Blocked Drains in Thornbury — Local Engineers, No Call-Out Fee
Thornbury sits at the edge of our patch but firmly inside it — we’re in BS35 most weeks and can usually offer a same-day slot. No call-out fee applies here exactly as it does in the city: you pay for work done, not for the drive.
Drain problems we see most in Thornbury
Thornbury is really two towns drainage-wise. The older streets around the High Street and Castle Street sit on clay pipework that’s given a century or more of service, with the joint movement and root ingress that come with that. The newer estates from the town’s recent growth run on plastic, where the usual suspects are wipes, fat and the odd construction leftover.
On the rural fringe, things change again: longer private runs, older inspection chambers, and properties on septic tanks or treatment plants rather than mains drainage. Surface-water gullies out here also take a hammering in heavy rain, and a silted gully looks a lot like a blocked drain until someone checks.
What we do in Thornbury
Blocked drain clearance
CCTV drain surveys
High-pressure jetting
Clears long rural runs and silted surface-water lines that rodding can’t touch, and strips set grease from town-centre commercial drains.

Relining and patch repairs for aged clay in the old town; straightforward excavated repairs where a rural run has failed outright.
How a Call-Out Works
Ring 0117 427 4565 and tell us what you’re seeing. We give you an honest arrival window with text updates, agree a fixed price once we’ve assessed the job, and only start when you’ve approved it. Work is flow-tested before we leave, and the same fault within 12 months brings us back free (fair use applies).
Recent jobs in Thornbury
Cottage near the High Street — recurring blockage every few months. Camera showed roots at three joints in the front run; cleared, then lined in one visit so the cycle stops.
Rural property outside town — foul smell and slow drains. Long private run to the tank jetted clear of years of silt; advised on a simple maintenance interval to keep it that way.
Areas we cover around Thornbury
Thornbury drain questions
We’re on a septic tank — do you still cover us?
Yes for the drainage runs to and from it — blockages, surveys, repairs. We’ll tell you plainly if what you actually need is a tank empty, which is a different trade, rather than charging you to find that out.
Is there really no charge for coming out to BS35?
Really. The fixed price we agree on arrival is the whole cost, Thornbury or Totterdown alike. If you decide not to go ahead once you’ve seen the quote, you owe nothing.
Our older house in the town centre has drains we’ve never had checked — worth a survey?
If the house predates the war and nobody’s looked in living memory, yes. It’s a fixed-price job that either buys peace of mind or catches a fault while it’s still a small one.
