A blocked drain announces itself: toilets that will not clear, gullies backing up in the yard, that unmistakable smell. Most blockages are caused by the usual suspects, fat and grease, wipes, roots that have found a joint, or a pipe defect that has finally caught enough debris to close the bore.

Blocked drains around Much Wenlock run through a stone town and its Edge villages: old, narrow pipework under the town’s historic streets where fat and wipes lodge, and village runs on sloping, stony ground where roots work into elderly joints. The Edge’s gradients move debris until a bend stops it, so blockages lodge predictably. Jetting clears them with pressure suited to the age of the pipe, and a run that blocks on schedule is a defect asking for a camera rather than a habit to manage.

The farms and cottages along the Edge and in the vales either side are predominantly off-mains, with a typical Shropshire mix of ageing septic tanks and newer treatment plants. Properties on the Edge itself often have constrained plots on sloping, stony ground.
