Road gully cleaning removes material from authorised highway drainage collection points. We arrange the cleaning around the commissioning body and required traffic controls. A gully may belong to the highway authority, so responsibility and permission need to be established before equipment is positioned on the road.

Gully pots and highway connections
The pot can hold silt beneath the grating even when the road surface looks clear.
Traffic controls and safe cleaning
Road gully work is carried out under the appropriate commissioning and traffic arrangements.
Gully pots and highway connections
The pot can hold silt beneath the grating even when the road surface looks clear. Suction recovers that retained material, with the accessible outlet checked separately. A blocked connection, high downstream level or road geometry can still leave water ponding after the pot is emptied.

Traffic controls and safe cleaning
Road gully work is carried out under the appropriate commissioning and traffic arrangements. Vehicles, hoses and open gratings are controlled within the authorised working area. Recovered material is handled according to its contamination, and damaged covers or unstable surrounds are considered before access.
Outlet restrictions and highway defects
We identify the gullies cleaned and any point that still drains poorly. Damaged covers, unstable surrounds and wider drainage issues are reported separately from the emptying result, and repeated ponding may need investigation beyond the gully pot.
Exact gully references show which collection points were cleaned and link any follow-up jetting, cover repair or drainage investigation to the correct location.
Road Gully Cleaning: common questions
Can a private contractor work on any road gully?
Work needs the appropriate commissioning authority and highway arrangements.
Does a cleaned gully prevent every road flood?
No. Drainage capacity, connecting pipes and road geometry can still cause ponding.
How is recovered road-gully material handled?
It is assessed according to its contamination before the receiving route is selected.
How are vehicles and open gratings managed during road gully cleaning?
Vehicles, hoses and open gratings are kept within the authorised working area under the agreed traffic arrangements.
Are exact gully locations recorded?
We identify the agreed collection points and any that remain incomplete.
