- Verified local engineers

Blocked drains are the single most common drainage emergency we attend. Our engineers arrive with high-pressure jetting units, rods and inspection cameras to diagnose and clear the blockage on the first visit wherever possible. We work on foul and surface-water drains, internal gullies, outside channels and shared sewer connections. Every clearance is backed by a no-fix-no-fee guarantee and a written report so you know exactly what caused the issue.
Our approach
Unlike generic plumbers, Drains Cleared specialises exclusively in blocked-drain recovery — our vans carry 4000psi jetters and CCTV as standard, not as an upsell.
What to expect
- 1 Call or submit a quote request. We take your postcode, describe the problem and book the nearest available engineer — usually within the hour for emergencies.
- 2 On-site diagnosis. The engineer inspects and diagnoses — using CCTV where needed — before quoting. No work starts until you approve a fixed price.
- 3 Repair or clearance. Work is carried out using professional-grade equipment. You receive a written report on completion.
- 4 Guarantee. All work is covered by our workmanship guarantee. If the same issue returns within the guarantee period, we return free of charge.
Blocked Drain Clearance — frequently asked questions
How quickly can you clear my blocked drain?
Most urban jobs are attended within 60 minutes, and the majority of blockages are cleared within the first hour on site.
What does it cost to unblock a drain?
Our standard blocked-drain callout starts at a fixed fee with no hidden extras. We quote before we start and only charge for the work we actually do.
Do you guarantee the work?
Yes. Every clearance comes with a written guarantee. If the same blockage returns within the guarantee period we return free of charge.
What causes most blocked drains?
The three biggest culprits are fats, oils and grease from kitchens; wet-wipes and sanitary items flushed down toilets; and root ingress from nearby trees into older clay pipework.
Will you need to dig up my garden?
Almost never. We clear 95%+ of blockages using high-pressure water jetting and mechanical rodding via existing access points, with no excavation required.
