Drainage services for homes in Dorset and Hampshire

These are our drainage services across Dorset and Hampshire, for homeowners, tenants, landlords and buyers. Each page below gives you the starting price, how the engineer does the job, what the service won't fix and what to book instead.

Something is blocked: unblocking services

Water backing up, rising or refusing to drain. The price is agreed before the engineer starts.

Drain unblocking

The general service for any blocked drain. The engineer finds the blockage, picks rods, jetting or a cutter to suit, then proves the run is clear on camera. From £80.

Emergency drain unblocking

Sewage coming up, a toilet about to overflow, or the only loo in the house out of action. Phone lines are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including bank holidays. From £80.

Blocked toilet

A pan that fills instead of flushing, or a toilet that gurgles when the bath empties. Sometimes the fault is in the pan, sometimes in the drain outside. From £80.

Blocked sink, bath or shower

Kitchen sinks choked with grease, basins and showers slowed by hair and soap. From £80.

Blocked outside drain

An overflowing gully, a manhole full to the brim, or a drain under the patio that smells. From £80.

Drain jetting

When a drain keeps slowing down, high pressure water cleans the pipe wall back to bare, not just a hole through the middle. From £150.

You need to see inside the pipe: drain surveys

A camera survey tells you what's actually wrong before you spend money on a fix.

CCTV drain survey

For repeat blockages, smells, damp near a wall or an insurance claim. You watch the footage with the engineer and keep a copy. From £150.

Homebuyer drain survey

For anyone buying a house, especially an older one. A written report you can hand to your solicitor or use to negotiate. From £195.

The pipe is damaged: drain repair services

Cracks, roots, displaced joints and collapses. These are priced after a survey, once we've seen the damage.

Drain repairs

The starting point for any damaged drain, from a single cracked joint to a broken section under a lawn. Patch repairs from £250.

Drain relining

A resin liner cured inside the old pipe, sealing cracks and root entry without a trench. £80 to £150 per metre.

Collapsed drain repair

When the pipe has caved in and water can't get past, the damaged length is dug out and replaced. Quoted after a camera survey.

Rainwater has nowhere to go: soakaway services

For gardens that flood after rain and downpipes that back up.

Soakaway installation

A new crate soakaway for a roof, extension or driveway, sized to the area it drains. From £850.

Soakaway repair

A soakaway that takes hours to empty or overflows in heavy rain, jetted and checked before anything is replaced. From £150.

Not sure which service you need?

Most people aren't, and that's fine. Send a photo of the problem with a callback request and an engineer will tell you which service fits and what it's likely to cost. Or call 0800 246 5347 and describe what you can see.

Every service comes with a fixed price agreed before any work starts, and our written guarantee covers the work. The full price list shows what each job includes and what can make it cost more. For the question we hear most often, read who is responsible for blocked drains.
