Drain Unblocking Details

Drain unblocking for sinks, toilets & outside drains

Slow drainage, gurgling, smells, or an overflow are common signs of a blockage building up. We respond quickly and use the right equipment for the job.

Once the drain is running freely again, we’ll talk you through what we found and what to do next if there’s an underlying issue.

What we can help with

Blocked sinks, baths and showers
Blocked toilets and soil pipes
Outside drains, gullies and channels
Recurring blockages and bad smells

Pressure Washing Details

High-pressure jetting to restore flow

If a drain keeps blocking, there’s usually build-up inside the pipe rather than a one-off obstruction. Jetting clears the internal walls to help restore full flow.

We’ll confirm the best approach first and explain any follow-up steps if we spot damage or root intrusion.

Jetting is great for

Grease and food build-up
Slow drains and frequent blockages
Commercial maintenance cleans
Post-unblocking pipework rinse-through
State-of-the-art equipment

CCTV Drain Surveys Details

CCTV surveys to find the real cause

Some drainage problems can’t be diagnosed from the surface. CCTV inspection lets us see exactly what’s going on inside the pipework.

You’ll get a clear explanation of the issue and recommended options — from cleaning to repair work if needed.

Professional CCTV surveys

The latest CCTV camera equipment
Remotely controlled system operated by experts
Real-time image relay for locating obstructions
Qualified technicians to confirm structural integrity
Quick removal of obstructions, including root encroachment and waste accumulation

Root Cutting Details

Remove roots safely and restore flow

Root intrusion is a common cause of recurring blocked drains. We remove roots using specialist cutting equipment and flush out debris.

Where needed, we’ll recommend follow-up repairs to help stop roots returning through the same entry point.

Patch Lining Details

Localised repairs without digging

Recurring blockages and leaks are often caused by a small defect — a crack, a failed joint, or a root entry point. Patch lining targets that exact spot from inside the pipe.

We’ll explain what we find and confirm whether patch lining is the right option before any work starts. If it’s not suitable, we’ll talk you through the best alternative.

Patch lining is ideal for

Cracked pipe sections and minor fractures
Leaking or misaligned joints
Root entry points (after root cutting)
Localised defects identified on CCTV
Repeat blockages linked to one damaged area

“Fast, friendly and professional service. Responded really promptly to my email request via their website and Tudor was here the following day to clear the blocked drain. Worked quickly and clean, explained what he was doing and didn't try to get more hours out of me or charge for a service I didn’t need. One of the best trades I’ve ever used and will be using him again if needed. Thanks Tudor Carrington.” - Steve

“Excellent service, friendly, professional and efficient. Easy to make booking and agree work required. Blocked drain was cleared and fully pressure washed with cctv survey completed. Tudor did not leave until everything had been cleaned and all drain covers cleaned and replaced. Thank you for a top quaility job. Highly recommended.” - Charles

“What an amazing service, lovely chap that fixed my nightmare. I cannot recommend him enough. I live in the sticks outside of Malton and he came to within hours and all sorted. A fraction of the price of dynarod, but a million times better service.” - Carol

“We encountered a blockage in our toilet that a normal plunger and drain rod could not fix, this quickly turned nasty with toilet water overflowing into our downstairs bathroom. My wife called Tudor and he came within the hour and kept in touch with his where abouts at all times. He provided a fantastic, friendly and professional service, showed us the difficult blockage on the camera and did not stop until he removed it (it was stubborn)! Highly recommend this brilliant company. Thank you” - Ste

“I have used Drain Local to clear blocked drains on three occasions over the last six years. Their service has been excellent on each occasion. Very good response time with excellent communication, they keep you informed with regard to expected arrival time. They do an excellent job at a fair price. On the most recent visit there was an exceptionally difficult blockage to clear but after tremendous efforts they were again successful, I can't thank them enough. I highly recommend them as a 'go to' service for blocked drains.” - Darren

“Excellent 5* service! ⭐️ We had an emergency blockage and Tudor was round within the hour. Very professional, polite and friendly. Hopefully we don’t need to use these services again (in the nicest possible way). Would definitely recommend! Thanks very much! ” - Sophie
