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.

What are the different types of drains?
Drains are essential for managing water flow and preventing flooding. Here are the most common types:
- French Drains: These gravel-filled trenches redirect water away from your property, ideal for preventing water pooling in gardens or near foundations.
- ACO Drains: Also known as linear drains, ACO drains are surface water channels often used in driveways or paved areas to prevent water buildup.
- Curtain Drains: Similar to French drains but placed uphill to intercept groundwater before it reaches flat areas or your foundation.
- Channel Drains: These are long, grated drains designed to capture surface water in high-traffic areas such as patios, garages, or driveways.
Each type of drain is tailored to specific needs, so consult a professional to find the right solution for your property.
Cost of drain installation/unblocking/repair
- Drain Unblocking: Clearing a blocked drain typically costs between £75 and £200, depending on the severity and accessibility of the blockage.
- Drain Cleaning: Professional drain cleaning ranges from £100 to £250, ensuring your pipes remain free-flowing and odor-free.
- Drain Installation: Installing specialized drains like ACO or French drains costs between £500 and £2,000, depending on the complexity and materials.
How to keep your drains maintained
Proper maintenance prevents costly repairs and ensures your drains function efficiently:
- Regular Cleaning: Use drain cleaners or natural solutions like baking soda and vinegar to clear minor build-ups. For thorough cleaning, hire a professional.
- Avoid Blockages: Dispose of grease, oil, and food waste responsibly, and use drain covers to prevent debris from entering.
- Inspect and Repair: Check for slow-draining water or foul smells, as these can indicate early signs of blockage or damage. Address issues promptly to avoid escalated problems.
- Seasonal Checks: Ensure outdoor drains are clear of leaves, dirt, and debris, particularly after heavy rain or during autumn.
Other drain FAQs
Can I unblock a drain myself?
Minor blockages can often be cleared using a plunger or drain snake. For persistent or severe blockages, hiring a professional is recommended.
What is a French drain used for?
French drains prevent water pooling by redirecting surface and groundwater away from areas prone to flooding, such as gardens or basements.
How often should drains be cleaned?
Drains should be cleaned professionally every 1-2 years to prevent blockages and maintain optimal performance.

Abdul turned up to give me a quote and just had a really good vibe about him. He was very professional and kept me informed every step of the way. An itemised invoice was provided and updated after any change so I was always aware of my costs. The team he had working on my job were professional, punctual and very polite. The work performed was excellent, I am extremely pleased with the final product and would definitely use them again and I recommend them wholeheartedly (which I have already).

Local carpenter and general builder, competitive prices, all 5 star reviews and references.
Dan visited and gave me a quote for the job. He then turned up with Tom to help on the day and have to say they did a very tidy job of strimming the grass, raking it up and clearing. Chopped up a dead tree which had fallen onto the land into logs and stacked tidy. They did what I asked them to do and were polite and informative in letting me know when they could next be here. Decent guys!
