What we can sort out for you in Bournemouth

If the drainage problem is urgent, you need to know straight away whether we cover it. We do.

  • The same blockage coming back on a pitch-fibre run out at Kinson or West Howe
  • Outside gullies and channels surcharging after a heavy seaside downpour
  • Roots in the old villa clay around Winton and Boscombe
  • A toilet that backs up or empties slowly
  • Sink, bath and shower wastes that have stopped draining away
  • Drain smells drifting up from one stretch of the run
  • A cracked or dropped pipe that keeps catching waste
  • Urgent flooding at a home, shop or seafront business that cannot wait

If the issue is backing up, flooding, or keeps coming back, we can inspect it, explain the cause, and carry out the right clearance or repair work.

What we can do once we know what's wrong with your drain

A slow sink and a collapsed pipe are not the same job. Some we jet clear in twenty minutes. Others need a camera down first. Either way, we handle the next step ourselves and never sub it out.

Drain Clearing & Unblocking

Blocked loo, sink waste or a gully overflowing onto the path? We clear it with the jet or rods, whichever the run needs, then check the line holds. Most BH jobs are sorted in one visit.

CCTV Drain Surveys

Out on the Kinson and West Howe estates the pitch-fibre pipe goes oval and the same drain keeps blocking. We put a camera down to find why, and you get the footage with each fault marked so you are not paying to guess.

Drain Repairs

On Bournemouth’s sandy ground a cracked joint washes out fast and the run loses its fall. We dig down to that one length, patch or replace it, and put the surface back, not the whole drive.

Drain Lining & Patching

Two pipe types fail round here: the Victorian clay under the Winton and Boscombe villas, and the pitch-fibre on the Kinson and West Howe estates. A resin liner cures inside both, so the path or forecourt stays put. One bad joint gets a patch, a worn run gets a full liner. Ten-year guarantee.

Root Removal

Mature trees near the chines and the older Winton gardens send roots into any clay joint that has opened up. Cutting them back is half the job. We camera the entry point and line that joint, or they grow straight back in.

Drain Installation / Groundwork

New connections for an extension, a rebuilt run where the old pitch-fibre has given up, or fresh drainage when a Bournemouth villa is converted to flats. We dig it in, set the chambers, then flow-test before sign-off.

Soakaway installations

Bournemouth sits on free-draining sand, which is good news for a soakaway. It still has to be dug deep enough and sized for your roof and hard standing. We dig a test pit first, check how fast it takes water, then build it to match.

Pre-Planned Drainage Maintenance

Seafront cafes, the HMOs round Winton and Boscombe and managed blocks across the BH postcodes all do better on a schedule than a call-out. We jet and camera-check on a set round, so a tired pitch-fibre joint shows up before it backs up a full property.

Why Choose us

Why people in Bournemouth call us back

We work the BH postcodes week in, week out, so we usually know what we are dealing with before the cover comes up. Homeowners, landlords, holiday lets and managed sites call us back for one reason. We find out why a drain failed instead of clearing the same blockage twice.

On a recurring drain we put a camera down before we quote. You pay to fix the worn joint or the roots, not to clear the same blockage twice.

  • We camera every recurring drain before we quote
  • City & Guilds water-jetting engineers, on 24 hours a day across the BH postcodes
  • You hear the price before a drain cover comes up, with nothing added after
  • Clearing, CCTV, lining and groundwork all handled in-house, not subbed out
  • 10-year guarantee on our no-dig lining and repair work
  • We know the local ground and where Wessex Water takes over from your private drain

HOW IT WORKS

What happens from your first call to the drain running clear

Call or send a photo, we tell you whether it is urgent and book you in, then inspect, quote and carry out the work in that order.

Call or send details

Ring us or text a photo of the drain. We will say whether it is an emergency or can wait, and book a slot to suit a let changeover if that is the issue.

Inspect the drain

We get on site and find the cause. A quick rod and jet for a one-off, or a camera down the line when the same drain keeps backing up.

Explain the issue and quote clearly

We show you what we found and price the actual job. If the fault sits on Wessex Water’s side of your boundary, we tell you that too, before you pay for anything.

Clear, repair, or carry out the next step

We do the agreed work and run the camera back through where it counts, so the let is ready for guests and you are not calling us out again next month.

