FAQs
What types of drain blockages can your Newport team clear?
Our licensed plumbers can clear virtually any residential or commercial blockage, including kitchen sinks clogged with grease, bathroom drains obstructed by hair or soap scum, main sewer lines blocked by tree roots, storm-water drains filled with silt or leaves, and floor drains burdened with sediment. We use mechanical cable machines, high-pressure water jetters, and enzymatic solutions to match the tool to the blockage, ensuring a thorough and long-lasting fix.
How fast can you respond to an emergency drain opening request in Newport?
For emergencies—such as overflowing toilets, backed-up floor drains, or a flooded basement—we offer true 24/7 service across Newport and the surrounding suburbs. Calls received during business hours are usually attended within 60–90 minutes, while after-hours or weekend calls are prioritised and dispatched as soon as the on-call technician is available. Our local presence means you won’t wait for a crew to travel from another city.
Do you provide CCTV camera inspections, and why are they important?
Yes. After clearing the blockage, we insert a high-resolution CCTV camera into the line to verify that the pipe is completely open and to identify any underlying issues such as cracks, belled joints, or intrusive roots. This visual confirmation prevents recurring problems, helps us recommend targeted repairs or preventative maintenance, and gives you a permanent video record for insurance or real-estate needs.
Are your drain-opening methods safe for older or fragile pipework?
Absolutely. Before selecting a method, our technician assesses the pipe material—cast iron, clay, PVC, or galvanised steel—along with its condition. For fragile or deteriorating pipes we avoid aggressive cutters and opt for low-torque flex-shaft cables or low-pressure rinsing before finishing with a gentle chemical enzyme treatment. These techniques restore flow without causing additional damage, giving older systems a new lease on life.
Will your plumbers clean up after completing the drain service?
Yes. Respecting your property is part of our high-quality promise. We lay down drop sheets, wear protective boot covers, and use wet vacs to contain any spillage. All debris extracted from the drain is bagged and removed, affected surfaces are disinfected, and we perform a final walk-through so you can verify that the workspace is as clean—or cleaner—than when we arrived.
How much does professional drain opening cost in Newport, and what affects the price?
Simple sink or tub stoppages typically start around £90–£120, while main sewer or storm-water line blockages that require hydro-jetting and CCTV inspection range from £220–£350. Factors influencing price include the drain’s accessibility, the severity and location of the clog, the need for specialised equipment, and whether service is required after hours. We provide an upfront, itemised quote before work begins, so there are no surprises on your final invoice.
