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.
High-pressure water jetting clears most soft blockages and root ingress where it’s safe for the pipework; tougher collapses may need repair or lining. Our engineers cover Edinburgh and Leith and Morningside for manhole repairs with the right nozzles and safety setup — not a one-size-fits-all rod job. Competitive area: we win jobs by turning up when we say, explaining costs upfront, and guaranteeing our workmanship — that’s our edge in Edinburgh. 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
Our team attended Manhole repair in Edinburgh for a pre-purchase survey — the buyer wanted eyes in the ground before exchange.
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: Insurance had the footage they needed; we were booked for the recommended repair slot the same week.
Example 2
A Manhole repair callout in Edinburgh started when the downstairs WC backed up whenever the upstairs bath emptied — a classic main line restriction.
The survey recorded offsets and material changes for the buyer — no drama, but evidence they could negotiate with — plus a clean bill on the section under the house.
Result: The café avoided a weekend closure — we worked out of hours and left the yard spotless.
Example 3
A homeowner booked Manhole repair in Edinburgh after sewage smell in the pavement — shared drain responsibility was unclear.
Camera footage showed a displaced joint catching wipes; we cleared, quoted lining vs dig, and carried out a localised repair with minimal excavation.
Result: Shared-drain letters went to the right parties — no more argument about who paid for the shared length.
Smells and slow stacks often tie back to venting or partial blocks — we test logically. Regular manhole repairs work in Edinburgh and Leith, Morningside, and Corstorphine means fewer “mystery” callbacks after the first visit.
What you can expect
CCTV drain surveys from us include watchable footage and notes you can forward — useful for purchases and insurance. Drain work in Edinburgh should be transparent, not a black hole in the invoice. For manhole repairs in Edinburgh, you want a team that answers the phone and stands behind the job. That’s what we deliver.
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.

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.
