- On-site diagnosis of where and why the drain is blocked
- Mechanical clearance of the blockage using the right tool for the job
- A check of the wider run so the same spot doesn't block again next month
- A CCTV survey on the spot if the cause isn't obvious from the surface
Grayshott, Hindhead and Haslemere all share the same problem: older housing stock on clay subsoil, with drain runs laid decades before modern building standards existed. A slow-draining gully or a recurring smell from an outside chamber is usually the first sign, long before anything actually backs up indoors.

Blocked Drains FAQs
A gully that drains slowly, a bad smell from an outside chamber, or water backing up when the toilet flushes are the most common early signs. Catching it early usually means a quicker, simpler job.
It depends on the cause and how deep the blockage sits, so pricing is talked through on the phone before Roger travels out. There are no hidden extras added on site.
A drain rod or a kettle of hot water on a simple kitchen gully is fine to try. If it's an outside inspection chamber or the blockage keeps coming back, it's worth getting it looked at properly rather than masking the symptom.
A recurring blockage in one spot usually means something structural, a root, a collapsed section, or a badly angled joint, rather than a one-off. A CCTV survey pinpoints it instead of clearing the same spot repeatedly.
Yes, this is most of the work across Grayshott, Haslemere and Hindhead. Older clay pipe runs are common in this area and are handled regularly.
Mechanical rodding for most blockages, with a CCTV camera used where the cause isn't obvious, so the fix targets the actual problem rather than guessing.
It depends on how far the water has backed up. A slow gully can usually wait for a normal appointment, but a drain that's backing up into the house needs a faster response, which is worth mentioning when you call.
Yes, very commonly in this part of Surrey and Hampshire. Mature gardens and hedgerows near older clay pipe joints are one of the most frequent causes of a slow or recurring blockage.
Most blockages clear without any digging. Excavation is only needed for a structural repair, and that's only recommended once a CCTV survey has confirmed it's actually necessary.
Yes. If a blockage doesn't have an obvious surface cause, a CCTV survey on the same visit usually saves a second trip.
Roughly speaking, the pipework inside your boundary is yours; the public sewer beyond it is the water company's. A CCTV survey clarifies exactly where the problem sits if that's not obvious.
