Everything we do, with what it costs, so you can work out what you need before you ring anyone. If you’re not sure which of these applies to you, start with the symptoms below — that’s usually quicker.
Start here
Most people know the symptom rather than the service. Pick the closest and we’ll take you to the right page.
Water standing in a gully or chamber, or coming up in the garden.
Water rising in the bowl, or draining very slowly.
Standing water indoors, or draining far slower than it used to.
Same drain, same place, more than twice. Clearing it again won't fix it.
A standard homebuyer survey doesn't inspect the drains.
Scratching under floors, or they keep returning after treatment.
Air being pulled past a partial blockage, or a dry trap.
Kitchens, HMOs, offices and managed blocks.
Then it's probably not your drain — or your bill.
Everything we do
Starting prices for straightforward jobs at domestic properties. Every price is fixed on site before any work begins, and there’s no call-out fee.
We locate the blockage, clear it properly, then flow test to confirm it's gone rather than moved along the pipe. Blocked manholes and gullies included.
For homebuyers, landlords, insurers and drains that keep blocking. You keep the footage and a report written in plain English.
Cracked, displaced or root-damaged pipes repaired from the inside wherever possible, so your garden or driveway stays as it is.
High-pressure water cuts through fat, silt and scale to restore the full bore of the pipe, not just a channel through the middle of the blockage.
Cleared without dismantling the bathroom, and without leaving the mess behind. The pan only comes off as a genuine last resort.
Traps and waste pipes cleared without taking units or tiling apart. Usually the quickest and cheapest job we do.
The route in is almost always a drainage defect. We find it with a camera and seal it — pest control alone never stops them returning.
Scheduled jetting and emergency cover for pubs, restaurants, HMOs, offices and managing agents. Invoice or purchase order.
Every job we do, with a starting figure, what moves the price, and the charges worth questioning when you compare quotes.
However you found us
Whichever service you need, the sequence is the same. If we can’t complete stage four, the job isn’t finished.
1
Tell us your postcode and what’s happening. We’ll say honestly whether it sounds like today or later in the week.
2
On site we work out where the fault actually is, before anything gets pushed further down the pipe.
3
One fixed figure, told to you before we start. If you’d rather not go ahead, there’s nothing to pay.
4
Flow tested or re-surveyed while we’re still there, then we explain what caused it and how to avoid it happening again.

Before you book anything
Two guides that between them answer most of what people ring us to ask — including, quite often, whether they need us at all.
Yours, Wessex Water's or the council's — and why, if your neighbours have the same problem, it's very likely not your bill at all.
Our full price list, what moves a price, the charges worth questioning, and seven questions that make two quotes comparable.
Coverage
Across Bristol, Bath and the surrounding towns. Each area page covers what we actually find in that part of the city — the property stock, the pipework and the problems that come with them.
Drains don’t follow postcode boundaries and neither do we. If you’re just outside this list, call anyway — see all areas we cover.
That’s genuinely fine — working it out is our job, not yours. Describe what’s happening and we’ll tell you what it sounds like, what it’s likely to cost, and when we can be there.
