Fast, super efficient, very friendly and honest service! Solved the problem quickly without any hassle. Highly recommended!Posted on Google Graham DixonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’d recommend Lee for any drain issues. He just sorted out a messy blockage for us on Surrey Road, and he did a good job. Our drains were backed up and causing us problems. Lee turned up when he said he would, got straight to work with high-pressure jetting gear, and cleared the whole lot in no time. He even cleaned up properly after himself, which you don't always get. He knows his stuff and doesn't charge the earth.Posted on Google Taylor LeighTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Outstanding service!

We understand the common drainage issues affecting properties across Southampton and the surrounding areas.
Older properties in areas such as Portswood, Shirley and the city centre often experience blockages caused by ageing pipework or structural issues. In more suburban areas like Bitterne and Hedge End, tree root ingress and ground movement are more common causes of drainage problems.
Our team regularly works across Southampton, including Totton, Woolston, Eastleigh and nearby areas, giving us hands-on experience with the types of drainage systems used locally.
This local knowledge allows us to diagnose issues faster and provide the most effective long-term solution.
We make the process simple and stress-free.
Your call is answered quickly, and we assess the urgency of the issue.
An engineer is sent to your Southampton property as soon as possible.
We identify the root cause using specialist equipment such as CCTV drain surveys where required.
We clear the blockage and resolve the issue properly, not just temporarily.
We provide guidance to help prevent future drainage problems.
We provide expert drain unblocking services across Southampton for both domestic and commercial properties. We offer same day blocked drain services wherever possible.

Blocked household drains are commonly caused by grease, food waste, hair and everyday debris building up inside the pipework.

Blocked drains can disrupt business operations quickly. Whether you run a restaurant, office or commercial premises, drainage issues need to be resolved fast.
We provide reliable commercial drain clearance across Southampton to minimise disruption and get your systems working again.
If you are experiencing recurring drainage problems, a CCTV drain survey in Southampton is the most effective way to identify the root cause.
Using a high-resolution camera, we inspect your drainage system internally to detect issues such as cracks, collapsed pipes or root intrusion.
We often recommend a CCTV drain survey when:
Following the survey, we provide clear recommendations for the next steps.
Not all damaged drains require excavation. We offer modern repair solutions that minimise disruption to your property.
Our drain repairs include no dig pipe relining, which allows us to repair pipes internally without digging up driveways or gardens.

Pipe relining provides a long lasting and cost-effective solution.
Blocked drains can occur for a number of reasons. Some of the most common causes we see across properties in Southampton include:
Cooking fats and oils can solidify inside pipes, leading to stubborn blockages.
Tree roots can grow into small cracks in underground pipes, restricting water flow.

Our team responded quickly and cleared the blockage on arrival. To ensure the issue would not return, we carried out a CCTV drain survey, which identified blistered pitch fibre pipework as the root cause.
Following this, we completed on-the-spot drain relining repairs, providing a long-term solution without the need for excavation.
✔ Emergency response and fast clearance
✔ CCTV drain survey to identify the root cause
✔ On-the-spot drain relining completed
