Yes, for a simple, straightforward blockage that can be cleared with rods, the service is generally faster and therefore more affordable than high-pressure water jetting.
If used incorrectly, DIY rods can scrape, crack, or become disconnected and stuck inside pipes, especially older clay or pitch fibre systems. Our trained engineers use the correct technique to avoid any damage.
For a simple blockage, the entire process from arrival to completion can often be done in under an hour.
This usually means the blockage is made of hardened grease or scale that rods can't remove, or the problem is further down the pipe. This is when you need our professional jetting or CCTV services to find and fix the root cause.
Our engineer will immediately inform you and explain why. They will then provide you with a fixed-price quote to use the more powerful high-pressure water jetter they have on their van to fully clear and clean the pipe.
When the blockage is close to a manhole, rodding is a very efficient clearing method.
Effectively removing blockages caused by leaves, silt, wet wipes, and other flushed objects.
Using rods to determine the nature and location of a blockage before deciding if more powerful equipment is needed.
We use high-quality, flexible rods that can navigate bends without breaking, equipped with a range of tool heads (plungers, corkscrews, cutters) to tackle different types of blockage.
Our engineers are trained to interpret the feedback from the rods, allowing them to understand the nature of the blockage and apply the right amount of pressure to clear it without damaging the pipework.
We ensure the blockage is cleared safely, without causing wastewater to back up into your property. Our commitment to safety goes beyond just solving the immediate problem; it's about protecting your home.
You do not need to diagnose it perfectly. Describe the symptom and we will tell you the likely cause and what it will cost to put right.
Turned up when they said they would, told me the price up front, and cleared a blockage two other firms had failed on.
Brilliant service, they helped unblock my drain really quickly. Would definitely recommend!
An absolute pleasure to deal with. George arrived at my house quickly to take care of a blockage in my drain. He cleared it in less than an hour and was very knowledgeable.
