Frequently asked questions
Commonly asked questions from our customers in the Reigate area.
How much does it cost to unblock a drain in Reigate?
Drain unblocking in Reigate typically costs £125 plus vat for a standard domestic job. The final cost can vary depending on the type of property, whether the blockage is in a private or shared drain and whether the work is carried out in the evening, at weekends or on a bank holiday.
Can I unblock a drain myself?
You can sometimes unblock a minor drain blockage yourself using a plunger or drain rods. However, most blocked drains in Reigate require professional equipment such as high-pressure water jetting, especially where the blockage is deep, recurring or caused by grease, debris, wet wipes or tree roots.
Do you offer emergency drain unblocking in Reigate?
Yes, we provide emergency drain unblocking in Reigate 24/7, including evenings, weekends and bank holidays. Fast attendance is important where blocked drains are causing overflowing gullies, backed-up toilets or wastewater building up around the property.
Do you cover blocked drains in Redhill and nearby areas?
Yes, we provide drain unblocking services across Reigate, Redhill and nearby areas. This includes domestic and commercial properties, as well as locations where access to the drainage system can be more complex or require specialist equipment.

Shared or public drains in Reigate are usually the responsibility of Thames Water. If the blockage is in a shared sewer outside your property boundary, they will typically attend and clear the issue free of charge.
