Unblock Drains Near Me
When a drain blocks, you don’t want waffle — you want it cleared now. If you’re searching for “unblock drains near me” in Bristol and nearby, Flow Sure Drains gets you moving again fast with Fixed price, No call-out fee, and Same-day service. Call us, we’ll give you a simple plan and a confirmed arrival window — then we’ll turn up and clear it.
What “near me” actually means (and why speed matters)
Blocked drains rarely wait for a quiet moment. You’ll notice one or more of these: the kitchen sink won’t empty, the loo gurgles, outside gullies overflow when it rains, there’s a sulphur smell by the back door, or the upstairs bath drains sluggishly and talks back with bubbles. Leave it, and you risk overflows, damage to flooring or plaster, and a hygiene problem no one wants. The fix is straightforward when you get a local crew there quickly — which is exactly why we cover Bristol and the surrounding towns same day.
We’re your independent local drainage specialists serving Bristol, Chepstow, Thornbury, Yate, Bradley Stoke, Portishead, Clevedon, Nailsea, and Keynsham. If you’re in or around those areas, we’ll quote a Fixed price on the job and head straight over — No call-out fee, no surprises.
What we actually do (plain English, fast results)
We keep the process simple and focused on outcomes:
-
Quick diagnostics
On arrival we confirm the symptoms, isolate the likely blockage point (internal stack vs. external run), and check access points. We explain the plan before we touch anything. -
Mechanical clearance
Most household blockages clear with professional rods or mechanical cutters. We start here to get flow back fast and keep disruption down. -
High-Pressure Water Jetting (HPWJ)
If your line needs a deeper clean — grease, wipes, silt, roots, or scale — we jet it. HPWJ restores the bore of the pipe so it drains as designed, not just “good for now”. -
CCTV confirm
We can camera the line to confirm the blockage is fully cleared and flag any defects (cracks, displaced joints, root ingress). You see what we see — helpful if you’re a landlord, dealing with a letting agent, or need the video for peace of mind. -
Prevention tips
Before we leave, we’ll give practical prevention pointers tailored to your property — the small changes that stop you ringing us again in a month.
Outcome: water away, smells gone, toilet behaving, and you know exactly what’s been done. That’s what you pay for — not hours on a clock.
Why “Fixed price” and “No call-out fee” matter
When your drain is blocked, the last thing you need is a mystery bill. Our Fixed price means the job we come to do — unblocking your drain — is a single, clear price agreed before we start. We don’t charge to knock on your door (No call-out fee), and we don’t play games with time. On arrival we scope the job, explain how we’ll clear it, confirm the price, and crack on. If there’s a rare complication (collapsed pipe, severe root mass, inaccessible sections), we’ll show you on camera and explain your options — no pressure, no upsell.
Speed & coverage — how we reach you same day
Think of our coverage like a ring around Bristol. We schedule arrival windows across the day and route engineers to minimise travel time and maximise time-on-tools:
-
Central Bristol to BS1/BS8/BS7: rapid attendance for flats, terraces, and mews properties where kitchen stacks and shared lines are common.
-
North Bristol & M4/M5 corridor (Bradley Stoke, Thornbury, Yate): fast motorway access helps us keep same-day service even in peak hours.
-
West & Coast (Portishead, Clevedon, Nailsea): regular runs for domestic and commercial clients; coastal gullies and tree-lined plots often need HPWJ.
-
South & SE (Keynsham): older clay pipework and long garden runs — we bring the kit to reach and clear.
-
Chepstow: easy jump over the bridge — plenty of landlord/agent work and pub cellars where quick response matters.
If you’re just outside those areas, ask — if we can still get there same day, we will.
Real local case notes (short and credible)
-
Redland, BS6 — Saturday morning: kitchen sink backing up before a family event. We arrived within 2 hours, cleared a fatberg from the outside gully with mechanical rods, then HPWJ’d the run to the boundary. Total time on site: 45 minutes. Flow restored; smell gone.
-
Portishead — restaurant back alley: evening service threatened by an overflowing interceptor. Arrived early afternoon, jetted heavy grease from the line, CCTV confirmed the trap clear. Kitchen back online before dinner service.
-
Thornbury — rented semi: tenant reported repeated slow loo. We found wipes and scale narrowing the pan connector and first bend. Mechanical clearance + short jetting run, then CCTV showed a displaced joint further down. We provided the footage and a simple repair quote for the landlord.
DIY vs. professional — what you can try safely
Safe quick checks now:
-
Lift the outside gully cover (if safe) and look for standing water.
-
Run taps and flush once; see if water level moves at the gully or inspection chamber.
-
Remove and clean the sink trap (have a bucket and towel ready).
-
Boiling water can help with fresh kitchen grease (never for toilets).
-
Enzyme cleaners can help prevention, but they don’t clear a hard blockage.
Red-flag signs — call immediately:
-
Wastewater backing up into baths/showers or at ground-level drains.
-
Strong sewage smell indoors.
-
Multiple fixtures blocking at once (e.g., sink + toilet).
-
You can’t locate or safely access inspection points.
-
Repeats within weeks — that’s a symptom of something deeper.
If in doubt, get us on the phone. We’ll sense-check it with you and, if needed, send a crew with HPWJ, CCTV, and the right heads to fix it in one visit.
Specialist kit & capability (benefits, not jargon)
-
HPWJ (High-Pressure Water Jetting): Clears grease, silt, wipes, and tree roots; cleans the pipe wall, restoring capacity.
-
CCTV survey & tracing: Confirms the clearance; finds defects; maps line routes for future works. You can keep the footage.
-
Root cutting & descaling: Mechanical cutters tackle hard scale and small root ingress that rods alone can’t shift.
-
No-mess approach: We contain splashes, protect floors, and clean down before we leave — your place looks like we weren’t there (apart from the working drains).
Homes and businesses — we cover both
We handle: houses, flats, HMOs, pubs, restaurants, cafés, takeaways, offices, landlords/agents, facilities teams, and small industrial units. Commercial kitchens love us for the fast turnaround; landlords appreciate clear documentation and the option of CCTV confirm. Residential customers want it fixed properly — first time — with a Fixed price, No call-out fee, and Same-day service. That’s our default.
- Fixed price. No call-out. Same-day.

Practical prevention tips
-
Bin, don’t flush wipes, sanitary items, and cotton buds — even “flushable” ones.
-
Fat, Oil, Grease (FOG): Let it cool, scrape to the bin, use strainers in the sink.
-
Leaf fall: Clear yard drains and gratings; a quick sweep avoids blockages in rain.
-
Regular hot flows: Run hot water after washing-up to move fats along.
-
Know your access points: Keep inspection covers visible and not buried under planters.
