Here you can find short answers to the questions we hear most often. They cover blocked drains, CCTV surveys, repairs and urgent plumbing problems. If your question is not listed, send it through the form instead.
Each answer is short, because most problems need a look before anyone can say more. Therefore the plumber will ask about your property when you get in touch. Specific advice only makes sense once the fault is clear.
How do I report a drainage emergency?
Send an urgent enquiry through our 24/7 online enquiry form. Describe what is happening, whether that is flooding or sewage backing up. A local plumber will get back to you. See our emergency drain services across Colchester and Essex.

Can you help with commercial drainage problems?
Yes, we offer drainage services for homes and businesses. Whether you manage a shop, office, restaurant or industrial site, we can help with blockages, repairs and maintenance. That includes commercial drain jetting.
What is a CCTV drain survey and when is it needed?
A CCTV drain survey uses a small camera to inspect the inside of your pipes. It helps because it can diagnose recurring blockages and find cracks or damage. It also shows the condition of drains before you buy a property. We offer specialist pre-purchase drain surveys for homebuyers.
How can I prevent blocked drains?
Avoid pouring cooking oil and fat down the sink. Use drain guards to catch hair and debris, and bin wet wipes and sanitary products rather than flushing them. Regular drain jetting can also help keep drains clear. Read our guide to preventing kitchen drain blockages for more tips.
