Dealing with a blocked drain, slow-running sink or overflowing gully? Drainage problems are common across Swindon, especially in busy residential areas where pipework has aged or systems are under pressure.
RAM Drainage provides fast, reliable drain unblocking throughout Swindon and nearby areas. From blocked kitchen waste pipes in Old Town to external drainage issues in North Swindon, we locate the fault quickly and get things moving again with minimal disruption.
Drain blockages can develop for many reasons, from grease build-up and debris accumulation to obstructions within pipework. Our engineers use specialist equipment to diagnose and clear blocked drains safely, efficiently, and with minimal disruption.
We regularly resolve:
Our priority is restoring normal drainage quickly while identifying any underlying causes to help prevent repeat issues.
Drain emergencies rarely occur at convenient times. When drainage problems begin to cause flooding, backups, or property damage, rapid response becomes essential.
R.A.M Drainage Solutions provide 24/7 emergency drain services across Swindon, ensuring urgent blockages and drainage failures are addressed without delay.
Some drainage problems require deeper investigation. Our CCTV drain surveys in Swindon allow us to inspect pipework internally, helping identify hidden faults, structural defects, and recurring blockage causes.
CCTV surveys are particularly useful for diagnosing:
Using advanced diagnostic equipment, we can pinpoint problems accurately and recommend targeted repair solutions.
While many blocked drains can be cleared quickly, some issues require professional repair solutions to prevent ongoing problems and long-term damage.
R.A.M Drainage Solutions provide:
Our engineers focus on delivering reliable, long-term repair solutions designed to restore full system performance.
If your sink, bath or shower takes longer to empty, there may be a build-up forming inside the pipework.
Bad smells coming from drains often indicate trapped waste or stagnant water further along the system.
Air pockets caused by partial blockages can create bubbling or gurgling noises when water flows.
If flushing one appliance affects another, it usually points to a deeper blockage in the drainage line.
Standing water around drain covers or gullies suggests the system can’t cope with demand.
Weak flushing or rising water levels may signal a restriction further down the pipe rather than an issue with the toilet itself.
If you notice any of these warning signs at your Swindon property, it’s best to act early before the problem worsens.
Swindon’s mix of established neighbourhoods and modern developments means drainage systems vary widely. Older pipework, expanding housing estates and heavy rainfall can all contribute to recurring drainage problems.
Areas with mature trees, such as Old Town and Lawn, often experience roots entering small cracks in underground pipes.
Properties across Rodbourne, Gorse Hill and Pinehurst may still rely on older drainage systems that have shifted or deteriorated over time.
Natural ground movement or soil settlement can place stress on underground pipework, leading to fractures, joint displacement, or partial collapses.
When rainfall is high, partially blocked drains can quickly become overwhelmed, leading to backups or flooding.
Grease, wipes and food debris remain one of the most common causes of blocked drains in homes across Haydon Wick, Abbey Meads and Stratton.
Items such as wipes, hygiene products, paper towels, and other unsuitable materials are a frequent cause of sudden drain blockages and system restrictions.
Because we work across Swindon regularly, we understand how local drainage networks behave. That’s why we:
Use CCTV drain surveys to check for cracked clay pipes and hidden faults
Offer trenchless pipe relining, so we can fix damage without digging up your garden
Respond fast to flooding and emergency call-outs during heavy rain
Work with landlords and letting agents to keep shared drains clear in flats and HMOs
Drainage problems rarely improve on their own. Acting quickly can help prevent costly repairs and unnecessary disruption.
Blocked drains can force water back into sinks, toilets or outside areas. Early intervention reduces the risk of structural damage.
Standing wastewater can lead to unpleasant smells and potential health risks. Clearing blockages quickly helps restore a safe environment.
For restaurants, shops and commercial premises across Swindon, fast drain clearance keeps operations running smoothly.

EXCELLENT Based on 20 reviews Posted on Ian PalingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had heard, from a friend, that R. A. M. Drains were a reliable company who carried out good work. We contacted them to ask for a quote, they arrived on time and very quickly identified the problem. We were given an estimate which was very reasonable. The work was carried out with very little disruption to our lives and on completion they left things so clean and tidy it was amazing. I would highly recommend R. A. M. both on the quality of the work and the cost. Thanks Ross , Ant and team.Posted on Tilly MchughTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Blocked drain, come out and fixed it. Quick and competitivePosted on Nicola KayeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. RAM Drains proved excellent, hardworking, honest and professional. I had a broken underground drain fixed by relining, gutter downpipe tucked into the ground and soakaways installed to manage ongoing excess rainwater issues. Price was competitive, complex works were detailed, the care and attention to my requirements and ensuring I could trust it would be done well was exceptional.
