Commercial drainage
that keeps you running.

A drainage emergency doesn't just cost the drainage bill — it costs lost trade, regulatory compliance, and reputation. NorthFlow's planned maintenance contracts prevent emergencies before they happen, with priority emergency response when you need it most.

Sectors We Serve

Built for every commercial sector

We work with businesses across Teesside and the wider North East that cannot afford drainage downtime — and who need a contractor they can actually rely on.

Restaurants & Food Service

Grease trap management, kitchen drain jetting every 3–6 months. We understand the impact of a Friday evening closure.

Commercial & Office Buildings

Full-building drainage maintenance for landlords and managing agents. Single invoice, one contact.

Care Homes & Healthcare

CQC-compliant maintenance with full written service records. Zero tolerance for drainage failure.

Hotels & Hospitality

High-occupancy bathroom systems demand regular maintenance. Emergency response that understands guest experience.

Schools & Education

Maintenance scheduled during holidays. Emergency response with safeguarding awareness.

Property Management

Portfolio contracts covering multiple sites across the North East — better rates, single point of contact.

Retail & Leisure

The Business Case

Reactive vs planned maintenance — the real numbers

Emergency / Reactive
£800–3k+

Per incident — including out-of-hours callout rates, business disruption, lost trade, clean-up costs and potential regulatory consequences.

Annual Contract
From £300

Per year for a typical commercial property. Includes annual CCTV survey, scheduled jetting, priority emergency cover and full service records.

Most commercial properties experience at least one significant drainage incident every 2–3 years if drainage is left unmanaged. A single emergency typically costs more than 3–4 years of planned maintenance.

Restaurant Friday evening service — kitchen drain blocked completely. NorthFlow answered immediately, on site within 90 minutes, cleared it without us needing to close. On an annual contract now and haven't had an emergency since.

How often should a commercial property have its drains serviced?
For most commercial properties, annually as a minimum. Restaurants and food businesses with significant grease output should have jetting every 3–6 months. We assess and recommend the right frequency for your property during the free site assessment.
Can maintenance be scheduled outside business hours?
Yes — we routinely schedule commercial visits early morning, evenings, weekends and during planned closures to avoid disruption. Schools are typically serviced during half-term and holidays.
Do you cover multiple sites under one contract?
Yes — portfolio contracts are available for property management companies, housing associations, and multi-site businesses across the North East. Better rates, single invoice, one point of contact.
What service records do you provide?
We provide full written service reports after every visit — including what was inspected, work carried out, any defects noted, and recommendations. This documentation meets CQC, Food Standards Agency, and insurance requirements.
What is the emergency response time for contracted clients?
Contracted commercial clients receive priority response — we target 2 hours for genuine emergencies anywhere within Teesside and the wider North East.
Do you cover Newcastle, Sunderland and Gateshead for commercial contracts?
Yes — we provide commercial maintenance contracts across the full North East, including Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland, South Shields, Durham, Darlington and all surrounding areas.
