We can clear any type of blocked drain, with minimal disruption to you, all our technicians come fully equipped with everything they need to sort your drainage problem such as high-pressure water jetting equipment and our electro-mechanical coring machines.
These are the two main ways we can clear drain blockages, drain jetting works by using a high pressure hose to shoot water from the attached tank at a powerful enough pressure to break down congestion and break down obstructions to make them smaller and push them through the drain and sewer.
Alternatively, we can use our electro-mechanical coring machine, which is ideal for internal pipes and is recommended for the removal of hard substances such as uric sale, limescale, concrete residue and grease as well as tree roots.
CCTV Surveys To Investigate Blockages
As well as helping to unblock drains, we can also provide CCTV surveys to investigate the cause of a blockage and provide a full video report via an instant viewing link from Dropox, as well as a comprehensive written document and site plan – this is ideal to investigate the level of scale and silt deposits as well as exploring and identifying a collapsed drain that needs repairing.

How do I unblock my drain?
In the first instance, many people will attempt to unblock their drain with bleach, drain unblocker or a mix of sodium bicarbonate and vinegar.

What causes drain blockages?
Any number of things can cause drain blockage issues but one of the most common culprits is fat and grease, this sticky substance attaches itself to pipes rather than draining down, which builds up in time and causes blockages – while it can seem the most convenient solution try not to drain fat down the sink and instead dispose of in your food waste (once cool) or collect in a sealed container than you can put into your general waste.
The other most common culprit for blocked drains is hair, which can collect in plugs and drains – especially in your shower or bath. Obviously, this can’t be helped, but you can get plug attachments which catch the hair and allow you to remove it easily while still allowing water to drain.
What are the signs of a blocked drain?
The most obvious sign of a blocked drain, or drainage issues is if the water takes a long time to drain from your bath, shower or sink. If this is affecting the toilet, you may notice that water rises to the top of the bowl when flushed and takes time to fall back to the normal level. As well as this, it is likely you will hear gurgling noises coming from your plughole and may even notice bad smells – this shows that water is struggling to drain as it should and there is an obstruction – this could be fat, grease, hair, food, foreign objects or issues further down the line such as tree roots, leaves or a collapsed drain.
