Drainage Services for Film and TV Locations in Stevenage, Hemel Hempstead, and across Hertfordshire

Here at DMS (UK) Ltd, we’re not surprised

that many film and TV production companies choose to shoot in the South East. There are so many excellent locations to choose from to suit such a wide array of productions, from historical set-pieces to modern drama series.

One thing that is often overlooked

by location managers is the quality of the drainage systems, whether on an interior or external shoot. Poor drainage can lead to flooding, water damage, or health risks, all of which can delay a film shoot. Fortunately, we are here to help.

Specialist Film and TV Location Drainage Services

We offer an extensive range of drain maintenance services, specifically tailored towards the film and TV production industry. Whether you are in the area for a couple of day or for an extended shoot, you can rely on us to ensure that your on-set drainage runs the way that it should. Here is what you can expect from us…

Full Location Drain Surveys

Before your crew even arrives on set, we can perform a detailed drain survey of the location. This ensures that all pipework is in good working order, all drains and gulleys are operating as intended, and that there is no risk of flooding or overflow. This allows you to begin your shoot in confidence.

Blocked Drains and Gullies

If you encounter a blocked, overflowing, or flooded drain or road gully on your set, you need someone to attend to it before it gets worse. At DMS (UK) Ltd, we promise a fast turnaround for any production companies in the region. We use high-pressure water jets to break down and dislodge the blockage, allowing waste-water to flow freely into the sewers once again.

Septic Tank Emptying

If you’re engaged in a long shoot on a rural location without access to the local sewage system, odds are your set will need a septic tank. It is equally likely that this will need emptying out a time or two. We offer a regular septic tank emptying service and we can work around your shooting schedule, to not disturb your cast or crew.

Your Local Film and TV Location Drainage Specialists

However long you intend to be shooting your production, it makes sense to take advantage of local knowledge and experience. We are based in Hatfield, Hertfordshire and we know the South East region well. From our office, we travel across our own county and into Bedfordshire, North London, and West London, assisting film and television crews with their drainage concerns. This includes locations as far afield as:
  • Harlow

...and beyond. For more information, visit our
