Blocked drain? Here is what happens

A blocked drain needs someone who will turn up, find the blockage and clear it properly, not just get the water moving for a day. Norfolk Drainage is run by Tom Gamman, who has been clearing drains for more than 30 years. There are two engineers on the van for every job.

  • With children at home and only one toilet, other firms were talking about a six-hour wait. Tom was with us within the hour, had it clear in around half an hour, and there was no call-out fee and nothing hidden on the bill.

  • Our guest house has twelve bathrooms, so the drains get a lot of use. Tom took on a really awkward soil stack, kept me in the loop throughout and had it running freely in under two hours.

  • Our main drain blocked soon after a new patio went down. The camera showed the pipes had come apart, so the team lifted part of the patio, laid new pipe and put it all back within two days. You can’t see where they dug, and their photos and paperwork got the repair covered by our insurer.

  • Roots had choked our drain and it flooded. They came out fast to stop it, then were back early the next day to dig out and replace the damaged part, showing me each stage as they went.

  • We had just moved in and found a badly blocked drain once the washing machine was plumbed in. Tom was polite and quick, talked me through every step, checked the rest of the drains and even cleaned the covers so they lift easily now.

  • The drains at our local village hall were giving trouble. Two engineers came the same day, were thoroughly professional and had it sorted in no time.

Blocked drains in Norfolk: common questions

Straight answers on call-out times, prices, nights and weekends, and whose drain it is.

How quickly can you get to a blocked drain in Norfolk?

We aim to reach you within the hour wherever we can, day or night. When you ring, we tell you roughly when to expect us, so you are not left guessing. The time depends on where you are in the county and what we are already working on.

Do you charge a call-out fee?

No. Coming out costs you nothing, at any hour. Once we have seen the drain we give you a price, and the work only goes ahead if you agree to it.

Do you unblock drains at night and at weekends?

Yes. The phone is answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and evenings, Saturdays and Sundays are normal working time for us.

Is a blocked drain my problem or Anglian Water’s?

As a rule, a drain that serves only your home and lies within your boundary is yours to look after. Once it connects with a pipe that also serves next door, or crosses your boundary, it normally belongs to the water company, which for most of Norfolk means Anglian Water. If you are unsure where the blockage is, we can find it and tell you.

How long does it take to unblock a drain?

A simple blockage is often cleared well within the hour once we are on site; customers mention jobs done in around half an hour. Awkward ones take longer, such as a guest house soil stack that took just under two hours. If the pipe itself is damaged, we show you and talk you through the options.

What is high pressure drain jetting?

A jetting machine pushes water through a hose and nozzle at high pressure. The jets pull the nozzle along the pipe and scour the inside as they go, washing out fat, scale, silt and what is left of a blockage. We use it both to clear drains and to clean them afterwards.

Why does my drain keep blocking?

Repeat blockages usually mean something in the pipe is catching waste: roots, a cracked or sunken section, or a joint that has pulled apart. A camera survey shows what is going on, and we can carry out the repair too. For one customer, the camera found pipes that had parted under a new patio, so we replaced the run and relaid the patio over it.
