Blocked Drains

Signs of a blocked drain

• Water draining slowly from sinks, showers, or outdoor gullies
• Gurgling sounds from pipework
• Bad smells around manholes or drain covers
• Water pooling in the garden or around a manhole cover

If you're seeing any of these, it's worth getting it looked at before it turns into a bigger job — a slow drain rarely fixes itself, and standing water around drains can affect the surrounding ground over time.

How we approach it

We start with a CCTV survey to see exactly what's blocking the line and where, rather than guessing. In most cases the blockage can be cleared the same visit — the £150 covers the survey, a written report, and the unblock itself.

If the survey shows the blockage is caused by root ingress or a collapsed section, forcing a clear isn't a real fix — we'll explain what's actually going on and give you a separate quote for the repair.

Please note

We handle outdoor drainage systems specifically — external pipes, main drains, manholes and soakaways. We don't service internal blockages such as sinks, showers, or toilets.
