Why our emergency price is the same as daytime
The UK norm for emergency drainage callouts is typically 50 to 100% higher than a daytime visit — many firms charge extra simply because it's dark, a weekend, or a bank holiday. We don't. Nights, weekends and bank holidays are charged at exactly the same rate as a daytime visit. The UK norm for emergency drainage callouts is typically 50 to 100% higher than daytime rates — we don't charge it.
We back that up with a real response target, not a vague promise: our engineers aim to arrive typically 60 to 90 minutes across Swindon, 24 hours a day, and urgent jobs — flooding, sewage backup, or a complete loss of drainage — are prioritised for the fastest possible dispatch.

Pricing FAQs
How much does a blocked drain cost to clear in Swindon?
A blocked drain typically costs £85–£260 to clear, depending on whether it's a single fixture, an outside gully, or the main drain. Every job is quoted as a fixed price, confirmed before any work starts — there is no call-out fee.
Why is your emergency price the same as your daytime price?
Nights, weekends and bank holidays are charged at exactly the same rate as a daytime visit. The UK norm for emergency drainage callouts is typically 50 to 100% higher than daytime rates — we don't charge it. We think charging extra just because it's dark outside is unfair, so nights, weekends and bank holidays are billed at exactly the same rate as a weekday afternoon.
How quickly will an engineer arrive?
We aim to arrive typically 60 to 90 minutes across Swindon, 24 hours a day. Urgent jobs — flooding, sewage backup, or a complete loss of drainage — are prioritised for the fastest possible dispatch.
Are these prices fixed, or could the final bill be higher?
Every figure on this page is a typical range, not a fixed price in itself. Your engineer confirms the exact price on site before any work begins — VAT included — and it doesn't change once you've agreed to it.
Is pipe relining cheaper than digging up my drain?
Usually, yes. Full CIPP relining costs £110–£190 per metre (around £900–£1,900 for a typical 6–10 m run) and cures a new pipe wall inside the old one — with a design life of around 50 years, comparable to a new plastic pipe — through existing access points, with no excavation. Excavation only becomes necessary once a pipe has fully collapsed, and starts from £1,500–£5,000+.
Do you charge VAT on top of these prices?
No — every price on this page already includes VAT, so the figure you see is the figure you pay.
