FAQs
Generally speaking, the property owner is responsible for the drains inside the boundary of the property. The sewage company is responsible for lateral drains outside of private properties, as well as sewers.
Most common items to cause blockages are toiletry items such as wet wipes, sanitary towels and tampons. Equally, food waste and grease can easily build up and cause of blockage, as can structural damage, and plant and tree roots.
Sinks and toilets that drain slowly, bad smells coming out of the sink, and gurgling in the pipes are all signs of possible blockage.
Unblocking a drain can take anything from 10 minutes to a few hours. The time depends on the size of the drain, as well as the seriousness of the blockage.
Drain unblocking can cost anywhere between £50 and £100, depending on the size of the job. Best way to find out the price is to get quotes from your local drainage engineers.
