Our professional equipment clears over 95% of blockages on the first visit. If we encounter a more serious issue – such as a collapsed pipe – we’ll explain the problem, often using CCTV footage, and provide a clear quote for repairs before proceeding. You’ll never pay for work you haven’t approved.

Not always. Most blockages can be cleared without a survey.

However, we recommend a CCTV survey if you’re buying/selling a property, have recurring drain problems, are planning building work, or need documentation for insurance.

The most common drainage problems are blocked drains and toilets, slow-draining sinks and showers, foul smells from waste pipes, gurgling noises after flushing, water pooling around external gullies, sewage backup, and flooded basements after heavy rain. Early intervention almost always avoids costly repair work.

Call a professional when blockages keep returning, when a full toilet or kitchen line is blocked, when sewage is backing up, when there are damp patches, foul smells or sinkholes near drainage, or when a CCTV survey is required for a property sale or insurance claim. The earlier you call, the cheaper the fix.

Early warning signs include slow-draining sinks, gurgling noises from toilets or basins, occasional foul smells, water pooling around external gullies after rain, damp patches on internal walls, and lush green stripes appearing on the lawn above pipework. Acting on these early avoids emergencies later.

Recurring blockages almost always point to a deeper underlying cause – tree-root ingress, a collapsed pipe section, a misaligned joint, a hidden build-up of fat further down the run, or pitch-fibre pipe deformation. Until that root cause is fixed, clearing the symptom only buys a few weeks before the next blockage.

Yes. Blocked drains and sewage backup expose occupants to harmful bacteria including E. coli and salmonella, increase the risk of damp and mould inside the property, and create breeding conditions for flies and vermin. Anyone with respiratory conditions, very young children or vulnerable adults at home should treat sewage backup as urgent.
