Frequently asked questions
Commonly asked questions from our customers in the Croydon area.
How much does it cost to unblock a drain in Croydon?
Drain unblocking in Croydon typically costs £125 plus vat for a standard domestic job. The price can increase if the property is commercial or if the drains are shared, for example in flats, or if the work is carried out in the evening, weekends or on a bank holiday.
Can I unblock a drain myself?
Yes, you can sometimes unblock a minor drain blockage yourself using a plunger or drain rods. However, most blocked drains in Croydon require professional equipment such as high-pressure water jetting, especially if the blockage is deep, recurring or caused by grease, debris or tree roots. Chemical drain cleaners are not recommended as they are often ineffective and can damage pipework.
Do you offer emergency drain unblocking in Croydon?
Yes, emergency drain unblocking is available in Croydon 24/7, including evenings, weekends and bank holidays. Fast response times help prevent further damage and disruption to your property.
What are the common causes of a blocked drain?
The most common causes of blocked drains in Croydon are grease buildup, wet wipes, food waste and tree root intrusion. In older properties, blocked drains can also be caused by damaged or collapsed pipework, which may lead to rodent issues, ground movement or even subsidence if remedial works are not carried out.
Who should I call for a blocked drain in Croydon?
You should contact a professional drain unblocking company in Croydon with the right equipment, such as high-pressure water jetting and CCTV drain surveys, to quickly identify and clear the problem. We recommend looking for a Checkatrade approved company.
