Interested to pick your brains.
I am doing some car park surface drains - down in Haverhill, on a store clean.
The drains are the slit ones that have an interceptor (sump) every 15 metres, 4 inch diameter and normally we flush them through, lift the debris from the interceptor and then repeat till clear.
Next to the service yard I have got a 10 metre section between interceptors that seems to have had cement dropped down it or a sand and powder mix that has set.
Will a root cutter get through this or do I need to get something else. Not a mega problem if you don't know but I have tried to break it up with a thin steel bar we use but to no effect
Cheers

Ive been asked through a friend of a friend if we would go down to warwickshire and clean a detatched house, probably similar but not a mansion...
Will be charging £300 + for 2 of us to go down because its in and out and its 4 hours driving so not much else will get down that day - if he wants us to do it it will be funny

not sure of a concrete but we do cctv surveys and when we come to a root, we would cut that section and replace, i take it we are talking 4" plastic, you can just cut the section and replace a new section, allow room for couplings.

Cutting it out is not an option. Concrete preformed/sectional. Would the root cutter approach destroy the blades or do I tell the client that it is a replacement section?

Yes
Stacked out at the moment, Haverhill, Beeston & the odd trip down to Epsom. Got a few days worth of work at the end of the month in Eastbourne. Handing out a lot of business cards at the moment - to the right people!!!!
I may have a very big in with some very large nursing homes in Nottinghamshire - will find out next week!!
Going to give you a call when I get a minute next week, chat about your canvassers. Want someone in to put me together an instant round.
Are you busy.
Rob ;D
