Frequently asked
How much does it cost to unblock a drain in Haverhill?
It depends on the job. Email us a description (and a photo if you have one) and we'll come back with a price before anything is booked.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
No. If we turn up and it's not a job you need doing, or it turns out to be Anglian Water's pipe, there's nothing to pay.
Who is responsible for a blocked drain — me or the water company?
It depends where the blockage is. Anything inside your boundary serving only your house is yours; shared drains and anything past your boundary are usually Anglian Water's. Use our guide to check.
How quickly can you get to me?
Most Haverhill and village callouts are reached within one to two hours, sooner for genuine emergencies.
Do you cover properties on septic tanks?
Yes. A lot of the villages around Haverhill are off mains drainage. We empty, test and repair septic tanks and treatment plants as well as mains-connected drains.
