We Clear The Cause — Not Just The Standing Water

Plenty of companies will plunge it once, take £80 and leave. Two weeks later you’re calling someone else for the same problem. We use mini CCTV and proper jetting kit to clear the actual cause — usually grease, food waste or a build-up further down the line — so it doesn’t come back next month.
Local engineer, fully equipped van, fixed price agreed before any work starts. No call-out fee, no upselling, no return visits.

What's Actually Blocking Your Kitchen Drain?

Grease & Fat Build-Up

Cooking oil cools and sets inside the pipe. The most common kitchen blockage in Reading by a mile.

Food Waste

Rice, pasta, coffee grounds and peelings expand and trap. Plungers won't shift them.

Blocked Trap

The U-bend under the sink fills with debris. We clear or replace it.

Waste Pipe Collapse

Older Reading homes especially. CCTV finds it, we quote a fix.

What Reading Customers Say After A Kitchen Unblock

Lauren M. — Reading

Kitchen sink completely blocked at 7pm with guests due in an hour. Engineer arrived in 40 minutes, cleared it before they sat down. Total lifesaver

Greg P. — Reading

Tried every supermarket drain unblocker for a week. Drainage Reading cleared the actual blockage (a wedge of fat) in fifteen minutes. Should have called them on day one.

Anita D. — Reading

Sunday night, sink overflowing into the cabinet. Booked online, fixed within two hours. Polite, no upselling, fair fixed price.

Mo S. — Reading

Both kitchen sinks blocked at the same time — turned out to be a shared waste pipe further along. They diagnosed properly with a camera and sorted it. Great work.

Why Reading Calls Us For Blocked Kitchen Drains

Blocked Kitchen Drain FAQs

How much to unblock a kitchen drain in Reading?

We aim to arrive within 60 minutes across Reading, and 90 minutes for outlying areas. When you call, we’ll give you a clear arrival time.

Can you come out tonight?

Yes — 24/7, including weekends and bank holidays. 60-minute average response across Reading.

Will my drain block again after you clear it?

Not if we clear the cause properly. We CCTV check after clearing to confirm the line is fully running and tell you what to avoid putting down it.

Can I just use a chemical drain cleaner instead?

For minor slow drains, sometimes. For full blockages, no — chemicals don’t shift grease plugs or solid food waste, and they damage older pipework.

Do I need to be home when you come?

Preferably yes, especially for the first visit so we can talk through what we find. If not, we can arrange access with a neighbour.

What if you can't clear it?

We always clear it or we don’t charge. If the issue is structural we give you a fixed quote for the repair separately.

Do you cover all of Reading?

Yes — every postcode in Reading and surrounding RG areas.
