Drain Unblocking & Cleaning
Most blockages cleared on the first visit. Same-day attendance, 24/7.
Fast, no-dig jetting to clear blockages. 24/7 and no call-out charge.
When to choose this service
Choose drain unblocking and cleaning if water is draining slowly or standing in sinks, baths or showers; you can hear gurgling from pipework; or there’s a persistent odour from wastes, traps or floor gullies. It’s also the right fix when toilets back up or won’t flush properly, or when surface water spills from manholes or driveway gullies after rain.
Recurring issues — especially in kitchens and bathrooms — usually point to fat/grease build-up, scale, silt, tree roots or foreign objects. Early intervention prevents overflows, hygiene risks and damage to finishes. If we suspect an underlying defect, we can follow the clean with a CCTV inspection to pinpoint the cause and keep it from returning.
Why Drain Alert
We combine high-pressure jetting with mechanical cutting to remove fat, scale, silt and roots quickly and with minimal disruption. Where helpful, we provide CCTV verification on request so you have clear evidence that the line is free-flowing.
All work is carried out by accredited engineers using a fully equipped fleet — jetting units, jet-vac tankers and electro-mechanical machines — so we’re prepared for domestic, commercial and industrial sites. We operate 24/7 with no call-out charge, keep work areas tidy and safe, and if a defect is found we’ll explain the options and give a free, fixed quote for any remedial work. Our work is guaranteed and completed in line with industry best practice.
