The staff are very friendly and helpful. The services is also top notch. I had issues with my key stuck in the drainage and Roman was very helpful in sorting out the issue. I will recommend the services of Drainblock anytime. Thanks so much.

Chicho Ormah

After being let down by several other companies, I was beginning to lose hope of finding a reliable drain unblocking service. Thankfully, Drainblock came to the rescue, and I can confidently say they are the best in Plymouth!
The customer service was second to none, I highly recommend them!

Brendan Assibi

Roman came over quickly despite it being a weekend and fixed my blocked drain swiftly and efficiently, and gave me some advice about what to look for if it happens again. Excellent service, very friendly and approachable.

Frequently Asked Questions about blocked drains

Below you’ll find answers to our most common questions about blocked drains, repairs, and CCTV surveys. If you don’t see the information you need here, or you’d like more details, just give us a call.

We operate a 24/7 emergency response service. Once you call, our nearest technician is dispatched immediately. In most cases within Plymouth city limits, we’ll arrive in under 60 minutes. We’ll keep you updated on our technician’s ETA, so you know exactly when they’ll arrive.

We serve all of Plymouth and surrounding suburbs, including Plympton, Plymstock, Saltash, Devonport, and Derriford. If you live just outside these areas, give us a call—chances are high that we cover your location, too.

Yes. We recommend that someone is present while our technicians work, primarily for access and to answer any questions they might have. If you can’t stay on site the whole time, just let us know in advance, and we’ll arrange a convenient time for a quick handover and walkthrough.

Our standard drain cleaning service starts with an inspection to identify the cause of the blockage. We then use high-pressure jetting to remove debris, grease, and silt. Finally, we perform a brief CCTV scan to confirm the drain is clear and provide you with a short video clip so you can see the results for yourself.

A typical CCTV drain survey on a standard domestic system takes between 30 and 60 minutes. For larger properties or more complex layouts, it may take up to 90 minutes. We provide a full report, including video footage and recommendations, at the end of the inspection.

For most homes, we recommend a basic drain jetting and inspection every 12–18 months to prevent blockages and identify early signs of wear. If you notice slow drainage, foul odours, or frequent gurgling sounds, it’s best to book a check as soon as possible rather than waiting for the annual service.

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.

Jeff Hillier

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.

Greig Johnstone

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!
