Same day service

Book today or tomorrow for drain unblocking, jetting and drainage repairs.
CCTV drain surveys are useful when you’re buying a house, tracing smells, or proving where responsibility lies between property and main sewer. We survey in Newington, Edinburgh and Marchmont and nearby streets with clear footage and plain-English notes you can share with insurers or builders. Busy area: we win drain work by diagnosing properly, explaining costs upfront, and cleaning up after a clearance — that’s our edge in Newington.
Recent blocked drain & jetting work in Newington
Example 1
A Drain Unblocking callout in Newington started when the downstairs WC backed up whenever the upstairs bath emptied — a classic main line restriction.
Tracing manholes upstream proved the blockage sat in the shared run; we coordinated access, cleared, and left a short clip for the landlord cluster.
Result: Drains ran freely on test; they were pleased we’d proved the cause instead of another “quick rod”.
Example 2
We recently completed Drain Unblocking in Newington after a kitchen sink kept blocking every few weeks despite plunging and chemicals.

Jetting needs the right nozzle and pressure for the pipe material; CCTV needs cleanish pipe to see. Our engineers combine both on Newington jobs and out toward Edinburgh, Marchmont, and Morningside so you’re not paying for the wrong pass.
What you can expect
Soakaways and yard drains can masquerade as blocked mains — we trace from the lowest gully so you’re not paying for the wrong clearance. Honest drain unblocking in Newington starts with the right diagnosis. For blocked drains and drainage in Newington, you want engineers who answer the phone and stand behind the clearance. That’s what we deliver.
Main drains & manholes in Newington
Blocked drain callouts in Newington are routine for us. We clear properly, then camera the line if repeats suggest a dip, roots or a defect. Same-day and next-day slots are available for emergencies — sinks, WCs, yard gullies and main drains.
Where the cause isn't obvious, we'll run a CCTV survey to pinpoint the problem, then clear it properly. You get a fix that lasts, not a quick clear that fails again. We offer fixed-price quotes where possible and no nasty surprises.
Common questions in Newington
- Do you cover all of Newington, not just the centre?
- Yes — we work across Newington 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, Marchmont, Morningside.
- 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, Marchmont, Morningside.
- Do you use CCTV on drains in Newington?
- 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, Marchmont, Morningside.
- 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, Marchmont, Morningside.
Typical work we see in Newington
- Older clay and shared runs in Newington — 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.
