Start with what you can see
Find the right repair in London
You do not need to know the technical name. Choose the description that fits, then see the repair options and what to include in your enquiry.
My toilet is blocked. Who should I call?
Choose toilet unblocking if water rises in the bowl or will not clear. Mention whether other drains are affected and if this is your only toilet; avoid repeated flushing when the level rises. A toilet that drains normally but keeps refilling needs a different plumbing repair.
Why do my sink and shower both drain slowly?
Several affected fittings may point to a blockage farther along a shared waste route, rather than two separate traps. Describe which fittings and neighbouring properties are affected. Responsibility for shared or public drainage should be checked before private work is commissioned.
A drain keeps blocking. Do I need a CCTV survey?
A camera survey may help explain a recurring problem after suitable access and any necessary clearance. It is a different scope from unblocking or repairing the pipe. Share previous clearance dates and reports so we can discuss the useful next step rather than repeat the same work.
The work, explained
How we can help
- Blocked sinks, baths, showers and toilets.
- External drain clearance and investigation of repeated blockages.
- CCTV inspection and drain jetting where suitable, priced to the actual scope.
A clearance, camera survey, jetting visit and structural repair are different scopes. We explain the proposed method and price; excavation, lining, specialist equipment and reinstatement are not automatically included in a small-repair visit.
Help us plan your visit
What to include in your enquiry
- Tell us whether one fixture or several are backing up, and whether neighbours are affected.
- Describe existing access to the affected pipework or outside inspection point; do not open unsafe covers.
- For flats or shared drainage, provide the building contact. Check whether the sewerage company is responsible before commissioning private work.

Example work, explained
Investigating a drain that keeps blocking
- The problem
- A blockage returns after clearance, or several outlets drain slowly. Repeating the same clearance may leave an underlying defect unexplained.
- The work involved
- Establish the accessible drain route and who is responsible, then inspect the agreed runs with a camera where conditions allow. Any clearance needed first is a separate part of the scope.
- Checks and next steps
- Review the recorded findings, explain any visible obstruction or defect and set out the next step. A camera survey does not itself repair a damaged pipe.

Questions about blocked drains & drain unblocking
Is the blocked drain my responsibility?

Parts and further work need a separate quote and your approval. If the repair needs more work, the visit charge still covers call-out and assessment.
