A blocked drain announces itself: toilets that will not clear, gullies backing up in the yard, that unmistakable smell. Most blockages are caused by the usual suspects, fat and grease, wipes, roots that have found a joint, or a pipe defect that has finally caught enough debris to close the bore.

Within a few minutes of Telford’s centre you reach villages and farmsteads that mains sewerage never reached. The north of the borough in particular, out across the Weald Moors towards Kynnersley and Ercall Magna, is dependent on private systems, and the gorge-side properties around Ironbridge and Coalport include older houses with equally old drainage arrangements.

We clear blockages with high-pressure water jetting, which cuts through grease and roots and washes the debris away rather than just punching a hole through it, so the drain is properly clear rather than temporarily relieved. Rods still have their place for simple, close blockages, and we carry both.

Access and practicalities around Telford

Access varies enormously, from good roads on the urban fringe to narrow moor lanes in the north and steep, tight streets dropping into the gorge. We match the vehicle to the job, and long hose runs deal with tanks that sit well away from hard standing.

What the service includes

  • High-pressure water jetting of foul and surface water drains
  • Blocked toilets, sinks, gullies, soil stacks and manholes
  • Descaling and root cutting with the appropriate jetting heads
  • Camera checks after clearing where a defect is suspected
  • Preventive jetting programmes for properties and businesses with known problem runs

Drain Unblocking: common questions

How quickly can you get to a blocked drain?

Usually same day within our Shropshire coverage area, and we prioritise blockages causing internal flooding or affecting the only toilet in the house.

Is jetting safe for old pipes?

In experienced hands, yes. Pressure and jetting heads are chosen to suit the pipe material and condition, and older clay or pitch fibre lines are treated with appropriate care.

The drain blocks every few months. Is that normal?

No. A healthy drain should not block on a schedule. Repeat blockages almost always mean a defect or a root mass in the line, and a CCTV survey will show exactly what and where it is.
