Blocked Drain Unblocking
A blocked drain doesn't wait until Monday morning — and neither do we.
DrainFixer clears every kind of blocked drain — kitchen waste pipes, bathroom stacks, external gullies, manholes, sewer laterals and shared drains. Our engineers arrive in a fully-kitted van with rods, mini-jetters, industrial jetters and CCTV cameras, so 9 out of 10 blockages are cleared on the first visit without follow-up appointments or return charges.
Warning signs
- Water rising in sinks, baths or showers when other outlets are used
- Gurgling sounds from waste pipes or toilets
- Bad smells coming from plugholes, gullies or manholes
- Slow-draining basins even after clearing the trap
- Wet patches or pooling water near an external drain cover
Common causes
- Fat, oil and grease build-up in kitchen waste runs
- Wet wipes, sanitary products and other non-flushable items
- Tree roots entering pipe joints from surrounding gardens
- Broken, cracked or collapsed sections of underground pipe
- Scale, silt and debris accumulating over months or years
How we handle blocked drain unblocking
Kit we bring

While you wait — do

- ✓ Move valuables and rugs away from the blockage
- ✓ Keep children and pets out of the room
- ✓ Note when the problem started and any recent changes
Please don't
- ✕ Don't pour caustic drain unblocker if you have any pipework corrosion — it can accelerate leaks
- ✕ Don't keep flushing or running water hoping it clears — you may cause an overflow
- ✕ Don't attempt to lift heavy manhole covers without proper lifting keys
