Signs You Need Our Drainage Unblocking Services

A complete blockage is obvious, but often your drains will give you warning signs first. If you notice any of the following, it’s time to call in the professionals before the problem gets worse:

  • Slow Draining Water: Sinks, showers, or baths are taking longer than usual to empty.
  • Gurgling Sounds: Strange noises coming from your plugholes or pipes.
  • Foul Odours: Unpleasant smells rising from drains are a classic sign of trapped, decaying waste.
  • Rising Toilet Water: Water level in the toilet bowl rises unusually high when you flush.

Ignoring these signs can lead to wastewater backups and internal flooding. Our emergency drain unblocking team is ready to help 24/7.

Our Advanced Drain Unblocking Methods

DIY chemical solutions can damage your pipes. We use powerful, professional-grade equipment to provide a lasting fix without risking your plumbing.

High-Pressure Water Jetting (HPWJ)
For most blockages, drain jetting is the most effective solution. Our engineers use specialist van-mounted jetters to fire precisely controlled jets of water into the pipe.

This process doesn’t just clear the immediate obstruction; it scours the entire pipe wall, removing grease, sludge, and scale to prevent future issues.

Electro-Mechanical Cleaning (EMC)
For certain types of blockages or more delicate pipework, we use advanced electro-mechanical cleaning tools.

A flexible cable with a specialised cutting head is fed into the pipe, spinning at high speed to grind away hard obstructions like scale, solidified waste, or even tree roots.

Frequently Asked Questions About Drain Unblocking

What does your drain unblocking service cost?

We offer competitive fixed-price rates for most standard drain unblocking jobs. The price depends on the complexity, but we will always provide a full quote for you to approve before any work begins.

How quickly can you get to my property in London?

As a 24/7 emergency service with engineers located across the region, we aim to be with you within just a few hours of your call.

Are “flushable” wet wipes really safe to flush?

No. Most wipes do not break down in the sewer system and are one of the single biggest causes of domestic blockages. We advise bagging and binning them.

Yes, we stand by the quality of our work. Our goal is to provide a lasting fix, and we ensure you are completely satisfied with the result.
