A blocked drain never picks a good time. Our local team clears blocked drains, toilets, sinks, baths and outside gullies quickly using high-pressure jetting and specialist clearing equipment — most jobs sorted in a single visit.
A blocked drain is one of the most common — and most disruptive — problems a property can face. Left alone, a blockage rarely clears itself; instead it builds, backing up waste water, causing bad smells and eventually risking flooding inside or outside your property. Our drain unblocking service tackles the problem at the source, clearing the blockage quickly and checking the line so it stays clear.
We unblock every kind of drain — kitchen and bathroom sinks, toilets, baths and showers, outside gullies, soil stacks and underground drainage runs. Using high-pressure water jetting and specialist clearing equipment matched to the blockage, our local team clears most blockages in a single visit, then leaves everything clean and tidy.
We assess the blockage and, where needed, run a camera to find the exact cause and location.
We clear it with the right method — high-pressure jetting for tough build-up, matched to the cause of the blockage.
We check the drain runs freely and, if useful, show you the line on camera.
We give you honest advice on preventing it happening again — at a fixed price agreed before we start.
For anything more than a surface blockage, high-pressure water jetting is the fastest, most thorough way to clear a drain. A specialist hose delivers a controlled jet of water at up to 4,000 PSI that scours the full bore of the pipe — blasting away the fat, grease, silt, scale and root growth that ordinary methods leave behind, and restoring the pipe close to its original flow.
It's pipe-safe when carried out correctly — we match the pressure and nozzle to the pipe and the job — and it's the go-to method for stubborn blockages, drain odours, fine root ingress and planned maintenance for busy commercial kitchens and sites. No harsh chemicals, just clean, fast-flowing drains.

Most blocked drains come down to a handful of culprits. In kitchens, cooking fat, oil and grease are the biggest offenders — they pour away as a liquid but cool and harden inside the pipe, gradually narrowing it until it blocks completely. In bathrooms, hair, soap scum, wet wipes and sanitary products are the usual cause; 'flushable' wipes in particular do not break down and are a leading cause of blockages and sewer fatbergs. Outside, fallen leaves, silt, garden debris and tree-root ingress slowly choke gullies and underground runs.
Older properties bring their own issues: clay and pitch-fibre pipes crack and collapse with age and ground movement, creating snag points where waste collects. The good news is that almost every blockage is preventable with simple habits — scraping plates before washing up, never pouring fat down the sink, fitting drain guards to catch hair and food, and having drains jetted periodically if you run a busy kitchen. When a blockage does happen, clearing it quickly stops it turning into flooding or pipe damage.
