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.

North Shropshire’s dispersed dairy farms and roadside cottages are overwhelmingly off-mains. Around Whitchurch that includes properties on the mosses, where deep peat and high water tables made drainage difficult in every era, and plenty of mid-century tanks that have quietly outlived their design life.

We clear blockages with high-pressure water jetting, which cuts through grease and roots and washes the debris away rather than just punching a hole through it, so the drain is properly clear rather than temporarily relieved. Rods still have their place for simple, close blockages, and we carry both.

Access and practicalities around Whitchurch

The land is flat but the lanes are narrow, and moss-edge tracks can be soft for much of the year. We plan heavy vehicle movements with that in mind, and hose reach covers the tanks a tanker should not drive to.

What the service includes

  • High-pressure water jetting of foul and surface water drains
  • Blocked toilets, sinks, gullies, soil stacks and manholes
  • Descaling and root cutting with the appropriate jetting heads
  • Camera checks after clearing where a defect is suspected
  • Preventive jetting programmes for properties and businesses with known problem runs

Where we go around Whitchurch

As well as Whitchurch itself, we cover the surrounding villages and farms, including Prees, Tilstock, Whixall, Ash, Ightfield, Fauls, Edgeley. If you are somewhere smaller or somewhere between, call anyway: if the lane goes there, so do we.

Drain Unblocking: common questions

How quickly can you get to a blocked drain?

Usually same day within our Shropshire coverage area, and we prioritise blockages causing internal flooding or affecting the only toilet in the house.

Is jetting safe for old pipes?

In experienced hands, yes. Pressure and jetting heads are chosen to suit the pipe material and condition, and older clay or pitch fibre lines are treated with appropriate care.

The drain blocks every few months. Is that normal?

No. A healthy drain should not block on a schedule. Repeat blockages almost always mean a defect or a root mass in the line, and a CCTV survey will show exactly what and where it is.
