Blocked Drains & Drainage

Blocked drains sorted properly, wherever you are.

Talk to the engineer who's actually coming out, not a call centre. Network Drains clears the blockage and tells you the cause — not just the symptom.

What we do

Drainage services, wherever you're based

Why people call us back

No call centre, no chemical guesswork, no vague quotes.

Speak to the engineer

The person you call is the person who turns up — no call centre in between.

Cost discussed upfront

You'll know roughly what a job costs before we attend, not after.

The cause, not just the clearance

CCTV checks find why a drain keeps blocking, so you're not calling us back out.

Honest on who pays

We'll tell you straight if a blockage is United Utilities' responsibility, not ours.

Worth knowing

Not every blocked drain is yours to pay for.

Since October 2011, many previously private shared drains and sewers across England and Wales transferred to the local water company. If your blockage is on a transferred section, it isn't your bill to pay.

Questions people ask before calling

Good to know

How much will it cost?

It depends on the job — a simple internal blockage costs less than an outside drain run needing jetting. We always talk you through the likely cost before attending, not after.

Is my blocked drain my responsibility, or United Utilities'?

It depends where the blockage is. Many shared drains transferred to United Utilities in 2011 — we'll check and tell you honestly which applies. See our full guide.

How quickly can you get to me?

We prioritise genuine emergencies and give you a realistic timeframe on the phone rather than a vague promise.

Do you cover my area?

We're growing city by city — see our areas we cover page for exactly where, and if you're just outside it, call anyway.

My drain keeps blocking in the same place — why?

Usually root intrusion, a settled pipe, or grease build-up narrowing the pipe. A CCTV survey shows exactly which, rather than guessing.
