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.

Blocked toilet - he agreed to come in the earlier part of the morning, then it kept slipping back - until it was the next day. No confidence that he'd turn up then. Only one toilet so it was urgent so I found someone else. May be a good plumber, no idea, but postponing an urgent job after agreeing to do it means I won't offer work again.

AVOID AT ALL COST and it is the right company. Don’t pay him or his partner Nick Moules any money. Nick will probably visit your home within a couple of hours of posting the job (making you feel confident that your job will be finished as quickly as you need it to be) send you links to the materials to be purchased, ask for deposit and then stop all forms of communication. They will quote +/- £20 to the other tradesmen. Should be banned on this site.

REPAIRS Our experience means that we can repair damaged, broken, and defective pipes. COMMON CAUSES We understand what typically causes a drain defect. We can easily identify the common causes and offer advice and recommendations. CCTV SURVEYS WP Drains’ drain CCTV surveys are a very sensible way to get a deep and detailed look into your drain and sewers. This makes sense both whether there is an existing problem or equally so, if you are looking to avoid a problem or suspect there may be an issue. Our CCTV service is fast, efficient & you will get a detailed look at the things you can’t see or know with your naked eye. Often, the situation underground deteriorates quickly with a “build-up” inside the drain. This can cause expensive problems to occur later on. We use specialist industry camera systems that are remotely controlled. These carry out our detailed CCTV Drains survey and they deliver a clear picture of what is happening inside the drains, where damage cannot be detected by the naked eye. Our experts will assess the structural integrity of your drains or sewers thereafter. This way, we can minimise the damage to your property and your environment, in general. We provide a report back to you with a clear explanation of what the various issues are so that you can make an informed decision and have the all-important peace of mind. RAT BLOCKERS We offer 4’inch , 6’inch , 12’inch rat blocking systems made of stainless steel to stop the rodents entering your household or place of business .

Whether it’s a minor repair or a major project, we’re here to help. We look forward to hearing from you soon!
First class service. From first contact via Rated People, to a call giving me details and then a msg confirming prices and details. The guy who came (Craig, I think) was brilliant sorted out the problem quickly and cleaned up afterwards. A first class company.
