Drainage Specialists - West Midlands, Warwickshire & Worcestershire

Drain Unblocking From £80

Fast, fixed-price drain unblocking with no call-out fee. Our engineers carry manual rodding and 3,000 PSI jetting equipment, and most blockages are cleared within 1-2 hours.

Blocked Drains Cleared Fast, Across Three Counties

We provide professional drain unblocking services across the West Midlands, Warwickshire, and Worcestershire. With offices in Birmingham and Solihull, we reach most locations within the hour.

Manual Unblocking with Rodding

When removing soft blockages in your pipework (fat build-up, toilet paper accumulations, soap scum, and food waste), our engineers can clear your blockages manually with rodding. Using professional drain rods with a range of attachments, they physically break up and push through the obstruction. It is the fastest method for straightforward blockages and is included in our standard fixed-price service.

All our rod unblocks include a complimentary CCTV camera check afterwards to make sure the root cause of the blockage is not going to cause you further problems. This is not an upsell, we do it because finding the root cause prevents you paying for another call-out in three months. If we spot cracked joints, root ingress, or a displaced pipe, we will advise you honestly on whether a repair is needed.

High-Pressure Water Jetting Unblocking

Sometimes plunging or rodding a blockage will not clear or budge it. Our engineers are equipped with 3,000 PSI high-pressure water jetting equipment and a variety of attachments to clear stubborn blockages, including hard-packed fat and grease, tree roots blocking the line, scale deposits, or years of accumulated debris. The high-pressure water stream cuts through the toughest obstructions whilst simultaneously cleaning the pipelines, removing fat deposits and scale.

Once the line has been cleared, our engineers will put their CCTV camera down the line to make sure there will be no repeat blockages and quote for any repair work required.

Jetting is particularly effective in areas like Birmingham and Coventry, where Victorian clay pipes accumulate mineral deposits over decades. We carry multiple jetting nozzles, forward-firing for blockage penetration and rear-firing for pipe cleaning.

Why Drains Block Across the West Midlands

Victorian & Edwardian Pipes

Across Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Coventry, thousands of properties still rely on salt-glazed clay pipes laid over a century ago. These pipes are robust but their joints deteriorate over time, allowing tree roots to penetrate and soil to wash in.

Heavy Clay Soil

The Mercia Mudstone that underlies most of our service area is a heavy clay that shrinks in dry summers and swells in wet winters. This seasonal movement puts immense pressure on underground pipes, displacing joints in Solihull, Bromsgrove, and right across the region.

Tree Root Ingress

Mature street trees and established gardens are everywhere from Warwick to Dudley. Tree roots actively seek out moisture from drain joints, forcing their way in and creating a web of roots that catches debris and causes persistent blockages.

Toilet, Sink, Bath & Shower Unblocking

If there is a single facility in your home that is causing drainage issues, we can assist and clear the blockage. Kitchen and bathroom facility blockages are not pleasant to try and tackle yourself.

At Cofton Drainage & Jetting Services, we have the know-how and the equipment to sort these unwanted issues quickly. From manual tools to high-pressure water jetting, we will get your facility flowing in no time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does drain unblocking cost?

Our drain unblocking services start from £80 with no call-out fee. Final cost depends on the severity of the blockage and the method required. We always provide a transparent price before beginning work, no hidden charges, no surprises.

What methods do you use to unblock drains?

We use manual rodding for soft blockages and 3,000 PSI high-pressure water jetting for stubborn or hard-packed obstructions. Every unblock includes a complimentary CCTV camera check to ensure the root cause is identified and nothing else lurks further down the line.

Yes, same-day service is available across our entire coverage area. For emergency situations such as sewage backing up or drains flooding, we aim to be with you within the hour. Call us any time, day or night.

What causes drains to block?

The most common causes are fat, oil, and grease build-up, tree root ingress through damaged pipe joints, foreign objects, hair and soap scum, and collapsed or displaced pipes. Older clay pipes are particularly susceptible in areas with heavy clay soil like the West Midlands.
