We’re a trusted local drainage company in Southampton, available 24/7 with no call-out fees, fast response times, and experienced engineers who know the area inside out.

What are some of the key signs you have a blocked drain?
If any of these are happening, don’t wait. A quick response can prevent damage and save money.
Southampton has a mix of Victorian terraces, post-war estates, and modern flats, each with its own drainage issues. Being a busy port city with dense housing and mixed infrastructure, we regularly encounter:
In low-lying areas like Woolston, Weston Shore, and Redbridge, heavy rainfall and rising tides can quickly overwhelm surface water drains. Poor soakaway performance often leads to garden or basement flooding.
Mature trees are common in Highfield, Bassett, and Bitterne Park. Roots naturally seek out water and often invade old or damaged drains, causing cracks, blockages, and even collapsed pipes over time.
Bournemouth’s coastal location means when it rains, it can rain heavily and fast. That can overwhelm blocked or partially clogged drains, leading to garden flooding or water backing up through manholes.
In student-heavy areas like Swaythling and The Polygon, shared pipework in flats and HMOs often causes repeat blockages — particularly from kitchen grease, wipes, and foreign objects flushed into communal drains.
We work across SO postcodes daily — so we know what to expect. Whether it’s a tree root in Bitterne or a blocked stack in a city flat, our engineers have the tools and experience to fix it fast.
Based locally in Southampton | Fast response | Long-term solutions
In residential areas like Shirley, Bitterne, and Bassett, even a small blockage can quickly escalate. It might mean water rising in the toilet, a sink that won’t drain, or bad smells in the kitchen or garden. We work with homeowners and landlords to clear drains quickly — often the same day — and prevent long-term damage.
Restaurants, pubs, gyms, and shops in Portswood, Ocean Village, and the city centre rely on smooth drainage to stay open and compliant. A blocked drain can stop service or even force temporary closure. We provide a service for nightclubs, offices, restaurants and commercial buildings across SO.
