Our Fleet, Our People
A quality tanker service depends on two things: capable vehicles and skilled operators. At Drain247, we invest heavily in both.
- A Flexible Fleet for Any Job: We operate a diverse fleet, from smaller, manoeuvrable tankers perfect for restricted London sites, to large-capacity vehicles for major industrial jobs. Our combination JetVac units offer the ultimate all-in-one solution for waste removal and cleaning.
- Commitment to Safety & Compliance: Our operators are highly trained, certified, and adhere to the strictest safety protocols. As a licensed waste carrier, we guarantee your waste is handled legally, with all required Waste Transfer Notes provided for your records. This fulfils your “Duty of Care” and gives you complete peace of mind.
Advanced Tanker Technology for Any Challenge
A modern tanker is a powerful and versatile tool. Our vehicles are equipped with high-performance vacuum pumps that can safely and efficiently remove vast quantities of liquid and semi-solid waste from almost any location.
Many of our vehicles are JetVac (or combination) tankers, featuring integrated high-pressure water jetting systems. This allows us to not only perform water extraction or waste removal but also to deep-clean the tank, drain, or gully in a single visit, providing a complete and efficient service.
We are fully licensed waste carrier, Drain247 ensures a compliant and environmentally responsible service, handling all transportation and disposal paperwork for you.

Fixed-Price Transparency: No hourly “surprises.” We provide clear, fixed quotations for scheduled emptying and “price-per-load” rates for emergency extraction.
How Our Combination Tankers Work
Unlike standard vacuum tankers that only suck waste, our Combination (Combi) Units feature a split tank. This allows us to carry clean water for high-pressure jetting while simultaneously storing extracted waste. This dual-action capability means we can jet a blocked culvert to break up silt and immediately vacuum the debris preventing downstream blockages and saving you the cost of hiring two separate vehicles.
Comprehensive Liquid Waste Management
Septic Tank & Cesspit Emptying: Scheduled maintenance for domestic and commercial off-mains drainage. We carry 80m extended hoses to reach tanks in rear gardens without driving on your lawn.
Emergency Flood Water Extraction: Rapid removal from basements, lift shafts, and loading bays. Our Combi-Units simultaneously jet the blockage and suck up the standing water.
Petrol Interceptors & Grease Traps: Compliance cleaning for forecourts and restaurants. We remove hazardous waste and provide all Environment Agency documentation.
Gully Sucking & Car Park Maintenance: High-pressure flushing for road gullies and ACO channel drains. Essential annual maintenance for retail parks and industrial estates.
Industrial Sludge & Wet Waste: Heavy-duty removal of drilling slurry and construction sludge. Our high-flow pumps move thick waste that standard jetters cannot handle.
