Drainage 2000

What Drainage 2000 does

Drainage 2000 is a UK-based drainage services contractor founded in 1999 by Andrew Moreton and headquartered at Unit 38, Station Lane Industrial Estate, Old Whittington, Chesterfield (S41 9QX). The company delivers a comprehensive portfolio of drainage services to domestic homeowners, commercial businesses, and infrastructure clients across Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, and South Yorkshire, with extended UK-wide capability for major infrastructure projects including rail networks, highways, and construction sites. Core offerings span blocked-drain clearance (high-pressure water jetting), CCTV drain surveys (WinCan reporting systems, OS19/21 trained operators), no-dig pipe relining, tanker jetting, jet-vac and vactor services (claimed up to 600% faster than conventional jetting), vacuumation tankers, excavation repairs, septic tank servicing for rural properties, and grease trap installation/maintenance for commercial kitchens.

The operational backbone is one of the largest fleets of tankers, jetters, and CCTV units in the UK, with jetting pumps from 14-70 gallons per minute and tank capacities from 400-1200 gallons; all vehicles carry gas detectors, escape sets, man-rescue winches, and CCTV equipment. The company holds ISO 9001 (BSI), CHAS, SafeContractor, NADC, Water Jetting Association, CSCS, and a Waste Carriers Licence (expiry 22-09-2027), and engineers are NRSWA-accredited, confined-spaces certified, and PTS-trained for trackside work. These credentials underpin eligibility for regulated infrastructure and commercial contracts.

The business operates a direct-to-customer 24/7 field service model with no call-out fees and fixed upfront pricing (domestic blockages from £75 + VAT). Revenue is generated through one-time service fees (drain unblocking, CCTV surveys, excavations), recurring planned maintenance contracts for commercial customers (tailored annual programmes), and emergency response services. Named commercial customers include Biffa (waste management), Goodman Sparks Ltd (commercial laundry equipment), and Hasland Junior School. The company is founder-owned and privately held, with no external investment, M&A activity, or parent company disclosed, and Andrew Moreton continues to serve as CEO.
