Call our Shipston-on-Stour response line. We gather details about the affected fixtures — sinks, toilets, baths, or external drains — and dispatch the nearest available engineer.

Access & Assessment
On arrival typically within 75-90 minutes, we identify which section of drainage is affected and determine whether the blockage is localised or further downstream.

Depending on the blockage type, we use manual drain rods, an electromechanical drain snake, or high-pressure jetting equipment to clear the obstruction.

The blockage is fully removed and the line is flushed with water to confirm unimpeded flow from every connected appliance.

Should I try to unblock the drain myself before calling you?
Simple blockages near the plughole may respond to a plunger or drain cleaner. However, if water is backing up from external drains or multiple fixtures are affected, professional equipment is needed. Attempting to rod shared drainage incorrectly can push the blockage further downstream.
