What happens when you call
From the first ring to a confirmed-clear drain
No black box between “we called” and “it's fixed” — here's the actual sequence on a typical emergency visit.
10–2 min
Dispatch confirms your time band
Your postcode and symptoms go straight to the nearest available engineer, with an honest arrival window agreed before anyone leaves.
2En route
Jetting + CCTV already on board
Every van carries both, so no second visit gets booked in just to bring the right kit.
3On site
Jetted, then camera-checked
The blockage gets cleared, then a CCTV pass confirms it — not assumed clear because the water's moving again.
4Wrap-up
Confirmed, priced, closed
The time-banded price agreed at the start is what's on the invoice, with a clip of the clear drain if it's useful later.
On every van
Clear it fast. Confirm it clear.
Jetting kit and a camera on every van, so most call-outs end in a confirmed clear drain on the first visit.
High-pressure jetting
Water jetting clears grease, silt and debris blockages that a plunger or rods cannot reach.
Learn more
CCTV confirmation
A camera confirms the drain is genuinely clear after jetting, not just flowing for now.
Learn more
Root cutting
A mechanical cutter clears root ingress on the same visit when jetting alone won't shift it.

Blocked toilet clearance
The most common out-of-hours call, cleared with the same jetting and camera kit as any other blockage.

Clear time-banded pricing before we dispatch, jetting and CCTV on every van, and a straight answer if a job needs more than a clear.
A time band before you commit
We state an honest arrival window when you call — a real band based on where the nearest engineer is, not a marketing promise.
Cleared on the first visit
Every van carries jetting equipment and a CCTV camera, so most blockages are cleared and confirmed in a single call-out.
Transparent time-band pricing
Out-of-hours and weekend rates are stated as an exact time-banded figure before dispatch.
Paperwork that earns its keep
Every emergency visit can produce a short clip and note confirming the drain is clear.

Engineers dispatched across Greater London
Confirmed clear
A camera check that backs up every call-out
We don't call a job done because the water's flowing again. A CCTV pass confirms the blockage is actually gone — and flags anything structural behind it.
Book emergency dispatchBefore we arrive
While you wait for us
Four things worth doing in the minutes after a drain backs up — none of them require a plumber.
Stop using the drain
Every flush or drain adds to a backing-up system. Stop until we arrive.
Move what you can
Lift rugs, boxes and valuables clear of any area at risk of overflow.
Photograph what's happening
Timestamped photos help if the cause turns out to be a shared or structural issue.
Call, don't wait it out
A blockage that looks minor now can back up further overnight. Our dispatch line runs around the clock.

Urgent questions
Emergency Drainage: Urgent Questions
How fast can you get to my blocked drain?
Dispatch runs 24/7. Arrival depends on traffic, time of day and where the nearest engineer is, but we give an honest window on the phone — not a blanket promise of the same number everywhere in London.
Do you offer a guarantee if you can't clear the blockage?
Yes. If we attend a confirmed blockage and our jetting and cutting kit can't shift it, there's no charge for that attempt. Any follow-up excavation or relining work is quoted separately.
Can you start repairs immediately after clearing?
If the camera shows a structural cause once the blockage is cleared, our engineer discusses the options with you and can often begin the follow-up work the same visit.
Is your emergency service covered by insurance?
Some buildings and home-emergency policies cover drainage call-outs. Check your policy wording — we can provide an invoice and, where useful, a short CCTV clip to support a claim.
What areas of London do you cover for emergencies?
We provide dispatch coverage across all London boroughs. Our network of engineers is positioned to reach any postcode in Greater London with a fast response.
What happens if my drain backs up in the middle of the night?
Our service runs the same way around the clock. Call our line — the same dispatch team answers, mobilises an engineer, and gives the same response, whether it's 3pm or 3am.
What kind of blockages need this urgent response?
Any blockage causing active backing-up, overflow risk, or a totally blocked toilet or sink needs an urgent response. Slow-draining sinks can usually wait for a standard booking.
How do you prioritise emergency calls?
All calls to our emergency line are treated as urgent. Dispatch prioritises based on severity and how close our engineers are, so help reaches the most urgent cases fastest.
