What’s included

What Our Blocked Drain Service in Sheffield Includes

Every blockage is different, but a typical call-out follows the same steps.

  1. Finding the Blockage

    We lift the manholes and check the drains to find exactly where the blockage is.

  2. Clearing the Drain

    We clear it by rodding or with high-pressure drain jetting, depending on what’s causing it.

  3. Checking It’s Clear

    We run water through to make sure everything flows. If the drain keeps blocking, we can check it with a CCTV drain survey.

  4. Cleaning Up

    We clean up around the drain, paths and driveway before we leave.

Damian was an absolute star last night with my elderly neighbour. He turned up as promised and resolved the blockage quickly. He was professional and very respectful towards her and I would definitely use him again if needed. Thank you so much Damian.

Answers to the questions customers ask before booking.

Still have a question? Speak directly to your local plumber. 0114 321 2272
What causes blocked drains?

The most common causes are wet wipes, sanitary products, fat poured down sinks, leaves and silt in outside gullies, tree roots and damaged pipes.

Can I unblock a drain myself?

For a gully covered in leaves, clearing the grate can help. Avoid chemical drain cleaners and don’t open manholes unless it’s safe. If the water isn’t going down, call us.

Who is responsible for a blocked drain?

You’re usually responsible for the drain that only serves your property, within your boundary. Shared sewers are usually the water company’s responsibility. See our blocked sewer clearance page for more.

Why does my drain keep blocking?

Repeat blockages often mean there’s damage, roots or a build-up in the pipe. A CCTV survey shows the cause, and a damaged drain can often be repaired without digging by drain relining.

How quickly can you get to me?

We aim to be at your door in under 60 minutes, and we’re available 24 hours a day, including bank holidays.

Do you charge for call-outs?

No. We never charge for call-outs, and we offer free estimates.
