Blocked drains, CCTV surveys and high-pressure jetting — experienced drainage engineers.
Same day service
in Colinton
Book today or tomorrow for drain unblocking, jetting and drainage repairs.
Rainwater gullies and yard drains get mistaken for mains faults — we prove which pipe is backing up before we price major work. Across Colinton and Edinburgh and Fairmilehead, we clear, test, and camera only where it changes the plan. In Colinton, blocked drain callouts are competitive — we rely on repeat work and reviews: proper jetting kit, CCTV when it matters, and clear quotes — not a quick rod and vanish.
Recent blocked drain & jetting work in Colinton
Example 1
We recently completed Drain Unblocking in Colinton after a kitchen sink kept blocking every few weeks despite plunging and chemicals.
Camera footage showed a displaced joint catching wipes; we cleared, quoted lining vs dig, and carried out a localised repair with minimal excavation.
Result: The buyer proceeded with eyes open — our report went straight to their solicitor without extra questions.
Example 2
A Drain Unblocking callout in Colinton started when the downstairs WC backed up whenever the upstairs bath emptied — a classic main line restriction.
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: Drains ran freely on test; they were pleased we’d proved the cause instead of another “quick rod”.

Jetting needs the right nozzle and pressure for the pipe material; CCTV needs cleanish pipe to see. Our engineers combine both on Colinton jobs and out toward Edinburgh, Fairmilehead, and Comiston so you’re not paying for the wrong pass.
Why choose us
Jetting isn’t always the answer — sometimes it’s a collapsed pitch or a single trapped object. Our drainage engineers in Colinton prove the cause instead of selling repeat visits. In Colinton especially, we know you’ve got choice — we focus on honest diagnostics on slow and blocked drains, tidy work, and CCTV when repeat blockages need proof.
Slow drains, jetting & CCTV in Colinton
Across Colinton 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.
Common questions in Colinton
- Do you cover all of Colinton, not just the centre?
- Yes — we work across Colinton and inner suburbs for blocked drains, slow drains and drain unblocking, with the same standards. Your job is matched to a local engineer where possible. We also work in nearby areas including Edinburgh, Fairmilehead, Comiston.
- Can you attend same day for a blocked drain?
- We aim for same-day attendance for urgent backups and loss of use of facilities when capacity allows — call us and we’ll give an honest arrival window. We also work in nearby areas including Edinburgh, Fairmilehead, Comiston.
- Do you use CCTV on drains in Colinton?
- Yes — we camera lines when the cause isn’t obvious or a blockage keeps coming back, so you get a lasting fix rather than repeat clearing. We also work in nearby areas including Edinburgh, Fairmilehead, Comiston.
- What’s the difference between a slow drain and a full blockage?
- A slow drain usually means a partial restriction; a full blockage often backs up into the lowest fixture. We test first and choose rods, jetting or mechanical clearing to match the pipe — not a one-size-fits-all rod job. We also work in nearby areas including Edinburgh, Fairmilehead, Comiston.
Typical work we see in Colinton
- Older clay and shared runs in Colinton — we jet and rod properly, and use CCTV when repeat blockages suggest more than surface waste.
- Kitchen fatbergs and bathroom wipes — high-pressure jetting with the right nozzles, plus honest advice if the pipe needs repair or lining.
- Yard gullies and rainwater — we prove foul vs surface water before we price major work.
Blocked drain callouts
Fully blocked or slow draining? We clear kitchen lines, WCs and main runs with the right method — jetting, rods or mechanical — and we camera when it keeps coming back.
Drain unblocking
Slow bathroom wastes, gurgling stacks or a utility sink that won’t run off — we unblock properly and explain what caused it so you’re not stuck in a repeat cycle.
CCTV drain surveys
Buying, insuring or tired of repeat blockages? We camera the line and leave footage plus plain notes you can share — so you fix the cause, not just the symptom.
High-pressure drain jetting
Fatbergs, scale and soft root ingress often need proper jetting with the right nozzles — we match pressure to the pipe and clean up after, without wrecking fragile old clay.
