How Much Does It Cost to Unblock a Drain in East London?
At FS, we're fully transparent with our clients when it comes to the cost of unblocking their drains. Our fee for unblocking drains in East London is £X. That said, this fee is only applicable to call outs between 8 AM and 6 PM, Monday to Sunday. If you require emergency drain unblocking in East London outside of these hours, we can make it happen, but you'll be charged extra.
If you have a drainage case that can't wait till the morning, please get in touch with us either by calling us on 0800 689 3497 or e-mailing us at info@fsdrainage.com. Once we find out more about your problem, we'll send you a free, no-obligation quote. And if you're happy with the quote, following the confirmation of the job, we'll aim to be at your property within 120 minutes.
Is the Council Responsible for Blocked Drains?
If you own your property and the drain blockage is located on the premises of your property (commercial or residential), the council will not be responsible for your blocked drains. This means that you'll have to find a company and pay them to deal with your blocked drains in East London.
That said, there are some cases when the council may be responsible for your drainage issues. For instance, if you live in a council property or if you suspect that the issue is coming from the wider drainage system, then the council can be held responsible.
Whatever the case might be, it's always worth reaching out to them with all the details, and they'll be able to give you a better and more accurate answer to this question.
Is a Blocked Drain an Urgent Situation?
That depends on the type of drain block we're talking about. If the sink in your kitchen is blocked, although it can be inconvenient, it's not necessarily an emergency. That said, if you can't flush your toilet or get sewer backups, those can be scenarios that will need to be dealt with immediately.
Taking action on such drainage issues right away will not only resolve them sooner, but it will also be cheaper, as you won't risk damaging your drainage system further, which can be expensive to address. If you're not sure whether your case of drain blockage is an urgent matter, please call us at

Can I Clear a Blocked Drain Myself?
While you may successfully unblock a blocked sink or fix your blocked toilet, we don't recommend that you attempt it, as it can only make your drainage problems worse. Over the years, we've dealt with many cases in East London that have gotten worse as a result of DIY attempts at unblocking drains. Some even required drain repairs, which aren't the cheapest.
So, to save yourself a lot of effort and avoid the risk of causing further damage, take advantage of our drainage services and let our engineers deal with your blocked drains.
How Can I Identify the Cause of a Blocked Drain?
If your kitchen sink is blocked, in some cases, identifying the issue can be as easy as checking the pipes beneath the sink. However, in more complex cases where the problem lies beneath the ground, CCTV drain surveys will need to be carried out.
While you can confirm the former yourself by checking the pipes beneath the sink, the latter must be carried out by a company that offers a professional drain cleaning service in East London.
What Happens if I Don’t Fix a Blocked Drain?
There are many things that can happen if you ignore your drainage issues. Some examples include:
- Damage to the pipework
- Sewage backup
- Damage to the structural integrity of your property
- You may end up putting your health at risk
To avoid any of the above, when you notice any drain problems, it's best to reach out to a professional drain clearance service provider as soon as possible. Having dealt with hundreds of drain blockages over the years, we can confidently say that addressing drain issues early is going to be much cheaper than waiting until your drains need to be repaired.
