Step 2: Roman Is on His Way
Plymouth-based Roman Hadlow is typically on site within one hour across the city — whether you’re in Devonport, Plymstock, Derriford, or Mutley. Being local means he knows Plymouth’s road layout and gets to you faster than any regional contractor would.
Step 3: Honest Diagnosis
Before any work begins, Roman assesses the full drainage system. Plymouth’s mix of ageing clay pipes, coastal corrosion, and hilly terrain means blockages are rarely straightforward — he identifies the root cause, not just the symptom, and explains what he finds in plain English.
Step 4: Upfront Price, No Surprises
You receive a clear quote before Roman touches anything. Drain unblocking starts from £100, jetting from £155, zero hidden fees. No charge pressure, no ambiguity.
Step 5: The Job Done Properly
Roman uses high-pressure water jetting and non-chemical methods throughout, protecting Plymouth’s coastal drainage network. Every drain cleaning job finishes with a CCTV scan — you receive video confirmation the drain is genuinely clear.
Step 6: Guaranteed and Followed Up
Every job is backed by Drainblock’s comprehensive guarantee. Roman provides practical tips to help prevent future blockages specific to your property and area. Rated 5 stars by 87 Plymouth customers — that standard applies to every callout.

Plymouth’s Victorian and post-war housing stock relies heavily on ageing clay pipe systems that are prone to root ingress, silt build-up, and joint displacement — especially on the city’s hillier streets where debris accumulates at low-lying bends. Coastal salt air also accelerates corrosion in older metal fittings. Roman Hadlow identifies the underlying cause, not just the immediate blockage.

First time I’ve used Drainblock but Roman was brill. Top class. Great communication, excellent work and knowledge , and fairly priced. Having hired many many trades as a landlord and holiday let owner I can say I really wish they were all this easy to deal with.
Called Roman with a query about a blocked drain at 1815 .
Was given very competitive prices for a call out at this time of night and a straight forward breakdown of what it may cost if the time went over 1 hour.
Gladly agreed to get him out and can happily say drain was completely unblocked within 45 minutes of original call.
Roman very kindly gave his time and experience to help us deal with a terrible experience from a rogue trader. He reviewed CCTV footage and was able to explain what would have been a reasonable and fair (in contrast to what happened to us). I’m incredibly grateful to him. I will certainly choose him for a good, honest local service in the future. Thanks, Roman!
