Blocked Drain Clearance in Leicester

Fast response, usually within 2 hours.

Blocked Drain Clearance

A blocked drain is not something you can wait around for. Water backing up into your kitchen sink, a toilet that will not flush, or a damaged exterior drain all need sorting quickly. We aim to reach most of Leicester and Leicestershire within two hours of your call.

We use a combination of methods depending on the blockage. Manual rodding works for many blockages. High-pressure drain jetting clears stubborn build-ups like grease, scale, and tree roots. For more complex issues, we can use a CCTV drain camera to diagnose exactly what is happening.

Many blocked drains are caused by accumulation over time: hair, soap, fat, or scale. Once cleared, we can advise on how to prevent the same issue happening again. If the blockage is caused by something more serious like a cracked pipe or root intrusion, we can diagnose that and discuss the options.

Drain clearance typically costs between £150 and £250 depending on the severity and location of the blockage. We will give you a clear price before we start and explain what we have found when the job is done.

Yes. We clear both internal drains (sinks, baths, toilets) and external drains (manholes, inspection chambers, rainwater drains). Whatever is blocked, we can sort it.

What if the blockage keeps coming back?

If a blockage keeps returning, there is usually an underlying issue such as a cracked pipe, tree root intrusion, or a build-up of scale. We can investigate further, diagnose the root cause, and recommend the right fix.
