Understanding Drain Unblocking Costs
Drain unblocking costs vary, determined by factors such as the severity of the blockage, location, and time required to sort the issue. That’s why it’s crucial to have a professional assessment, to accurately determine the cost. Different blockages have different costs. A minor blockage may cost as little as £70, while a more complex issue, requiring specialised equipment or a CCTV drain survey, could run up to £250+.

Location Is The Number One Factor That Impacts The Cost Of Drain Unblocking
Drain unblocking services can cost as little as £60 or as much as £250 on average. This price largely depends on where you are in the country. As with most things, the cost of drain unblocking increases the closer you get to London. You can expect to pay, on average, £95 – £120 for professionals to unblock a drain in the London area.
In the North and outer regions of the UK, the price can be as little as £60 up to £80.

Residential Or Commercial Drain Unblocking Costs Differ
Another factor that impacts the cost of drain unblocking is whether you’re a residential or commercial property. Commercial drain unblocking can be a much larger and more complex job and is often charged by the hour. At 247Drainage Rescue Services, we operate on a fixed-cost basis for residential drain unblocking jobs and on an hourly basis for commercial jobs.
If The Blockage Is Caused By Larger Issues, The Cost Can Increase
The third factor influencing the cost of drain unblocking is the nature of the blockage and whether there are any larger issues like damaged or collapsed pipes, tree root ingress or deeper issues with your drainage system. These benefit from professional drain repair, which restores your damaged section to its ‘like new’ performance and will last for many years.
Importance of Regular Drain Maintenance
Maintaining your drains regularly keeps more money in your pocket in the long run. Tips for maintaining healthy drains include regular cleaning, avoiding pouring grease or foreign objects down the drain, and scheduling professional inspections.

What Can I Expect From The Drain Unblocking Process?
Included in our rates, we will lift the drain cover and insert tools. Then we use a high-powered water jet to flush the pipe. This breaks up any masses that are blocking the drains and encourages the debris to move down the drainage system into the main sewer. Once we think we’ve cleared the blockage, we will check the main drain to ensure that the freshwater being used is entering the main sewer. We then clean the area, sometimes with a disinfectant, depending on the situation. The work usually takes around half an hour to one hour. But, if drain access is tricky, the work could take longer.
