We attend homes and businesses across Manchester with clear fixed pricing. Because access varies by property, call-out times stay flexible. There is no call-out fee, and we give you a fixed quote before any work starts.
We offer drain unblocking, CCTV drain surveys, drain jetting, drain repairs and 24/7 emergency call-outs in Manchester. Each job starts with a look at the problem, so you know what to expect. Because we quote a fixed price first, there are no surprises on the day.
If you decide not to go ahead, you owe us nothing. Meanwhile, urgent jobs go to the front of the queue. Mark your request urgent when you contact us, and we will treat it that way.
A drain is out of sight, so a fault can be hard to find. A camera survey shows what is wrong. Then we explain the fix in plain words, and the choice is yours.
Manchester's drains vary from street to street. City-centre pipes date back over 150 years and still carry water from streets like Deansgate and the Northern Quarter. Because mature trees line leafy areas like Didsbury and Withington, tree roots cause trouble there too.
Heavy rain tests the old sewers hard, because they carry both waste water and rain water in one pipe. Low areas like Hulme and Moss Side feel this first. Restaurants near Chinatown also add fat and grease, which build up fast without regular clearing.
New building work near Spinningfields and Ancoats often joins straight onto the old pipe network. As a result, basement flats in Chorlton can flood back in heavy rain. Student flats near the university pack more people into old pipes, so blockages are common there too.
While every property is different, we know the local drains well. That goes for an old terrace in Withington, a new flat in Deansgate or a shop near Town Hall. We carry the right tools for cracked pipes, tree roots and grease alike.
Since Stockport's clay-rich soil and Victorian-era pipework create unique drainage challenges, blockages are common. Here are seven tell-tale signs that one is developing.
Drain MaintenanceKitchen blockages account for most of the call-outs we attend across Stockport and Cheshire, yet most are preventable. A few simple changes make the difference.
CCTV SurveysBecause Stockport's housing stock ranges from Victorian mill-town terraces to modern estates, drains vary widely. Whatever you are buying, a drain survey protects your investment.
Many Manchester homes still use clay pipes over 100 years old. This is true of Victorian terraces in Didsbury and Chorlton. Because these pipes are near the end of their life, tree roots and ground movement harm them more easily. The tree-lined streets in these areas make root problems even more likely.
Manchester's food scene means many properties near Chinatown and the Northern Quarter see grease build-up. Never pour cooking oil down the sink. Collect it and bin it instead. Since prevention is cheaper than a call-out, we suggest yearly jetting for any food business or nearby home.
Manchester's older sewers carry both waste and rain water in one pipe. Heavy rain can overwhelm them, especially in low areas like Hulme, and push water back into nearby properties. Since backflow is a real risk in flood-prone spots, a backflow preventer is worth considering there.
Yes, because new builds near Spinningfields and Ancoats often connect to the old Victorian network. Our engineers work with both old and new systems regularly. If you own a newly built property in these areas, a CCTV survey shows exactly how it connects to the wider network.
