Trusted Local Drainage Specialists
The Drain Unblocking Company is a family-run drainage business based in Cheadle, on the edge of Stockport. For over 10 years we've cleared blocked drains, toilets, sinks and gullies for homes and businesses across Stockport, Cheadle, Bramhall, Hazel Grove, Didsbury, Wilmslow and the surrounding areas, with more than 3,000 jobs completed.
We also offer drain unblocking in Manchester, covering south and north Manchester, Trafford, Bolton and the surrounding Greater Manchester towns, but not the M1, M2 or M3 city-centre postcodes. Whether it's an overflowing outside drain on a Sunday night or a kitchen sink that's been slow for weeks, you get honest pricing, an engineer who knows drains, and a straight answer.
Our approach is simple: if it's not broken, don't fix it. If it's a simple blockage, we clear it and treat it as one. If there's a deeper problem, we show you on camera and explain your options, with no scare tactics and no work you don't need.

Blocked outside drains, manholes, sinks, baths and gullies cleared with rods, plungers or high-pressure jetting. £75 + VAT or £150 + VAT, fixed Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
Blocked toilets
Blocked, slow-flushing or overflowing toilets, including downstairs toilets and blockages in the soil stack.
CCTV drain surveys
Camera surveys for homebuyers, landlords and repeat blockages, with clear footage and an honest explanation of what it shows.
Drain tracing
Find where a drain runs, locate a buried manhole and pinpoint a problem before anyone starts digging.
No-dig patch repairs
Seal a single crack, open joint or root-damaged section from inside the pipe. Patch repairs only, not full relining.
Excavations and repairs
Collapsed or broken drains confirmed on camera first, then dug out and replaced only where needed. We also replace old cast iron soil pipes.
Saniflo installs and repairs
Saniflo and macerator systems installed and repaired for toilets and showers where gravity drains can't reach.
Land drainage and flooding
Land drains, soakaways and pumping stations for waterlogged gardens, driveways and surface water.
Commercial drainage and maintenance agreements
Unblocking and planned maintenance for shops, food outlets, offices, schools and landlords. Quote on request.
No-Dig Patch Drain Repairs
We can repair cracked, leaking and root-damaged sections of drain from the inside using no-dig patch repairs. This means many drains can be repaired without major excavations, making the process faster, cleaner and less disruptive.
We do patch repairs only, not full relining. If a pipe has collapsed, we'll show you on camera and talk you through the excavation options.
Missing a Gully Lid?
Send us your exact measurements before your appointment and we can 3D print you a replacement gully lid.
£10 + VAT for the first lid and £5 + VAT for each extra lid. Maximum size currently available: 200mm x 200mm.

How much does drain unblocking cost?
Our domestic prices are fixed: £75 + VAT for rodding and plunging and £150 + VAT for jetting and machine work. You pay for the method that clears it, never both. Fixed prices apply Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. Evenings, weekends and bank holidays may cost more, and we'll tell you the rate before we set off. Commercial work is quoted on request, from £220 + VAT.
Is there a call-out charge?
There's no call-out charge when we carry out the work. If we come out and can't carry out any work, a minimum £30 + VAT wasted-visit charge applies. Our pricing and terms page has the details.
Do you cover Manchester as well as Stockport?
Yes. We're based in Cheadle and cover Stockport borough, south and north Manchester, Trafford, the Wilmslow area, Bolton and the surrounding Greater Manchester towns. We don't cover the M1, M2 or M3 city-centre postcodes. Call 07375 521027 to check your postcode.
Are you open 24/7 for emergencies?
Yes, we're open 24/7. Call or WhatsApp 07375 521027, day or night, and we'll tell you when we can get to you. Our fixed prices apply Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. Evenings, weekends and bank holidays may cost more, and we'll tell you the rate before we set off.
Will you check my drain with a camera?
Yes. We offer a free CCTV camera check with every unblock where applicable, so you can see the drain is clear and whether there's any damage. A written CCTV report is a further £80 + VAT. For homebuyer and full drainage surveys, see our CCTV drain surveys page.
Can you fix a cracked drain without digging?
Often, yes. Our no-dig patch repairs seal a single crack, open joint or root-damaged section from inside the pipe. We do patch repairs only, not full relining. If a pipe has collapsed, we'll show you on camera and explain the excavation and repair options.
Do you install and repair Saniflo toilets?
Yes. We install and repair Saniflo and other macerator systems for toilets and showers where ordinary gravity drainage can't reach, such as under the stairs, in a loft conversion or in a basement.
Can you give a second opinion on a drain repair quote?
Yes. If you already have CCTV footage from another company, send it to us (WhatsApp is easiest) and we'll review it for free and tell you honestly what we think. If we need to inspect the drain ourselves, we'll agree the cost with you first. Read more about getting a second opinion.
