Bath's older properties, particularly in the Georgian city centre and Victorian suburbs like Oldfield Park, have drainage infrastructure that can be over 150 years old. Our engineers clear blockages using appropriate equipment for period drainage systems across Bath.
We assess symptoms and use camera equipment where needed to pinpoint the exact blockage location in your Bath property.
We choose the most appropriate clearance method — rodding, jetting, or mechanical cutting — for your drain type and blockage.
We clear the blockage completely and flush the drain to verify full flow is restored.
We explain what caused the blockage and provide practical advice to reduce the risk of it recurring.
We assess the blockage type and drain age before selecting the most appropriate clearance method. Period clay drains receive careful treatment with appropriate jetting pressures. We always verify flow restoration before completing the job.
Local tip: Bath's Georgian and Victorian properties often have undocumented drainage modifications made over 150 years. A CCTV survey before any significant plumbing work clarifies what lies beneath.
Our engineers are based across Bristol and surrounding areas and typically reach Bath typically within 60-75 minutes. Most blocked drains are cleared within one to two hours of arrival. We carry full jetting and rodding equipment on every vehicle.
Most standard drain blockages in Bath are cleared for between £80 and £150 with no call-out fee. We provide a fixed quote before starting work. Complex blockages requiring jetting or CCTV survey may cost more, and we always explain this clearly before proceeding.
In Bath we commonly encounter debris accumulation in aged clay drainage and root ingress from established garden trees. Properties such as Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces, listed buildings, stone-built period properties, and modern flats can be particularly susceptible depending on the age of the drainage system and surrounding vegetation.
Blocked drains are one of the most common plumbing problems in Bristol. Understanding the causes helps you prevent them — and know when to call for help.
Drain SurveysA CCTV drain survey uses a small camera to inspect your Bristol property's drainage from the inside. Here is when it is worth the investment.
