“Absolutely superb! Adie and his son were with us within two hours of me ringing, and despite our remote location he had our drains unblocked in no time. He was really helpful and informative so I understood exactly what the problem was and how to reduce the chances of it happening again, and all for a really reasonable price. Couldn't be happier with service and wouldn't hesitate to recommend..”
“Adie and his son were so helpful and professional. They explained everything during the CCTV survey of the drains and even got a quote for me for something they weren't able to carry out themselves. I couldn't recommend them enough.”
“Adie from Drainaway came out to our home at very short notice, to unblock 2 internal drains and also to assess our external drainage. He was very informative and explained how our drainage system worked and where the issues were. He was clear in explaining things in a way that meant we can maintain the drains ourselves in future, rather than continuously paying for call outs. We were very impressed with the service and would highly recommend.”
“Great service . Went above and beyond to help my mum and sister out at a very difficult time. Came quickly and spent a lot of time making sure job done to high standard . Great couple of lads and very reasonable price.”
What you can do to help your drains
Autumn leaves look nice — until they end up in your drains and gutters.
Wet leaves, twigs, and moss form the perfect blockage cocktail.
Once blocked, rainwater has nowhere to go except into your walls, garden, or drive.
Drainaway Tip : Get your gutters and downpipes cleaned before winter. Our gutter vac system removes blockages safely from the ground — no ladders, no mess, no stress.
When water freezes, it expands.
That means any standing water in outdoor pipes, gullies, or traps can crack plastic, burst joints, and cause leaks.
Drainaway Tip : Insulate exposed pipes, especially if you’ve got outdoor taps or drainage near open ground. A bit of lagging now can save a fortune later.
Winter comfort food might be delicious, but all that leftover oil, gravy, and fat can wreak havoc on your drains.
When it cools, it hardens — and that’s how mini fatbergs are born.
Drainaway Tip : Wipe pans and plates before washing up, and pour oil into a container for the bin. Your pipes will thank you.
If your sink or shower’s already draining slowly, don’t wait until it’s freezing outside to deal with it.
Cold weather makes existing blockages worse and harder to clear.
Drainaway Tip : A quick CCTV drain survey can spot the cause without any digging — perfect for preventing surprises later.
Storms and frost can shift or crack covers, letting debris (and even rats!) into your system.
Loose covers also let cold air in, which speeds up freezing.
Drainaway Tip : Give your covers a quick look-over — if they’re damaged or loose, Drainaway can replace or reseat them properly.
Think of it as an MOT for your pipes.
Our professional inspection and jet-clean service keeps everything running smoothly through the cold months — no floods, no smells, no stress.
Drainaway Tip : Book your check before temperatures drop below freezing — prevention is always cheaper than repair.
