At Lanes, we offer a wide range of drainage services to help businesses prevent the risk of pollution and mitigate the impact of flooding, spills and extreme weather.
Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) services
Our Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) service includes routine visits from our team of expert engineers. These visits help you manage the necessary repairs to keep your foul and surface water drainage systems functioning properly.
Having a well-maintained system allows it to perform at its best, ensuring it can handle extreme weather events that are expected to occur more frequently due to climate change.
Preventative maintenance is also more cost-effective compared to the significantly higher expenses associated with repairs and cleanup after a pollution incident has taken place.

We can assist you with installing proactive control technology on your premises, including monitoring devices and specialist non-return valves for your drainage system. This will help reduce the risk of flooding and pollution further, ensuring you can keep track of any potential issues before they occur.

Why is pollution prevention so important for businesses?
Awareness of the importance of strong environmental stewardship has never been higher in the British business community. Regulators and consumers alike are paying closer attention to the environmental credentials of companies they work with than ever before, making it essential for these organisations to take this duty seriously.
If your business is found to be responsible for polluting or damaging protected species, natural habitats, water or soil, the legal consequences can be severe. Under UK law, you can be charged a potentially unlimited fine on a “polluter pays” basis; in the most serious cases, your organisation may also be prosecuted.
As such, it is vital that businesses are doing all they can to prevent pollution, including contaminants from sources such as sewage and wastewater, production waste, agricultural run-off, oil and chemical spills, or leakage from storage vessels. One of the key ways of doing this is to make sure your premises’ drains are kept in good working order, reducing the risk of the system blocking and backing up in case of a flood.
Blocked gullies and culverts are also prone to causing floods. Find out how our drainage services team helped to prevent floods from culverts in our article ‘100 Tons of Debris Removed From Culverts to Help Prevent Floods’.
