FAQ

Common Questions

Everything you need to know about our drainage services.

How quickly can you respond to an emergency?

We aim to be with you within 60 minutes for emergency drain blockages across the Herne Bay, Whitstable and Canterbury area. We operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, including bank holidays and Christmas.

Do you charge a call-out fee?

No. We never charge a call-out fee. You only pay when we quote and you agree to proceed. Our pricing is fully transparent with fixed rates, no surprises.

What causes a blocked drain?

The most common causes are fat and grease build-up, wet wipes, hair, tree root intrusion, and collapsed or misaligned pipe sections. A CCTV survey is the best way to identify the exact cause.

Can you identify rats coming in through drains?

Yes. We use CCTV camera surveys to pinpoint exactly where rats are entering the drain system. We can then fit rat blockers and advise on the best treatment approach to prevent re-entry.

Do you cover areas outside Herne Bay?

Absolutely. We regularly work across the whole of East Kent including Whitstable, Canterbury, Faversham, Margate, Ramsgate, Broadstairs, Sandwich and Deal. Call us to check if we cover your postcode.
