Our Drainage Services & Fixed Pricing
Standard Drain Unblocking — £156
Our core service covers blocked drains across Berkshire. The £156 price includes high-pressure water jetting to blast through blockages, and applies where there is clear and safe access to all inspection chambers and no additional issues such as collapsed pipework or hidden defects. If access is restricted or we uncover problems beyond a standard blockage, we will always discuss further work and costs with you before proceeding — no surprises. Most blockages are resolved in under one hour. We attend within 1–2 hours of your call, day or night, including weekends and bank holidays. Common blockages we clear include fat and grease buildup, tree root intrusion, baby wipes, sanitary products, food waste, and collapsed pipe debris.
CCTV Look See Inspection — £168 Fixed Price
A visual-only drain assessment using HD CCTV cameras. Ideal for diagnosing recurring blockages, pre-purchase property surveys, or investigating drainage problems. For £168 we insert an HD camera into your drain to inspect its condition, provide a verbal overview of findings on-site, and share photos of any issues discovered. We then give professional recommendations for any repairs needed. Duration is up to one hour. Important: this is a visual assessment only — no written reports or video footage are provided. If you need a formal written survey with video, please discuss your requirements when booking.
Emergency Callouts After 6pm — £198
The same professional drain unblocking service with an out-of-hours premium for urgent evening, night, and weekend emergencies. Available 24/7, 365 days including Christmas and bank holidays. We typically respond within 1–2 hours across Berkshire. Our van is fully equipped with jetting equipment, drain rods, and CCTV cameras so we can start work immediately on arrival.
Drain Cleaning & Maintenance — From £160
Thorough preventive cleaning of drain pipes using high-pressure water jets to remove stubborn buildup before it causes a blockage. This service targets grease, fat, limescale, and mineral deposits, clears tree root intrusions from pipe joints, and is suitable for both domestic and commercial drainage systems. Regular cleaning prevents expensive emergency callouts and extends the life of your drainage system.
Drain Repairs & Patch Lining — Quote Based
Modern no-dig repair technology that fixes damaged drains without excavation. Patch lining involves inserting a resin-impregnated liner that is cured inside the pipe, creating a new pipe within the old one. All patch lining work carries a 50+ year warranty. This method causes minimal disruption to gardens, driveways, and landscaping. We repair tree root damage, cracks, fractures, and displaced joints. For severely damaged drains, full excavation and replacement is also available.
Drainage Maintenance Contracts — Quote Based
Preventive maintenance plans for residential and commercial properties. We offer quarterly or annual inspection schedules, priority emergency response for contract holders, and discounted service rates on all callouts. Ideal for landlords, property managers, restaurants, care homes, and schools who want to prevent drainage problems before they occur.
Gutter Cleaning & Repairs — Quote Based
Professional gutter maintenance to prevent water damage and drainage issues. Services include leaf, moss, and debris removal from gutters, downpipe clearing and flushing, gutter realignment and seal repairs, and seasonal maintenance packages.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does drain unblocking cost in Newbury?
Standard drain unblocking costs £156 including high-pressure jetting, where there is clear and safe access to all inspection chambers and no additional issues. If access is restricted or we uncover hidden defects, we'll discuss further work and costs before proceeding. Emergency callouts after 6pm cost £198. No call-out fee during standard hours.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency?
Usually within 1–2 hours for urgent callouts anywhere in Berkshire. We carry all equipment on the van so can start work immediately on arrival.
What is a CCTV Look See inspection?
For £168 fixed price, we insert an HD camera into your drain to visually inspect its condition. You receive a verbal overview and photos of any issues. This is a visual assessment only — no written reports or video footage are included.
What causes blocked drains?
The most common causes are fat and grease buildup (especially near restaurants and takeaways), tree root intrusion into pipe joints (very common in older Newbury and Thatcham properties), flushed baby wipes and sanitary products, autumn leaf debris, and collapsed or displaced pipes in aging drainage systems.
Should I try chemical drain cleaners before calling?
We strongly advise against chemical drain cleaners. They can corrode pipes (especially older clay and cast iron drains common in Berkshire), rarely clear the blockage fully, and can make the problem worse. Professional mechanical clearing with rods or jetting is safer, faster, and more effective.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. We service restaurants, pubs, care homes, schools, offices, retail premises, and industrial units throughout Berkshire. We also offer maintenance contracts for commercial properties requiring regular drainage attention.
