Fast, no-mess blocked drain clearance

A blocked drain is more than an inconvenience. Left alone, it can back up into your home, damage flooring, and leave a smell that doesn't go away on its own. The sooner it's cleared properly, the smaller the job stays.

We clear blockages at the source — not just the symptom. Whether it's a slow-draining kitchen sink, a shower tray full of standing water, or an outside drain overflowing after rain, we'll find the blockage, clear it, and check the drain is flowing freely before we leave.

We work in homes, flats, landlords' properties and small businesses across Crawley, Horsham, Horley, East Grinstead, Redhill and Crawley Down.

Most blockages are cleared in a single visit.

What we clear

Kitchen sinks

Grease, fat and food waste are the usual culprits. We clear the trap, waste pipe and the run beyond it.

Toilets

Toilets that won't flush, fill slowly or back up. Cleared carefully, without damage to the pan or the floor.

Baths & showers

Hair, soap and limescale build up in bath and shower wastes. We clear the blockage and restore full drainage.

Basins & vanity units

Slow basins, gurgling wastes and bad smells from basin traps and pop-up wastes.

Outside drains & gullies

Blocked gullies, yard drains and rainwater gullies — including the leaves, silt and debris that collect in them.

Soil pipes & stacks

Gurgling, slow flushing across several fittings and smells from the stack usually point to a deeper blockage. We investigate and clear it.

4Prevention advice

We tell you what caused it and how to stop it happening again.

What causes blocked drains?

Cooking fat and oil — poured down the sink, it cools, hardens and narrows the pipe.
Wet wipes and sanitary products — even "flushable" wipes don't break down like toilet paper.
Hair and soap — the classic bath and shower blockage.
Food waste and coffee grounds — they settle and build up in kitchen wastes.
Leaves, silt and roots — outside drains and older pipework are vulnerable, especially after heavy rain.

Frequently asked questions

How much does blocked drain clearance cost in Crawley?

Most straightforward blockages are cleared in a single visit. You get a clear, upfront quote before any work starts — no hidden fees and no surprise call-out charges.

Can you clear a blocked drain the same day?

In most cases, yes. Call 07908 948654 and we will aim to get an engineer to you the same day, subject to availability.

What should I not put down the drain?

Never put cooking fat, oil, wet wipes, sanitary products, cotton buds or coffee grounds down the drain. They are the most common causes of repeat blockages.

Is a blocked drain an emergency?

If sewage is backing up, water is rising, or there is a strong smell, treat it as urgent and call us straight away. A blocked sink that still drains slowly can usually wait for a same-day appointment.

Yes — kitchen sinks, bathroom drains, toilets, baths, showers, soil pipes, gullies and outside drains across Crawley and nearby towns.
