After initial assessment I was told it was a two man job who duly arrived in a couple of days with a jetting machine to clear the limescale. They worked very hard to jet the blockage one in the bathroom one outside at the manhole with the jetter. When they were satisfied the soilpipe was clear they inserted a camera so we could all see the there was now no obstruction. They were pleasant and informed me what was happening all the time, I would recommend them to others.

Find a local, reliable drainage contractor
If you’re in need of drainage services, such as a soakaway installation or drain unblocking, then you’ve come to the right place. Drainage specialists play a crucial role in ensuring your sewage systems run smoothly, year round.
What a drainage specialist can help you with
Drainage specialists tend to work with broken pipes and other drainage problems like blocked drains.
As well as clogged sinks, toilets and showers, drainage problems can also be caused by trees and tree roots interrupting the sewer line. Cracks in a path near a tree can be a sign that a tree’s roots are causing problems. A drainage specialist can bore the sewer line open, get rid of the roots, treat them so they don’t grow in that spot again, and then replace or reline the pipe.
Drainage specialists also install and empty septic tanks, which collect waste in homes that don’t have pipes that are connected to a public sewer system. You should have your tank emptied roughly once a year, following the rules outlined on the GOV.UK website.
A drainage specialist can help with:
- Installing, unblocking and cleaning drains
- Dealing with sewage problems
- Installing septic tanks or soakaways
- Septic tanks clearance and cleaning
For all your drainage needs, speak to a skilled drain installation and repair specialist in your local area today. They’ll be able to offer the right drainage solutions for your home, regardless of whether you have a blockage or need whole new plumbing.

Factors to consider when choosing a drainage company
It’s really important that you choose a reliable drainage system company to carry out work on your pipes and tanks. Failing to do this can result in unnecessary stress and expensive repairs.
Before you hire, you should do your research to ensure that your drainage specialists:
- Are an experienced company with a strong history of successful projects
- Have all the necessary licenses and insurance needed to protect you and their workers
- Have a good range of positive reviews from previous customers vouching for their reliability
- Are offering the drainage services you need, and are available to carry out the work in the timeframe you need it done by
- Are quoting a price and payment option that you are happy with, having compared the quote with other local drainage companies
A local drainage specialist is more likely to respond quickly, as they’ll be right around the corner and ready to help.

Planning permission for drainage jobs
You don’t usually need to apply for planning permission to carry out drain repairs and minor maintenance drain work, unless you live in a listed building.
You should however make sure you always clarify ownership and responsibility before you carry out changes to drains, sewers and manholes that you share with neighbours.
To check whether your drainage job requires planning permission, contact your local planning authority. You can also visit the Planning Portal website, or read our planning permission guide, for more information.
Questions to ask drainage companies
It’s a good idea to ask your drainage company a few questions before you hire them:
Are you licensed and insured?
Make sure to ask your drainage specialist what insurance they have before you hire them. While it’s not a requirement, it’s a good idea for them to have public liability insurance to cover you and them against any accidental damage done to your home or personal injuries. This will guarantee protection for both parties and ensure your drainage company is legally compliant.
How many years of experience do you have?
Knowing how many years of work experience your drainage company has will allow you to pick a tradesperson who you are confident has sufficient expertise to carry out a high quality job. When you’re finding a drainage expert through Rated People, head over to their profile to check out the pictures on their work gallery and their ratings and reviews.
How long will the job take?
Knowing what your project’s estimated timeline is will help you set realistic expectations about how long your drain work will take to complete.
How much will the job cost?
Asking how much the job will cost will help you budget for your project and will ensure price transparency before you hire. How much you’ll end up spending depends on the scope of your project, and where you live in the UK, so make sure you add plenty of details when you post a job.

Tips for working with drainage companies
- Be crystal clear about what you want and how much you are willing to spend. Clear contact is key to ensuring you and your drainage specialist are on the same page about your project’s scope and budget
- Stay in the loop and ask for updates as the project unfolds. While unlikely, this will allow you to address any issues before they escalate
- Keep a written record about changes to timelines and costs. This will serve as a reference point to ensure work is carried out to a high standard
- If you have any concerns, talk to your drainage specialist straight away. Open discussion is more likely to resolve problems, and will help you keep a positive working relationship with your tradespeople
