Question 1

What should I do if I have a blocked drain?

Accepted Answer

Stop running water into the affected drain, avoid pouring chemical unblockers into severe blockages, and call a professional. A&B Drainage Solutions answers 24/7 on 01256 688 650 and typically reaches Hampshire addresses within the hour, with jetting, rodding, and CCTV equipment on every van.

Question 2

How much does drain unblocking cost?

Accepted Answer

Cost depends on the nature and severity of the blockage. Most domestic blockages are cleared at a straightforward call-out rate, and we always confirm any charges before starting work so there are no surprises. Call 01256 688 650 for a quote for your specific situation.

Question 3

What is a CCTV drain survey and when do I need one?

Accepted Answer

A CCTV drain survey is an internal HD camera inspection of your drains that shows their exact condition without any digging. You need one when buying a property, when blockages keep recurring, before building work near drain runs, or when an insurer requires evidence of drain condition. Our written reports are graded to WRc/MSCC5 standards and typically issued the same day.

Question 4

How quickly can you respond to an emergency drainage callout?

Accepted Answer

We typically arrive within 1 hour of your call across Hampshire, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year including weekends and bank holidays. Call 01256 688 650 at any hour and our team answers immediately.
