Everything we publish here comes from jobs we have actually been out to. After 17 years clearing drains across Surrey and South London, the same questions come up on the phone most weeks. Why does a kitchen sink keep backing up? What does the smell from an outside gully mean? Is a blockage that keeps coming back actually a collapsed pipe, and what is any of it likely to cost?

So that is what we write about. The guides below are put together by the engineers who do the work, in plain English, with honest pricing and a straight answer on when a problem is worth sorting yourself and when it is not.

If you have a drain causing trouble today, it is usually quicker to go straight to our drain unblocking or CCTV drain survey page, or call us on 07771 200075. If you are reading up before it turns into an emergency, start with how to spot a collapsed drain, as that is the one people miss most.
