blocked external drains - recommendations required

[cakey]

Can anyone recommend someone to unblock my external drains? I smell stagnant water and need to do something about it. Thanks

Would have no hesitation at all in recommending Jon from Drains and Mains: 07771 586759

He recently unblocked ours as well as installing a whole new waste system. He got the job done on time and was very reasonable, clean and tidy with his work.

Thank you so much for PM msgs and update on here. I managed to speak to Dave from Down The Drain who came out, gave me some great (free) advice and left me his card should the problem not clear. What a lovely helpful man. Thanks again all and thank you Dave! cakey

I second the recommendation for Jon from Drains and Mains. He cleared a blocked drain for me this morning at a VERY reasonable price. Friendly and considerate to boot! Would have no hesitation in using again, but hope I don't have to in the near future!

It may be the property owner's responsibility if:

It may be our responsibility if we have public sewers in the area and at least one of the following applies:

The problem is outside your property boundary
