Drainage & drain clearance
Blocked drains, CCTV surveys and high-pressure jetting — experienced drainage engineers.
Same day service
in Edinburgh
Book today or tomorrow for drain unblocking, jetting and drainage repairs.
If you’ve got a blocked drain in Edinburgh, we offer fast same-day drain unblocking, high-pressure jetting, and CCTV drain surveys to fix the issue properly — whether it’s a slow kitchen waste, a toilet that won’t flush away, or a main line backing up into the lowest fixture. We cover Leith and Morningside on the same basis. In Edinburgh, where people compare plumbers online, we rely on repeat work and reviews — clear quotes and Gas Safe standards, not cold-call nonsense. From New Town stone to post-war schemes and new flats — we work with access limits and shared stacks daily.
Recent drainage work in Edinburgh
Example 1
A café in Edinburgh needed Drain Cleaning Services when the yard gully smelled constantly, even after a quick rod from elsewhere.
We cleared the line with high-pressure jetting using the correct nozzle, then ran CCTV to confirm the pipe was clean and structurally sound — a fatberg in the bend was the root cause.
Result: The smell stopped; neighbours were happy the pavement wasn’t dug up unnecessarily.
Example 2
We recently tackled Drain Cleaning Services in Edinburgh where roots had cracked a clay lateral — slow drains after heavy rain were the giveaway.
We cleared the line with high-pressure jetting using the correct nozzle, then ran CCTV to confirm the pipe was clean and structurally sound — a fatberg in the bend was the root cause.
Result: Insurance had the footage they needed; we were booked for the recommended repair slot the same week.

Smells and slow stacks often tie back to venting or partial blocks — we test logically. Regular drain cleaning services work in Edinburgh and Leith, Morningside, and Corstorphine means fewer “mystery” callbacks after the first visit.
Why choose us
Jetting isn’t always the answer — sometimes it’s a collapsed pitch or a single trapped object. Our drainage engineers in Edinburgh prove the cause instead of selling repeat visits. In Edinburgh especially, we know you’ve got choice — we focus on honest diagnostics, tidy work, and coming back if something’s not right.
Slow drains, jetting & CCTV in Edinburgh
Across Edinburgh we focus on drain unblocking first: rods, jets and the right nozzles for the pipe material. Urgent callouts are often same or next day. We cover blocked drains, slow bathroom wastes, kitchen lines, manholes and shared runs — with CCTV when you need proof for insurers or a purchase.
A CCTV survey lets us see exactly what's going on in the pipe before we clear it, so we can fix the root cause instead of just clearing the symptom. We quote fixed prices where we can and don't add hidden charges.
Local plumbing & heating in Edinburgh
Edinburgh’s tenements, townhouses and newer suburbs each bring different plumbing challenges: shared stacks in older stone buildings, restricted access in stairwells, and careful work around listed features. We’re comfortable with macerators and tight bathroom layouts, pressure quirks on combis, and heating upgrades where fabric and efficiency both matter. From Leith to Morningside patterns, we aim for solutions that suit how Edinburgh homes are actually built — not generic boiler-shop scripts.
Common questions in Edinburgh
- Do you work on tenement plumbing and shared drains?
- Yes — we’re used to shared services and access constraints, and we’ll explain what’s your responsibility vs common parts where it affects the job.
- Can you repair Saniflo or macerator pumps?
- We attend macerator faults regularly — pumps, alarms and discharge routes — and test properly after repair.
- Are you Gas Safe registered?
- All gas work is carried out by Gas Safe registered engineers; we can provide registration details on request.
- Do you offer leak detection under floors or in kitchens?
- Yes — we trace hidden leaks methodically and minimise unnecessary damage while proving the source.
Typical work we see in Edinburgh
- Tenement stacks, stone fabric, and stairwell access — macerators, combi pressure quirks, and careful work around shared services.
- Hidden leaks and insurance-ready documentation when water tracks through older floors and joists.
- Heating upgrades where TRVs, zoning, and realistic boiler output have to match the building, not a brochure.
