Why choose us

Built for the drain that can't wait

Clear time-banded pricing before we dispatch, jetting and CCTV on every van, and a straight answer if a job needs more than a clear.

A time band before you commit

We state an honest arrival window when you call — a real band based on where the nearest engineer is, not a marketing promise.

Cleared on the first visit

Every van carries jetting equipment and a CCTV camera, so most blockages are cleared and confirmed in a single call-out.

Transparent time-band pricing

Out-of-hours and weekend rates are stated as an exact time-banded figure before dispatch.

Paperwork that earns its keep

Every emergency visit can produce a short clip and note confirming the drain is clear.

Engineers dispatched across Greater London

CCTV confirmation of a cleared drain

Confirmed clear

A camera check that backs up every call-out

We don't call a job done because the water's flowing again. A CCTV pass confirms the blockage is actually gone — and flags anything structural behind it.

Book emergency dispatch

Before we arrive

While you wait for us

Four things worth doing in the minutes after a drain backs up — none of them require a plumber.

Stop using the drain

Every flush or drain adds to a backing-up system. Stop until we arrive.

Move what you can

Lift rugs, boxes and valuables clear of any area at risk of overflow.

Photograph what's happening

Timestamped photos help if the cause turns out to be a shared or structural issue.

Call, don't wait it out

A blockage that looks minor now can back up further overnight. Our dispatch line runs around the clock.

How it works

Our Emergency Response Process

01

Your Urgent Call

Contact us anytime — our dispatch team immediately mobilises the nearest available engineer with jetting and CCTV kit.

02

Rapid On-Site Arrival

Our engineer arrives with the equipment to clear most blockages on the first visit.

03

Cleared and Confirmed

We jet the blockage clear, then run a camera to confirm it — not just assume it from flow.

Why Londoners call us

Emergency Drainage 247 — what you can expect

No clear, no charge

If we attend a confirmed blockage and can't clear it with the kit on the van, you don't pay for that visit.

Cleared first time, mostly

Jetting and a CCTV camera on every van mean most blockages are cleared and confirmed in a single call-out.

Time-banded pricing, stated upfront

The fee for your time slot is confirmed on the phone before we dispatch, not announced on arrival.

Urgent questions

Emergency Drainage: Urgent Questions

How fast can you get to my blocked drain?

Dispatch runs 24/7. Arrival depends on traffic, time of day and where the nearest engineer is, but we give an honest window on the phone — not a blanket promise of the same number everywhere in London.

Do you offer a guarantee if you can't clear the blockage?

Yes. If we attend a confirmed blockage and our jetting and cutting kit can't shift it, there's no charge for that attempt. Any follow-up excavation or relining work is quoted separately.

Can you start repairs immediately after clearing?

If the camera shows a structural cause once the blockage is cleared, our engineer discusses the options with you and can often begin the follow-up work the same visit.

Is your emergency service covered by insurance?

Some buildings and home-emergency policies cover drainage call-outs. Check your policy wording — we can provide an invoice and, where useful, a short CCTV clip to support a claim.

What areas of London do you cover for emergencies?

We provide dispatch coverage across all London boroughs. Our network of engineers is positioned to reach any postcode in Greater London with a fast response.

What happens if my drain backs up in the middle of the night?

Our service runs the same way around the clock. Call our line — the same dispatch team answers, mobilises an engineer, and gives the same response, whether it's 3pm or 3am.

What kind of blockages need this urgent response?

Any blockage causing active backing-up, overflow risk, or a totally blocked toilet or sink needs an urgent response. Slow-draining sinks can usually wait for a standard booking.

How do you prioritise emergency calls?

All calls to our emergency line are treated as urgent. Dispatch prioritises based on severity and how close our engineers are, so help reaches the most urgent cases fastest.
