FAQs
What does your flat-rate drain opening service in Manchester include?
Our flat-rate covers a full diagnostic assessment, mechanical or high-pressure water jet clearing of one internal or external drain line up to 30 metres, and a post-clear flow test. The price is fixed, so you pay the same whether the job takes 20 minutes or two hours—no hidden call-out, labour, or equipment surcharges.
Are there any situations where additional charges might apply?
The only extras occur if (1) we discover collapsed or badly damaged pipework that needs repair or replacement, (2) specialised equipment such as a root-cutting head or CCTV survey is requested, or (3) more than one separate drain line is blocked. We always explain findings on-site, provide a written quotation, and get your approval before any additional work starts.
Do you offer emergency or out-of-hours service, and is the flat rate still valid?
Yes. We operate 24/7 across Manchester. Our published flat rate applies during standard hours (8 am–6 pm, Mon–Sat). For evenings, Sundays, and bank holidays we add a modest, clearly stated emergency surcharge, but the drain-opening labour and equipment costs remain fixed—no hourly billing surprises.
How quickly can you attend my property in Manchester?
For most Manchester postcodes we can be on site within 60–90 minutes for urgent blockages. You’ll receive an SMS tracking link and a precise arrival window once the job is booked. Non-urgent appointments can usually be scheduled for the same or next working day.
What types of drains can you clear under the flat-rate plan?
We handle kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, toilets, showers, floor gullies, soil stacks, external gully traps, and main household sewer laterals up to 100 mm (4 in) diameter. Commercial, industrial, or larger-bore drains can be serviced too, but they fall under a separate tariff due to specialised machinery.
Is the work guaranteed?
Absolutely. All drain-opening work carries a 30-day no-quibble re-call guarantee on the line we cleared. If the same drain blocks again within that period under normal usage, we’ll return and reopen it free of charge. Longer warranties are available when we carry out remedial pipe repairs or replacements.
