can usually be left untouched. If the tree is protected by a conservation order or you are concerned about its health, we recommend consulting a qualified arborist for advice on the tree itself. Our service is designed to solve the drainage problem with minimal disruption to your garden and property.

We use professional, purpose-built equipment. This includes powerful van-mounted water jetters that can generate pressures high enough to cut through tough wood fibres, and a range of specialist cutting heads designed for different pipe sizes and root types. For very dense root masses, we may use a mechanical Warthog or chain flail cutter. This is not equipment available for DIY jobs; it requires a trained and qualified team to be operated safely and effectively.

Root trimming or pruning inside the pipe is an effective way to restore flow and remove the immediate blockage. However, if the crack in the pipe that allowed the roots to enter in the first place is not repaired, the roots will eventually grow back. For a permanent fix, after the roots have been removed, we strongly recommend a no-dig repair service like patch lining or drain relining. This seals the pipe, preventing the roots from ever getting back in and providing a long-term solution for our clients.

Tree roots in drains can cause serious structural damage if not handled correctly. Attempting to clear them with basic rods can compact the roots, making the blockage worse, or even break the pipe. Our professional team has the right equipment and knowledge to do the job safely. We can fully remove the obstruction and provide you with a CCTV inspection to show you the clear, free-flowing pipe.
