Drain Services in Stockport
Patch drain repairs
Seal one crack or open joint without digging. Patch repairs only, not full relining.
Stockport's History Underground
Stockport has a lot of history underground. In the town centre, the River Mersey runs through a culvert beneath Merseyway, and the 1840 railway viaduct still dominates the western approaches. The town sits on sandstone covered by thick glacial till.
Its housing runs from Victorian terraces near the centre to interwar semis and modern apartments. Older clay drains tend to suffer from cracked joints and roots. Newer plastic ones mostly block with fat, wipes and debris. Busy town-centre kitchens make grease a regular commercial problem.
Common Drain Problems We Solve
Blocked drains can lead to slow drainage, bad smells, overflowing gullies and even flooding if left untreated. Our engineers diagnose the issue properly and clear the blockage safely using professional drainage equipment.
- Blocked outside drains
- Blocked toilets
- Slow draining sinks
- Overflowing gullies
- Drain smells
- Recurring blockages
- Fat, grease and waste build-up
- Root-related drainage issues
Why drains keep blocking: some problems are a straightforward obstruction. Others keep returning because of an underlying issue such as roots, scale, displaced joints, poor pipe falls or damaged underground pipework. That is why proper diagnosis matters. We do not just force a clearance and walk away if the drain clearly needs further investigation.
Professional Drain Unblocking in Stockport
Family-Run, Honest Service
We are a family-run drainage company and pride ourselves on practical advice and honest pricing. If the issue is a simple unblock, we will treat it as one. If the drain is damaged, we will explain the repair options clearly.
We believe in keeping the cowboys at bay by offering realistic advice and transparent pricing, not scare tactics or work that is not needed.
When Further Investigation Is Needed
If a blockage keeps returning, there may be a more serious defect within the line. In those cases, a CCTV drain survey can help identify cracks, root ingress, displaced joints or collapsed sections.
We also offer patch drain repairs where a single defect can be sealed without digging (we offer patch repairs only, not full relining), as well as excavations and repairs for more severe defects.

Our Drain Unblocking Process
-
Assess the problem
Call or WhatsApp us. We identify where the blockage is, what fixtures are affected and whether there are signs of a deeper drainage defect.
-
Clear the blockage
Depending on the issue, we use rods, plungers or jetting equipment to restore flow safely and efficiently.
-
Check and recommend
Once cleared, we check the line is running properly. If needed, we can advise on CCTV surveys, tracing, patch repairs or excavation rather than guessing.
Stockport Drain FAQs
How much does drain unblocking cost?
Rodding and plunging starts from £75 + VAT. If jetting machines or more advanced equipment are needed, prices start from £150 + VAT. Commercial work is quoted on request, from £220 + VAT.
Do I need a CCTV survey after an unblock?
Not always. However, if the blockage keeps returning or there are signs of root ingress, cracks or a collapsed section, a CCTV survey is often the best next step.
Can you clear blocked toilets and outside drains?
Yes. We regularly attend blocked toilets, gullies, external drains and other domestic or commercial drainage problems.
What if the drain is damaged and not just blocked?
If the drain is damaged, we can advise on the most suitable repair, either a patch repair for a single defect or excavation for more serious damage. We offer patch repairs only, not full relining.
