Know your enemy

So What's Actually Blocking Your Drain?

A lot of the South East's drainage from Victorian terraces in Croydon and Brighton to old clay runs across leafy Surrey is getting on in years. As experienced blocked drain specialists, here's what we run into most.

Fat, grease and food waste

Cooking fat down the sink cools, sets and narrows the pipe a little more each time until one day nothing moves at all. High-pressure flushing strips it right back to clean pipe.

Wet wipes and sanitary products

"Flushable" wipes don't actually break down. They catch on joints, clump together and form solid plugs deep in the run. We pull them out completely instead of just punching a hole through.

Hair and soap scum

Bathroom drains block slowly and then all at once. A sluggish shower tray is your early warning a drain clean now costs far less than an emergency later.

Tree root ingress

The leafy streets and big gardens around Purley, Caterham, Reigate and Haywards Heath come with a catch: roots find pipe joints, push their way in and eventually crush older clay pipes. CCTV surveys locate them, then jetting and relining sort them out.

Leaves and garden debris

Come autumn, outside gullies across the South East fill up with leaves and silt. Leave it, and the first heavy downpour turns a blocked gully into a flooded patio see our waterlogged garden solutions.

Cracked or collapsed pipes

If the same drain keeps blocking, the pipe itself is usually the problem. No amount of jetting fixes a collapse only repair or relining does, and we handle both.

"Blocked drain sorted the same evening the engineer arrived within the hour, cleared it completely and there was no call out fee. A very fair price too. Wouldn't hesitate to call again."

David MillerCroydon

"Called at 9pm with a completely blocked kitchen drain. The engineer was here by 10:30 and had it fixed in under an hour. No call out fee, and he explained everything clearly. Brilliant."

Emily ClarkeBrighton & Hove

"Blocked outside drain at our property I called on a Sunday morning and they were here by lunchtime. Cleared it with high-pressure jetting and left no mess behind. Excellent service."

James HartleySutton

"We'd had a recurring blocked drain for months. They ran a CCTV survey, found a root intrusion and relined the pipe. It hasn't blocked since. I only wish I'd called them sooner."

FAQs

Blocked Drain Specialists FAQs Your Questions Answered

A few things worth knowing before you pick up the phone.

No, never. Our blocked drain specialists don't charge a call-out fee for any drain job, anywhere in South East England. You get a fixed price upfront, so you know exactly what you'll pay before we lift a single drain cover. For a rough idea of pricing, see our drain unblocking cost guide.

Usually the same day. We have blocked drain specialists on call 24 hours a day across Purley, Croydon, Sutton, Epsom, Redhill, Crawley, Brighton and Worthing and for a genuine emergency we aim to be with you inside the hour.

The usual culprits are fat and grease, hair, wet wipes, tree roots and damaged pipework. Loads of homes across the South East especially older suburbs and coastal towns still run on clay drainage that roots and failing joints get into easily. As experienced blocked drain specialists, we find and fix the actual cause, not just the symptom.

We cover Purley, Croydon, Coulsdon, Kenley, Sanderstead, Warlingham, Caterham, Sutton, Mitcham, Kingston upon Thames, Epsom, Redhill, Reigate, Crawley, Horsham, Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill, Brighton, Hove, Worthing and Eastbourne, plus the whole of South East England.

Yes. We run 24-hour emergency drain unblocking across South East England every day of the year evenings, weekends and bank holidays included. A blocked drain doesn't keep office hours, so neither do we.

Unblocking clears whatever's in the way fat, wipes, roots or debris to get things flowing again. Repair fixes actual damage to the pipe: cracks, collapse or failed joints. If a drain keeps blocking, the pipe is often the real issue and it'll keep happening until that's repaired. We do both, including no-dig relining where digging would cause a mess.

Absolutely. A blocked toilet, a slow-draining sink, a backed-up shower or an outside gully are all everyday jobs for our blocked drain specialists. We clear the blockage at the source, check the run is flowing properly, and leave the area clean for homes and businesses right across South East England. If your toilet overflows late at night, here's our emergency guide.

Both. Our blocked drain specialists look after homeowners, landlords, restaurants, shops, offices and managed properties across the South East.

Tap What You're Seeing — Get an Instant Read

A blocked drain rarely fails without warning. Tap the symptom that matches what's happening at your property and we'll tell you how urgent it is, what to do right now, and whether it's your responsibility or the water company's.

Pick the closest match

Keep an eye on it

Slow-draining water

Usually the first sign of a partial blocked drain — grease, soap scum or debris is narrowing the pipe. It rarely clears itself and almost always gets worse, so it's the cheapest stage to fix.

What to do now

Stop tipping fats, food and hair down that outlet. Avoid chemical drain cleaners — they rarely shift a real blockage and can damage older pipes. Book a clearance before it becomes a full blockage.

Whose responsibility?

Almost certainly yours — a single slow outlet is a problem in your private pipework, not the shared public sewer.

Not urgent yet, but it won’t fix itself. Use the call or quote buttons at the top of the page when you’re ready. No call-out fee, fixed price agreed first.

The usual culprits

What Actually Causes a Blocked Drain?

After thousands of jobs across London, Surrey and Sussex, the causes we pull out of drains barely change. Six offenders are behind the vast majority of the blocked drains we clear — ranked here by how often we find them.

Knowing the cause matters, because clearing a blockage isn't the same as fixing it. Roots and cracked pipes come straight back unless the pipe itself is repaired — which is why we finish with a CCTV drain survey on jobs that look likely to recur.

1 Fat, oil & greasePoured down the sink warm, it cools and sets hard inside the pipe — the classic kitchen blockage and the seed of every fatberg.
2 Wet wipes & hygiene products"Flushable" wipes don't break down like toilet paper. They snag and build into a solid mass that chokes the pipe.
3 Hair & soap scumThe bathroom version of grease — it binds together and slowly narrows bath and shower wastes until they crawl.
4 Tree root ingressRoots find hairline cracks in older clay pipes and keep growing — the top cause of a blocked drain that returns again and again.
5 Leaves & siltOutside drains fill with leaves, soil and grit — especially after heavy rain along the Sussex coast — until they back up.
6 Cracked or collapsed pipeCommon in pre-1980 clay pipework. Debris catches at the break, and limescale in hard-water areas narrows it further — this needs repair, not just clearing.
