More Than A Plunger Job
Anyone can plunge a toilet for a quick fix. We do something different: we find out why it blocked, clear it properly, and CCTV the line to make sure there’s no underlying problem (a partial collapse, root ingress, or stuck wipes wedged further down).
That’s why our customers don’t call us a second time for the same toilet. One visit, one fixed price, one proper fix.

Why Your Toilet Has Blocked
Wet Wipes
Marketed as 'flushable' — they're not. Tangle with hair and grease into solid plugs.
Foreign Object
Toy, phone, toothbrush, sanitary product. Half our toilet jobs find one of these.
Root Ingress
Common in older Reading homes. Tree roots break into the line and trap waste.
Pipe Collapse
Older clay pipes crack and partially collapse. Toilet flushes, then backs up.
What Reading Customers Say After A Toilet Unblock
Patrick D. — Reading
"Toilet completely blocked at 11pm with the in-laws staying. Engineer arrived in 50 minutes, cleared it, and didn't make a fuss about the time. Brilliant service."
Mariam K. — Reading
"Both upstairs toilets blocked at the same time. Turned out it was a shared waste line further down. They CCTV'd it, found a wet wipe blockage, jetted it clear. Sorted in two hours."
Joe & Lisa H. — Reading
"Recurring toilet blockages every few weeks. Other companies kept clearing it and leaving. Drainage Reading actually CCTV'd it and found roots in the line — quoted us a proper repair, problem gone."
Hannah B. — Reading
"Toilet overflowing into the bathroom carpet. They came out within 40 minutes, cleared it, helped us mop up, fair fixed price for the whole thing."
