With over 20 years experience investigating and resolving blocked drains and leaking drain/flooding problems the Pest Professor Ltd offers a basic drain unblocking service on a "no charge if not cleared" basis.

9 out of 10 blocked residential and small business drains can be resolved via this service so its nothing to pay if we don't succeed and a very competetive fixed price of £65 if we do.

Call now on 0758 6335329 or refer to the prices page for details.

Should your drain require high pressure power jetting then we can provide this at £140 for up to 2 hours site time. You should not need any more jetting time than this on any single drainage problem.  If a pipe has not jetted clear in this time then there is likely to be a significant problem such as a collapse which will require investigating and repairing.  Our operators will provide you with more detail of their observations whilst undertaking the jetting.

Call now on 0758 6335329 or refer to the prices page for jetting details.

If your drain requires CCTV survey, root cutting, excavation and repair, relining, patch repair, interceptor trap removal etc then we can handle alll of this for you.  We will be happy to carry out investigation works, report findings and provide quotation.
