This is a crisis page, not just a service page

Vulnerable people need working drainage and clean spaces. We treat these calls as high priority. We help care homes, supported living sites and healthcare premises that cannot wait for normal hours by turning the emergency into a clear plan: what to stop using, what we need to access, how we will clear it, and when a camera survey or repair is genuinely needed.

Why Slough drainage emergencies happen

Around Slough, the drainage faults we see most include deformed pitch fibre pipes in 1950s–70s housing, wet wipes and sanitary items blocking the main lateral, displaced joints and misalignment caused by ground movement. When the symptom is blocked accessible toilets, sluice-room drainage, smells or wastewater in sensitive areas, the safest move is to stop using water and get the run checked fast.

What happens when you call

  1. 1

    Phone triage

    We ask what is overflowing, where the lowest affected point is, and whether sewage or flooding is already inside the Slough property.

  2. 2

    Make it safe

    We tell you what not to use while you wait — usually toilets, sinks, appliances and any drain connected to the affected run.

  3. 3

    Clear the blockage

    On site we clear the urgent blockage with minimal disruption, keep staff informed and prioritise hygiene-sensitive spaces, using the safest method for the pipework rather than forcing the same tool into every job.

  4. 4

    Explain the cause

    Before we leave, we tell you whether it was misuse, fat, silt, roots, a shared drain issue or a structural defect that needs follow-up.
