Local Drain Unblocking & Clearance

Blocked drains can quickly become a messy and inconvenient problem if they’re not dealt with properly. Whether it’s a slow-draining sink, an overflowing outside drain, a blocked toilet or unpleasant smells coming from your drainage system, Precision Property Works provides practical and reliable drain clearance.

We provide drain unblocking and clearance for homes, rental properties and commercial premises across Leicestershire and Derbyshire. We deal with blocked sinks, toilets, waste pipes, gullies and outside drains, restoring proper flow as quickly and safely as possible.

Where the cause of the problem isn’t obvious, or the blockage keeps returning, we can also carry out CCTV drain surveys to inspect the pipework and identify hidden damage or recurring issues.

Where possible, we’ll explain what has caused the problem and advise on the most practical way to reduce the chance of it happening again.

Common Drain Problems We Fix

We help homes and businesses across Leicestershire and Derbyshire resolve common drainage blockages quickly and safely.

Blocked Sinks

Kitchen and bathroom sinks that are draining slowly or completely blocked due to grease, food waste or soap build-up.

Blocked Toilets

Toilets that won’t flush properly or repeatedly back up due to waste pipe blockages or drainage restrictions.

Blocked Outside Drains

Outdoor drains and gullies that are overflowing or backing up due to leaves, debris, silt or drainage build-up.

Slow Drainage

Sinks, baths or drains that empty slowly, often caused by partial blockages building up inside waste pipes.

How We Clear It

Three methods, because no single one shifts everything

Rodding

Manual rods, which deal with a lot of everyday blockages quickly and without fuss. Often all that is needed.

High-Pressure Jetting

For what rods will not shift. Jetting cuts through fat, silt and root ingress that rodding tends to push past rather than remove.

Wall-to-Wall Machine Cleaning

For build-up on the pipe walls themselves. Cleans the bore back out rather than punching a hole through the middle of it and calling it done.

When It Will Not Clear

Some drains will not clear because the pipe itself is cracked, collapsed or full of roots. If that is what we find, we stop and tell you rather than keep working at it — and a camera shows exactly what is wrong. Where a pipe needs repairing, we dig down and replace the damaged section.

Our Drain Clearance Process

A straightforward approach to diagnosing and clearing blocked drains.

  1. Step 1

    Assess the Drain Issue

    We inspect the affected drain or waste pipe to identify the likely cause of the blockage. Where needed, we can carry out a CCTV drain survey to check for hidden damage or recurring problems.

  2. Step 2

    Clear the Blockage

    Using the most suitable method, we remove the obstruction and restore proper flow through the drain or waste pipe.

  3. Step 3

    Check Drain Flow

    Once cleared, we run water through the system to ensure the drain is flowing freely and the blockage has been fully resolved.

  4. Step 4

    Advice & Prevention

    We explain what likely caused the blockage and provide advice on how to reduce the chances of it happening again.

I had Noah and Alex come to my house to sort out a blocked drain that had backed up and flooded my kitchen. After a 10 minute phone call, they were out within the hour. And after searching with a drain camera, the problem was quickly found and repaired within the hour. Couldn't fault them one bit, really friendly chaps! 10000% would recommend.

Blocked Drain Clearance — Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to clear a blocked drain?
Domestic clearance is £145 between 9am and 5pm, £195 between 5pm and 8pm, and £300 between 8pm and 8am, including VAT. Each covers the first 90 minutes on site, and most domestic blockages are cleared within that first visit. If a job runs longer it is charged by the hour at the rate for that time of day. Commercial work is priced separately.
What happens if the job takes more than 90 minutes?
It is charged by the hour after that, at £75 daytime, £105 evening and £145 overnight, including VAT. We will tell you on site before we go past the first 90 minutes, so the bill is never a surprise at the end.
Can my business reclaim the VAT?
If your business is VAT registered and the work is for the business, usually yes. Every invoice shows our VAT number with the VAT as a separate line, which is what you need to reclaim it. Landlords letting homes generally can't reclaim it, because residential rent is exempt from VAT. Your accountant can confirm for your situation.
What if the drain still will not clear?
Then the pipe itself is usually the problem — a collapsed section, a displaced joint, or roots that have grown in through it. We will tell you that rather than keep working and keep charging. A CCTV survey shows exactly what is wrong before anyone digs anything up, and if we are already on site it is £145.
Can you repair a broken drain?
Yes. If a drain is cracked, collapsed or has a displaced joint, we find the exact spot with a CCTV survey, dig down to it, replace the damaged section and make the ground good again. The survey means only the broken part needs opening up.
What's the difference between rodding and jetting?
Rods push through a blockage and clear a way for water to pass, which is enough for a lot of everyday problems. Jetting uses high-pressure water to cut through and flush out what is actually there — fat, silt and root ingress that rods tend to push past rather than remove. If a drain blocks again soon after being rodded, jetting is usually why it did not hold the first time.
How quickly can you clear a blocked drain?
Blocked drains tend to get worse the longer they're left, so we respond promptly and aim to get the blockage cleared before it causes further problems. Call 01530 441064 and we'll let you know the soonest we can get to you.
What kinds of blockages do you deal with?
Blocked sinks, blocked toilets, blocked outside drains and gullies, and slow drainage caused by partial blockages building up inside waste pipes. We work on homes, rental properties and commercial premises.
Is a blocked drain my responsibility or the water company’s?
Pipes that serve only your property and sit inside your boundary are yours. Shared pipes, and anything beyond your boundary, usually belong to Severn Trent, which looks after the sewers across our area. If it turns out to be theirs, we'll tell you, so you can report it to them.
What if the blockage keeps coming back?
If a blockage keeps returning, or the cause isn't obvious, we can carry out a CCTV drain survey to inspect the pipework and identify hidden damage, cracked pipes, displaced joints or root intrusion.
Will you make a mess?
No. We protect the surrounding surfaces, work cleanly, and leave the area tidy once the blockage has been cleared.
Do you tell me what caused the blockage?
Yes. Once the drain is running freely again we explain what most likely caused the problem and give practical advice on reducing the chance of it happening again.
Which areas do you cover for drain clearance?
We cover Leicestershire and Derbyshire, including Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Swadlincote, Coalville, Measham, Ibstock, Moira, Packington, Woodville and Church Gresley.

Blocked Drain Cleared in Measham

The customer called because the toilets and the sinks had both started draining slowly. When more than one fitting slows down at the same time, the problem is rarely any of them — it is usually something further along the run that everything drains into.

Broken Soil Pipe Repair and Rodent Proofing in Coalville

Mark got in touch after years of hearing rodents climbing the soil pipe. The pipe is boxed in and runs up through his living room and the bedroom above, so the noise carried through the house — though nothing ever got into the rooms themselves. Several pest control firms had been out over that time and none of them had stopped it. He asked us to put a camera down the drainage system and find out what was actually going on.
