Drain unblocking in York for sinks, toilets and outside drains
A sink or toilet backing up, a slow outside drain or an overflow? Tell us what is affected and give us your York postcode. We handle drain unblocking for homes, landlords and businesses, with the proposed work and quote confirmed before we start.
Clear the immediate blockage
We assess the blockage and available access before choosing a clearance method. Jetting can remove suitable grease, sludge and debris; you do not need to book jetting separately before discussing the problem with us. If water is backing up now, call to confirm current availability.
Has the drain blocked before?
Let us know when it was last cleared and how quickly the problem returned. Cleaning does not repair a damaged pipe. A CCTV survey may help identify roots or a visible defect in accessible pipework; we explain any suggested investigation or repair before you agree to further work.
What to tell us when you call or request a quote
- Your York postcode and whether the blockage is inside, outside or affecting several fixtures.
- Whether water is overflowing, and any recent clearance work or drain-cleaning products used.
- Access restrictions and who can authorise the work at a rented or managed property.
Drain unblocking starts from £85, no VAT. This is a starting price, not a fixed quote for every blockage. Surveys, root removal and repairs are separate work and need their own agreed scope. Call for current availability or request a free quote with your postcode and a description of the problem.

Frequently asked questions
What should I do if my drain or toilet is overflowing?
Stop using the affected fixtures, keep people away from wastewater and avoid adding chemical drain cleaners. Call 01904 213 016 to describe the problem and confirm current availability. Our blocked-drain advice explains safe first steps.
Do you provide emergency drain unblocking in York?
We handle emergency drain-unblocking enquiries 24 hours a day in York and the surrounding area. Tell us your postcode, which fixtures are affected and whether water is overflowing so we can confirm availability.
What happens during drain unblocking?
We assess the symptoms and access, choose a suitable clearance method and check whether flow has improved. If we find signs of an underlying defect, we explain any recommended inspection or repair before additional work.
Why does my drain keep blocking?
Repeat blockages can be linked to grease, accumulated debris, root intrusion or damaged pipework. Drain jetting can remove build-up; a CCTV drain survey can help identify a defect that cleaning alone will not solve.
How much does drain unblocking cost?
The quote depends on the blockage, access and work required. Tell us what is affected and your postcode; we will confirm a quote before starting and discuss any additional inspection or repair separately.
