Signs You Have a Blocked Drain
Catching a blockage early avoids costly damage. If you notice any of these warning signs, call us before the problem gets worse.
Slow-Draining Water
Sinks, baths or showers taking longer than usual to empty is often the first sign of a partial blockage building up.
Unpleasant Odours
Foul smells from plugs or drains indicate trapped waste or stagnant water sitting in a blocked section of pipe.
Gurgling Sounds
Bubbling or gurgling noises after flushing or draining water suggest air trapped by a partial obstruction nearby.
Water Backing Up
Water rising in a toilet, sink or shower tray when you use another fixture is a clear sign of a blockage downstream.
Overflowing Gullies
External gullies or yard drains that overflow during rainfall or normal use often have debris or root blockages.
Raised Manhole Levels
If your inspection chamber is full or overflowing it usually means a blockage in the main drainage run below.
Common Causes of Blocked Drains
Understanding what causes blockages helps prevent them. Our engineers deal with all of these every day.
Grease & Fat Build-Up
Cooking fats poured down kitchen sinks solidify inside pipes over time, narrowing the bore and eventually causing a full blockage.
Wet Wipes & Sanitary Items
Even products labelled "flushable" do not break down like toilet paper and are a leading cause of toilet and sewer blockages.
Tree Root Ingress
Roots from nearby trees and shrubs seek out moisture in drain joints, cracking pipes and growing inward until flow is restricted.
Hair & Soap Scum
Hair combined with soap residue binds together inside bathroom waste pipes and shower traps, building up into dense clogs.
Collapsed or Broken Pipes
Old or damaged pipework can crack, collapse or become misaligned underground, causing debris to accumulate at the break point.
Leaves & Outdoor Debris
Fallen leaves, silt and garden debris wash into external gullies and surface water drains, packing down and preventing drainage.

Our Drain Clearance Process
A simple, consistent approach that gets the job done properly every time.
Initial Assessment
Our engineer arrives and assesses the reported issue — checking all affected fixtures, testing flow rates and identifying which drain run is blocked.
Locate the Blockage
We trace the exact location of the blockage using drainage rods, electro-mechanical equipment or CCTV where necessary, so we know exactly what we're dealing with.
Clear Using the Right Method
Depending on the blockage type we use high-pressure water jetting, electro-mechanical rodding or specialist nozzles to fully remove the obstruction — not just push it further down.
Test & Confirm Flow
We run water through all connected fixtures to confirm drainage has been fully restored and there are no secondary blockages downstream.
Report & Preventative Advice
We explain what caused the blockage, show you any findings, and advise whether any follow-up work such as a CCTV survey or repair is recommended to prevent recurrence.
