Blockage Clearance
Investigation, clearance and restoration of blocked duct networks. Fast, professional, with full documentation of findings for your records.
Blocked duct networks cleared properly — not worked around
A blocked duct is a programme problem. It stops cable pulls, delays network build and often means excavating to find an obstruction that could have been avoided if the duct was installed or maintained correctly in the first place.
MTH Contracts provides blockage investigation and clearance teams who deal with the problem properly. We investigate to locate the obstruction, clear it using the appropriate method, and document what was found so the client has a record to inform future maintenance.
Where a blockage requires excavation to repair damaged or crushed duct, we can carry out the reinstatement work as well — meaning you deal with one team rather than multiple contractors for the same issue.

What you can expect from our teams
Practical investigation approach
We investigate properly to identify what the blockage is before trying to clear it. The right approach for the problem saves time and avoids making things worse.
Documented findings
Every clearance job comes with documentation of what was found, where, and how it was dealt with. That record has real value for network maintenance planning.
End-to-end resolution
Where a blockage requires excavation and duct repair, we handle the full sequence ourselves. One team, one invoice, no coordination headaches.
