How blocked drains works in Bath

1

Call & Describe

Phone us and describe the symptoms — slow drainage, gurgling, bad smells, or standing water. We dispatch a local engineer to your Bath property, arriving typically within 60 minutes.

2

On-Site Diagnosis

Your engineer inspects all access points and, where necessary, deploys a CCTV drain camera to pinpoint the exact blockage location and cause inside the pipework.

3

Clear the Blockage

Using high-pressure water jetting, mechanical rodding, or electromechanical cutting tools, we remove the obstruction completely and flush the line clean.

4

Flow Verification

We run water through every affected fixture and inspect the drainage run to confirm full flow has been restored with no secondary issues.

5

Report & Prevention Advice

You receive a summary of what caused the blockage and practical steps to prevent it recurring, tailored to your Bath property type.

Our approach in Bath
