Drain Unblocking — frequently asked questions
What's the difference between drain unblocking and blocked drains?
Drain unblocking covers sinks, toilets, baths, and shower drains inside your property, while blocked drains work also includes external gullies and manholes. If you're not sure which applies, request a quote and describe the symptom — we'll point you to the right service.
Do you charge a call-out fee for drain unblocking?
No, we don't charge call-out fees. You'll get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
Can you unblock an external drain as well as an internal one?
