Causes

What blocks Manchester drains

The most common cause. They bind together in the pipe and set hard.

Silt and leaves

Outside gullies fill up, especially in autumn and heavy rain.

Roots and cracked pipes

Old clay drains crack at the joints and roots grow in.

Drains we have cleared in Manchester

Didsbury, M20 · October 2026

Emergency drain unblocking

Responded to an urgent callout in Didsbury after sewage began backing up into an outside drain. Traced the blockage to a build-up of waste and wet wipes in the main drainage pipe. Used high-pressure water jetting to clear the obstruction and tested the system before completing the job.

Chorlton, M21 · September 2026

Blocked drain and overflowing manhole

Attended a property in Chorlton where wastewater was overflowing from an inspection chamber in the back garden. Located a significant blockage caused by grease and accumulated debris. Cleared the pipework using high-pressure jetting, cleaned the affected chamber and checked that the drainage was running freely.

★★★★★
“Kitchen sink had been draining slowly for weeks before it finally blocked altogether. Tried everything ourselves with no luck. They came round, cleared the blockage and left everything tidy. Wish we'd called sooner.”

“Really pleased with the job. Had a blocked drain at the back of the property and they got straight to work. Friendly bloke, explained everything and didn't try selling us anything extra. Would recommend.”
— David P. · M27
★★★★★
“Water kept backing up whenever we used the washing machine. Turned out there was a build-up further down the pipe. All cleared now and working perfectly. Good communication from start to finish.”

What if it cannot be cleared?

The engineer explains what they found and the options, such as a CCTV survey or a repair, and agrees a fixed price before any further work.
