Drain Unblocking in Shropshire
Fast drain unblocking with high-pressure water jetting for blocked drains, toilets, gullies and soil stacks, at homes and businesses across Shropshire.
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.
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.
If a drain keeps blocking in the same place, something is wrong in the pipe. Repeat blockages are the classic sign of a displaced joint, a root mass or a broken section, and we can put a CCTV camera down the line to find the cause rather than repeatedly treating the symptom.
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
Whose drain is it?
In most cases the pipework within your boundary serving only your property is yours, while shared drains and public sewers belong to the water company, Severn Trent across most of Shropshire. Off-mains properties own the lot, from the house to the tank to the soakaway. If a blockage is on the public side we will say so, because that clearance should not cost you anything.
Wipes and fat are the villains
So-called flushable wipes do not break down and are behind a large share of the blockages we clear. Fat poured down the kitchen sink sets like candle wax in the cool of the drain. Bin both and most drains will behave for years.
Why it keeps blocking
A drain that blocks repeatedly usually has a defect behind it. Clearing treats the symptom; finding the fault is what stops it recurring.

Frequently asked 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.
