Hard Water Damages More Than Your Kettle

Reading’s water is hard — and that scale doesn’t just build up in your kettle. Over years it coats the inside of waste pipes, gradually narrowing the bore until water trickles where it should flow. Drains slow, blockages catch, smells develop, pipes corrode early.

We descale waste pipes using specialist high-pressure equipment with descaling nozzles — cutting through hardened scale without chemicals or pipe damage. Most jobs are completed in a few hours with CCTV verification before and after.

Where Descaling Helps

Slow Domestic Drains

Sinks and showers slow despite no visible blockage.

Commercial Kitchens

Hot water plus detergent = aggressive scale build-up.

Industrial Process Pipes

Process water pipework with mineral fouling.

Older Property Pipes

Decades of accumulated scale in old metal pipework.

What Reading Customers Say About Descaling

Valerie H. — Reading

"Limescale-narrowed pipes in our 1960s house. Descaling restored full flow. Should have been done decades ago."

Café Manager — Reading

"Commercial kitchen drains scaling badly with hard water. Quarterly descaling has solved the slow drainage problem."

"Bath always drained slowly. Descaling found massive build-up, restored proper flow. Bath drains in seconds now."

Hilary M. — Reading

"Old metal pipework descaled carefully. They were honest about what would and wouldn't work. Excellent skilled work."

Drain Descaling FAQs

How much does drain descaling cost in Reading?

From £220 for a single drain run, £450+ for whole-system descaling. Commercial sites quoted per scope.

Will descaling damage my pipes?

No — pressure is calibrated to pipe material. We pre-CCTV to check pipe condition first; if pipes can’t take it, we tell you.

How do I know if my drains need descaling?

Slow drainage with no blockage, hard water area, no descaling done in many years — all indicators. Free CCTV check confirms.

How often should drains be descaled?

Domestic: every 5–10 years in hard water areas. Commercial kitchens: every 1–2 years. Industrial: per process schedule.

Can old cast iron pipes be descaled?

Sometimes — depends on pipe condition. We CCTV check first and tell you if it’s not suitable.

What's the difference between descaling and jetting?

Jetting removes soft deposits (grease, debris). Descaling cuts through hardened mineral scale. Different equipment, different process.
