Blocked Drains, Toilets & Sinks Northampton

Kitchen drains — accumulated fat and grease. Bathroom drains — hair and soap buildup. Outdoor drains — leaves, silt, and root intrusion. Toilets — wet wipes (even 'flushable' ones), sanitary products, and excess toilet paper.

Minor sink blockages can sometimes be cleared with a plunger or drain cleaner. If water isn't moving at all, or the problem keeps recurring, it's usually a more serious blockage further down the line — that needs professional tools.

If the blockage is in a public sewer, it's the responsibility of Anglian Water, not the homeowner. We can identify where responsibility lies and advise you accordingly.

Yes — for stubborn or recurring blockages in underground drains. Jetting is also the most effective way to remove root intrusion and mineral scale buildup.

Simple blockages in toilets, sinks, and baths start from £85. Outdoor underground drains requiring high-pressure jetting range from £150–£250. We quote a fixed price on arrival — what we quote is what you pay, with no call-out fee.

In kitchens: never pour fat, oil, or grease down the drain — collect it in a container and bin it. In bathrooms: fit a hair catcher over the plug hole. Outside: keep drains clear of leaves and have trees near your drain runs inspected periodically for root intrusion.

Anglian Water is responsible for shared sewers in Northamptonshire. You are responsible for the private drain connecting your property to the sewer. If only your property is affected, it's usually your private drain. If neighbouring properties are also blocked, it may be a shared sewer — report to Anglian Water.
