Drain Unblocking
Blocked drain, sink, toilet or gully? We clear it fast with jetting and rodding. Then we check on camera that it is genuinely fixed.
What is a drain unblocking?
Drain unblocking clears a blocked drain, sink, toilet or gully using high-pressure water jetting and mechanical rodding, then confirms the run is clear with a camera. It removes the blockage fast and flags anything that is causing it to return.
A blocked drain is disruptive and, left too long, can cause flooding and damage. Because of that, we clear blockages quickly using high-pressure water jetting and mechanical rodding, then confirm with a camera that the run is clear.
If we spot an underlying cause — roots, a collapse or scale — we will tell you. That way, a one-off clear does not turn into a recurring expense.
When you need a drain unblocking
- Water backing up in a sink, bath, toilet or gully
- Slow drainage or gurgling from plugholes
- Foul smells from drains or an overflowing manhole
- A toilet that fills but will not flush away
- Wet ground or pooling around a drain cover
Why it matters
Quick clearance
Jetting and rodding clear most blockages fast, often in a single visit. As a result, your drains are working again the same day.
Verified clear
A camera check confirms the blockage is gone and the pipe is sound. Because we look afterwards, you know the job is genuinely done.
Cause flagged
If something is driving repeat blockages, we spot it on camera. Consequently, you can fix the cause instead of paying to clear it again.
What's included
- Locating the blockage and choosing the right clearance method
- High-pressure jetting or mechanical rodding to clear it
- A camera check to confirm the run is clear
- Any underlying cause flagged, with advice on preventing repeats
How it works
- 01
Assess
First, we locate the blockage and choose the right clearance method. Because the cause varies, we match the method to the problem.
- 02
Clear
Next, high-pressure jetting or rodding removes the obstruction. Meanwhile, we watch how the drain responds to check it runs freely.
- 03
Verify
Finally, a camera confirms the run is clear and flags any underlying issue. You then know whether a one-off clear is enough.

Drain Unblocking — your questions answered
How much does it cost to unblock a drain?
It depends on the severity of the blockage, whether rodding or jetting is needed, and the time of day. We always confirm a fixed price before any work begins — send us the details for a quote.
How quickly can you clear a blocked drain?
We clear most blockages in a single visit. Send us your postcode, and we will advise on the earliest availability.
What can I do before you arrive?
Stop running water into the affected drain, avoid chemical drain cleaners because they can make jetting hazardous, and keep the area clear. If a manhole is overflowing, keep people and pets well away.
Will you check why it blocked?
Yes. After clearing, we can run a camera to confirm the cause, especially if the drain keeps blocking. As a result, you avoid paying repeatedly for the same problem.
