Drainage Maintenance: Over a lifetime the average Brit spends 5 months washing up
Did you know the average Brit spends over five months—about 170 days—of their life washing dishes? That’s nearly 98 minutes each week, or roughly 85 hours every year. So when your sink clogs, it’s not just a small inconvenience—it’s a major disruption.
This becomes even more critical in commercial environments, where the lack of washing facilities can seriously impact business operations and customer service. That’s why investing in regular drainage maintenance is so important—it helps prevent costly surprises that could grind your work to a halt.
A recent example of how reactive maintenance can save the day comes from a high-street pharmacy in Romford. Their sink became completely blocked, threatening both hygiene standards and their ability to serve customers. Recognising the urgency, we classified this as a priority reactive maintenance job, sending an engineer within hours to prevent expensive downtime.
On site, our engineer removed the P-trap and used specialist rodding and wet vacuum tools to extract a staggering amount of grease, gunk, and buildup from the pipes. Once the blockage was cleared, we rigorously tested the system to ensure proper drainage and restore hygienic water flow allowing the pharmacy to resume operations without delay.
The impact of something as seemingly simple as a clogged sink shouldn’t be underestimated. In any setting where every minute counts and strict hygiene is essential, proactive drainage maintenance is key to avoiding such disruptions.
So if your business relies on dependable wash-up facilities—whether in a kitchen, café, pub, pharmacy, or clinic don’t let avoidable blockages steal valuable time. Our team specialises in both planned drainage maintenance to keep everything running smoothly, and swift reactive maintenance to handle unexpected problems before they escalate.
