Cost of unblocking drains

E D

We have two (partly) blocked exterior drains. One that can’t cope with heavy rainfall, the other is smelly because of (neighbours’) fat and detergent.

It‘s not an emergency.

Contacted a company which charges £75 labour per half hour plus £45 materials/equipment per half hour. Ex VAT.

Seems exorbitant to me, even for London.

Is that really what I should expect to pay or do you have different experience?

Maybe even a recommendation?

Thanks!

    Hi Ed, The price seems ok, however, I would ask for a fixed price, rather than per half hour. We paid for a drain jet wash £180 last year, https://mrdrains.co.uk/

    Hope this helps

    Thank you both.

    Is a ‘drain jet wash’ the same as using a pressure washer? I tried that on the drain that’s not coping with heavy rain but that didn’t do the job.

    Might it work on the smelly drain? I could then do that myself (reluctantly since I haven’t caused the blockage...).

    Its similar to pressure wash but its attached to a hose which they push down the drain to the blockage. Its not possible with a pressure washer alone. Yes price is good, we pay about £200 every time we have to get unblocked!
