While the rest of the country is firing up the BBQ this Bank Holiday, our Drain Services team is staying on call to keep the North West moving.

A huge shout-out to our dedicated crew who ensure our local infrastructure stays clear and functional 24/7. While most are relaxing, these heroes are out there making sure everything flows exactly as it should.

Our specialist drain services include:
- High-pressure water jetting for stubborn blockages.
- Advanced CCTV investigations to pinpoint issues without the need for digging.
- Professional gully and interceptor emptying.

Whether it’s a planned maintenance job or an emergency call-out, our team brings the expertise and the state-of-the-art kit to get it done. You might have seen our vacuum tanker working hard on the Blackpool Promenade, as pictured here.

The recent waste crime arrests in Liverpool highlight a major industry risk: the hidden cost of "cheap" haulage.

When a quote seems too good to be true, it usually is. Your "Duty of Care" means you remain responsible for your waste even after it leaves your site. Choosing the wrong partner puts your reputation and business at direct legal risk.

At Monks Contractors, we prioritise compliance so you can sleep at night:

💧 Fully licensed and regulated waste transport.
💧 Modern, tracked tractor units and high-spec trailers.
💧 Professional drivers who understand the regulations.
💧 Full digital paper trails for every load.

Reliable haulage is an investment, not just an expense. Cutting corners today could cost you your business tomorrow.

We’re highlighting two of our top Terex Ecotec shredders available for hire:

🛠️ TSS 390 (Single Shaft)
Perfect for tricky materials like mattresses or carpets. Its single-shaft design is engineered to reduce material wrapping, keeping your throughput high and downtime low.

🛠️ TDS 820 (Double Shaft)
The ultimate all-rounder for tough applications. Features independent double shafts and excellent contamination protection to handle aggressive waste streams with ease.

Whether you’re a local council or a private waste firm, we have the machinery to match your site requirements. Available for projects across the North West and nationwide.

At Monks, we believe that business success should go hand-in-hand with supporting our local community. Following a recent tender win, we’re proud to announce a £3,000 donation to three fantastic organisations dedicated to environmental action across the North West.

As part of our social value commitment, we’ve donated £1,000 each to:

• Guardians of Nature - South Ribble: Supporting their vital work in green space preservation and community wellbeing.
• Let's Grow Preston: Helping expand urban growing projects and food sustainability education.
• Ribble Rivers Trust: Contributing to essential river restoration and biodiversity efforts across our region.

For us, it’s about more than just haulage and plant hire; it’s about investing in the future of the environment we all share and ensuring the North West remains a great place to live and work.
