Our Process
How It Works
Site assessment & permit check
Engineers attend, assess the chamber or manhole, carry out a risk assessment and confirm whether permits or highway works are required before accessing the chamber.
Safe access & diagnostics
Using confined‑space procedures, vacuum excavation and CCTV we gain safe access, de‑silt the chamber and pinpoint defects for repair or further investigation.
Repair, reinstate & report
We complete necessary repairs or reinstatement of frames and covers, tidy the site, provide CCTV footage and a written report, and advise on maintenance to prevent repeat issues.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
If the manhole sits in the public highway we usually coordinate with the local highways authority and, where necessary, arrange traffic management or permits. For access on private property no highway permit is required. We advise customers during the initial site assessment so there are no surprises.
