Here’s a snapshot of our services
Devon’s plumbing quirks, whether it be those old clay pipes in Plymouth cottages or newer systems near Exeter, are second nature to us. We don’t guess; we draw on expert experiences of tackling the exact issues.
No guessing games here. You’ll receive a straightforward quote before any work begins, and if unforeseen repairs arise, we’ll walk you through each choice. Your wallet stays in control.
From high-pressure water jetting to in-pipe camera inspections, our tools match the problem. That means clogs handled swiftly without resorting to harsh chemicals or trial and error methods.
We treat your space as if it were our own—laying down mats, keeping work areas tidy, and cleaning up before we leave. You’ll barely know we were there, aside from the unclogged drain.
Our base fee covers that initial inspection and basic snaking. If your pipes require jetting or additional repairs, like minor relining, we outline each step and cost before proceeding so you stay in control.
For stubborn build-up, whether mineral scale or compacted grease, our jetting system delivers a forceful stream of water to scour pipe walls. This technique restores flow without relying on harsh chemicals, reducing the risk of damage to your drainage network.
Camera Inspection
If symptoms suggest an obscure blockage, we employ a CCTV camera to inspect your drains from within. This approach pinpoints issues such as grease accumulation, root encroachment, or misplaced debris with precision.
When blockages consist of hair, soap residue, or food particles, our technicians use specialised drain rods to clear the obstruction.
In cases where gentle chemical assistance proves effective, we apply eco-friendly cleaning agents that break down organic matter without harming pipes or the environment.
Regular maintenance, quarterly, biannual, or annual, tailored to your usage and water conditions keeps drains clear and reduces repair costs.
Drain emergencies rarely occur at convenient times.
Whether it is a sewer backup in the middle of the night or an urgent kitchen sink blockage on a holiday, our emergency line remains open. A qualified technician is dispatched immediately to mitigate damage and restore proper drainage without delay.
Contact us via phone or online, share clog details, and we dispatch a technician who calls on the way with an exact arrival window for you right away
Upon arrival, we inspect using camera or manual methods, show you the issue, and present a clear, itemized quote before any work commences promptly!!
Our team then proceeds with efficient cleaning, jetting or snaking to eliminate blockages at their root, ensuring thorough, lasting results every time.
We’ll inform you how to use deodorizing agents and flush pipes effectively to eliminate bacteria and drain odours.
Remove built-up grease from traps and lines, restore flow, and advise on practices to prevent future blockages now.
After clearing the clog, we conduct water tests, review before-and-after findings with you and offer simple tips to prevent future issues.

Contact usRegular cleanings depend on your household size and water conditions. For most homes, an annual or biannual inspection and cleaning keeps drains flowing smoothly. Homes with high usage or hard water may benefit from quarterly maintenance to prevent buildup.
Yes. Our high-pressure jetting equipment is calibrated to clear blockages without damaging pipe walls. Before jetting, we inspect your lines with a CCTV camera to confirm pipe integrity. That way, we choose the right pressure level and avoid any risk of cracks or fractures.
Look for water pooling near fixtures, slow drains that no amount of plunging fixes, or foul odours coming from sinks or showers. Gurgling sounds when water drains can also indicate deeper clogs. If you see any of these signs, it is time to contact us.

If a CCTV camera is needed, we insert a small, waterproof camera into your drain line to view the interior in real time. This identifies the exact location and nature of clogs, grease, roots, or debris, so we can choose the most effective cleaning method right away.

call nowFirst 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!
