Flow Sure Drains – Frequently Asked Questions

Below are clear, honest answers to the most common questions Bristol homeowners and businesses ask about drain unblocking, repairs, CCTV surveys, and emergency callouts. Our same-day engineers operate with fixed pricing, zero call-out fees, and 5-star ratings on Google and Checkatrade.

Pricing and Fees

No. There is no call-out charge. We agree a fixed price after inspecting the job and before any work starts. You know the cost before we touch anything.

We scope the job on arrival — checking access, locating the blockage, and assessing what method we’ll need. From that we give you a fixed price. If the work turns out to be more involved than expected, we’ll discuss it with you before proceeding, not after.

Card, bank transfer and cash. We send digital invoices for landlords, letting agents and commercial clients.

Booking and Response Times

For emergencies, we aim to be with you the same day in most of the Bristol area. For planned work, we’ll agree a convenient window. We send live ETA updates so you’re not waiting around.
Yes. We operate 24/7 for emergencies. Evening and weekend callouts for non-emergencies are available too — just mention it when you call and we’ll confirm.

Our Equipment and Methods

Yes, and it’s our preferred method for most drain blockages. It’s the only way to properly clear a drain of grease, fat, scale and silt rather than just temporarily opening it. We carry jetting equipment on every van.
Yes. We use waterproof push-rod cameras for domestic drains and can carry out full coded surveys for homebuyers, landlords and insurers. Our reports follow WRc/MSCC standards.

Guarantees and Follow-Up

Where the fault allows, we offer a 12-month free callback on the same issue (fair use applies). If the blockage was caused by something that came back — like a grease build-up in a commercial kitchen — the guarantee applies to the same fault, not to entirely new debris. We’ll be clear about this when we finish the job.
Call us. We’d rather sort it out directly than have an unhappy customer. Our Checkatrade profile shows how we’ve handled issues in the past.

CCTV Surveys

Yes — and we work quickly because we understand conveyancing timescales. Our homebuyer report includes a risk rating, pipe material and life-expectancy notes, and costed repair options if we find anything.
