FAQs

How much does blocked drain clearing cost?

Pricing depends on the service type and booking timeframe you select. Simple blockages cost less, while more complex jobs requiring jet rodding or camera inspection are priced accordingly.

Do I need jet rodding or just a plunger?

If the blockage is minor and recent, a plunger may work. If it’s recurring, slow draining, or affecting multiple fixtures, jet rodding is usually required.

When should I get a CCTV drain inspection?

If your drains keep blocking or you suspect damage (like tree roots or broken pipes), a camera inspection is the best way to diagnose the issue.

What happens if the blockage can’t be cleared?

We’ll explain the cause and provide options such as further work, repairs, or inspection — no surprise charges.

Can I book same-day service?

Yes — select the 1 business day option for the fastest available booking.
