What we do
Whether it's a single blocked toilet or a commercial drain that keeps backing up, we clear the blockage, check the drain is running freely and tell you if there's anything else you need to know.
Blocked toilets, sinks, gullies, outside drains and manholes cleared with the right equipment for the job, from rods to high pressure jetting.
High pressure water jetting cuts through fat, scale, silt and debris, cleaning the inside of the pipe back to full flow rather than just punching a hole through the blockage.
Scheduled drain cleaning for commercial premises, landlords and managed properties, keeping drains clear before problems start.
Emergency call-outs
An overflowing manhole, a toilet that won't flush or waste water backing up into the house needs sorting quickly. Call 0800 246 5109 and we'll arrange to get to you as soon as we can, including out of hours.
Signs of a blocked drain
What causes blockages
Poured down the sink as a liquid, fat cools and hardens inside the pipe, catching everything that follows. It's one of the most common causes in kitchens and food businesses.
Wet wipes, including ones labelled flushable, don't break down like toilet paper. They snag in the pipe and build up into a solid blockage.
Outside gullies and surface water drains collect leaves, soil and grit, especially in autumn and after heavy rain.
Roots can grow into joints and cracks, and a broken or displaced pipe catches debris. If a drain keeps blocking, damage is often the cause.
Commercial drain maintenance
A blocked drain can close a kitchen, a toilet block or a whole site. We clear commercial blockages quickly and offer planned maintenance visits to jet and check drains on a regular schedule, so problems are dealt with before they disrupt trading.
We work with restaurants, cafés, shops, offices, industrial units, landlords and managing agents across Essex.
Keeps blocking?
If your drain blocks again soon after being cleared, there's usually a reason, such as a cracked pipe, a displaced joint or roots getting in. A CCTV drain survey will show the cause, and in many cases it can be fixed by relining the pipe without digging.

Rodding pushes through a blockage to get water flowing again. Jetting uses high pressure water to break up the blockage and clean the inside of the pipe, removing fat, scale and debris that would otherwise cause the next blockage.
Repeat blockages usually mean something is catching debris in the pipe, such as a crack, a displaced joint, roots or a build-up of fat. A CCTV drain survey will show the cause so it can be fixed properly.
As a general rule, a drain that serves only your property and sits within your boundary is your responsibility. Shared drains and public sewers are usually the water company's, which in most of Essex is Anglian Water. If you're not sure where the blockage is, we can find out.

No. Even wipes labelled flushable don't break down like toilet paper and are a common cause of blocked drains. Put them in the bin.
