Common problems we fix
Common jobs we handle most often. Tap a problem for the useful detail.
Blocked drains
- Typical cause
- Fat, wipes, scale and debris catching in traps and runs.
- What we do on arrival
- Locate the blockage, clear it with the right method, and check flow is restored.
- Time to fix
- Many domestic blockages clear same visit.
High-pressure jetting
- Typical cause
- Stubborn grease or silt that plungers and basic rods won’t shift.
- What we do on arrival
- Jet the line clean and advise if roots or collapsed pipework need further work.
- Time to fix
- Depends on run length and access.
CCTV drain surveys
- Typical cause
- Unknown faults, purchase surveys, or repeats after clearing.
- What we do on arrival
- Camera the line, record findings, and explain repair options in plain English.
- Time to fix
- Survey length depends on the network you’re inspecting.
Toilet & soil stack blockages
- Typical cause
- Wrong items flushed or a restriction in the soil pipe.
- What we do on arrival
- Clear safely without damaging china, then test connected bathrooms.
- Time to fix
- Often same visit unless the main is involved.
Kitchen & waste pipe blockages
- Typical cause
- Grease and food solids coating the waste.
- What we do on arrival
- Clear traps and runs; advise on prevention so it doesn’t return next week.
- Time to fix
- Usually a short attendance for accessible wastes.
External & gully blockages
- Typical cause
- Leaves, silt and fat in gullies and inspection chambers.

Grease traps

Good to know
Common questions
Should I keep pouring chemicals down the drain?+
No. Chemical unblockers can damage pipes and are hazardous for engineers. Stop using them and call us.
When do I need a CCTV survey?+
If blockages keep returning, you’re buying a property, or we suspect collapse, roots or wrong falls.
Do you clear commercial drains?+
Yes — including grease-related issues. Commercial sites may need jetting or tanker support.
Will you dig up the garden?+
Only if the survey shows a repair that needs excavation. We explain options — including no-dig where suitable — before that step.
How is drainage priced?+
Published hourly bands by drain type, plus specialist equipment where needed. We’ll confirm before major works.
