Blocked Drains in Romford
Blocked toilets, sinks, showers and drains cleared, with the cause identified.
Clearing the blockage and finding why
We diagnose and clear blockages in internal and external drainage using professional equipment. We also look for the underlying reason, so the same problem is less likely to come back.
A blocked drain can be as simple as a build-up in a sink waste or as serious as a collapsed underground pipe. We start by working out which it is, then clear the blockage with the equipment that suits the pipe and the problem.
We also carry out regular drain maintenance, so a problem can be dealt with before it turns into an emergency. Once the water is flowing we check the drain again and tell you what we found. If there are signs of damage, roots or repeated build-up, we explain the next sensible step, which is often a camera survey, rather than leaving you with a problem that returns.
What's included
- Blocked toilets and slow-draining sinks
- Backed-up showers and baths
- Blocked kitchen gullies and outside drains
- Blocked underground sewer pipes
- Advice on preventing repeat blockages
- Regular drain maintenance for homes and businesses

Why drains block, and how we stop it coming back
Most blocked drains in Romford and across Essex come down to a few causes: a build-up of grease, hair or wipes, something dropped or flushed that should not have been, tree roots, or a pipe that has cracked or slipped out of line. The right fix depends on which it is, which is why we look at the cause as well as clearing the blockage.
If a drain has blocked more than once, a CCTV survey shows what is happening inside the pipe so the repair can be aimed at the real problem. For urgent blockages, such as a toilet that will not flush or sewage coming up, we also offer a 24 hour emergency call-out.

Amazing Service – Highly Recommended! I can’t thank the drainage team enough for their amazing work! I had a serious problem with my pipes, and everything was completely blocked. The team spent hours working hard to clear the blockage and sort out the problem. They were extremely professional, friendly, patient, and dedicated. Even though it was a difficult and time-consuming job, they didn’t give up and made sure everything was properly cleaned and working again. I was really impressed by their hard work, kindness, and positive attitude. They went above and beyond, and I truly appreciate all their effort. A massive thank you to the whole team! You are a credit to your company. I would highly recommend you to anyone who needs drainage services!Prisca N.Oct 2026
Phoned these guys that came out within two hours and got my mum‘s drains unblocked within 40 minutes. She’s always had a problem with this for a long time, it’s nice to deal with honest reliable people and at a very fair price definitely recommend this company, thank you again guys.Ray M.Oct 2026
Fully recommend to anyone with plumbing issues as they genuinely care to provide a good service and check up on the situation after. Had Jake over to check my loft bathroom and main bathroom on separate occasions and sorted out the problem ASAP and told us the next best steps to reduce costs in the long run. They encouraged us to go with the most cost effective option even if it was not benefitting them directly (in this case our newly done bathroom was having issues which came under a warranty).Ishaq U.Oct 2026

The team done a great job, I had 3 manholes to replace on my drive that were collapsing. They replaced with much better heavier duty ones.Jay N.Sep 2026
Not going to lie these guys actually know their stuff, not some shady guys that’ll give you the run around that your landlord knows… Anyway they came out on the day in an emergency and even went beyond to check the root of the issue! Will be coming back to them as they’re no nonsense. Also they said ETA was 1-2 and they made it here at one, don’t usually leave reviews but they definitely deserved oneS C.Sep 2026