What causes most blocked drains in Bournemouth

Most repeat blockages here come down to the age of the pipe. The Victorian and Edwardian villas around Springbourne, Winton, Boscombe and Pokesdown were laid in salt-glazed clay. After a century the joints have opened and roots have got in. On Bournemouth’s loose, sandy ground a cracked joint quickly silts up and loses its fall. The drain blocks again weeks after a quick rod-through.

The post-war estates at Kinson, West Howe and Ensbury Park (BH10 and BH11) were run in pitch-fibre pipe. It is past its life now. The pipe blisters, goes oval and collapses inward, and waste catches on the lip and backs up.

We cover BH1 to BH11. We put a camera down first, then line the pipe with no-dig where it will take it, so the drive or path stays put. The public sewers belong to Wessex Water. We tell you whether the fault is on your private drain or their main before any work starts (Ofwat sets out who owns which pipes).

Bournemouth Drainage FAQs

Answers to common questions about blocked drains, drain unblocking, CCTV surveys, repairs, and emergency drainage call-outs in Bournemouth.

Do you offer emergency drain unblocking in Bournemouth?
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency drain unblocking across Bournemouth for urgent issues such as overflowing drains, backed-up toilets, blocked external drains, and drainage problems that cannot wait. Our engineers aim to respond quickly, identify the cause properly, and carry out the right work to restore flow as soon as possible.
How quickly can you get to a blocked drain in Bournemouth?
For an emergency in the BH postcodes we prioritise getting to you as quickly as we can, and if you are flooding internally we treat it as the priority job that day.
Can you unblock drains in Bournemouth the same day?
Usually, yes. Most blocked sinks, toilets, gullies and outside drains in Bournemouth we clear the same day we get the call. We inspect the drain, tell you what is causing it, and clear it on the same visit where the job allows.
What types of drainage problems do you deal with?
We deal with blocked drains, blocked toilets, slow sinks and showers, overflowing gullies, bad smells from drains, recurring blockages, root ingress, and damaged pipework. We also handle wider drainage problems where the issue needs CCTV inspection, repair work, or follow-up maintenance rather than simple blockage clearance alone.
Do you only clear blocked drains, or can you repair them too?
We do more than drain unblocking. Alongside blockage clearance, we provide CCTV drain surveys, drain repairs, drain lining and patching, root removal, soakaway work, and other drainage services. If a blockage is being caused by damaged pipework rather than a simple build-up, we can identify the real issue and recommend the right repair instead of only treating the symptom.
Do you charge a call-out fee in Bournemouth?
We explain the cost before any work starts, so you know what is included before the job goes ahead. We assess the problem, explain the condition of the drain and tell you the right next step. No vague pricing, no surprise extras.
Do you handle both residential and commercial drainage?
Yes. We work on domestic and commercial drainage systems across Bournemouth, including homes, rental properties, shops, restaurants, offices, and managed sites. Whether you need urgent drain unblocking, a CCTV inspection, or follow-up repair work, we provide practical drainage support for both one-off issues and ongoing maintenance needs.
When do I need a CCTV drain survey?
A CCTV drain survey is useful when blockages keep returning, the cause is unclear, bad smells persist, or there may be cracked, displaced, or damaged pipework. It is also useful when buying or selling a property, or when you need a clearer view of the drainage system before deciding on repairs. You can read more with our CCTV drainage surveys.
Can you clear tree roots and heavy blockages?
Yes. We use specialist equipment including high-pressure jetting and root cutting tools to remove roots, clear heavy blockages, and restore drainage flow. If roots have entered the pipe through cracks or damaged joints, we can also inspect the condition of the drain and advise whether further repair or lining work is needed to help stop the problem returning.
Do you help with drainage insurance claims?
Yes. If drainage damage may need to be reported, we can provide inspection findings, images, video footage, and itemised details to support the next step. This can be useful where a CCTV survey has identified cracked pipework, root ingress, collapsed sections, or other drainage defects that may need to be reviewed as part of a claim.
What are the signs of a blocked drain?
Common signs include slow-draining sinks or showers, toilets that rise or struggle to flush, bad smells from plugholes or outside drains, gurgling pipework, and water backing up where it should not. These problems often start small before becoming a more serious blockage, so it is usually best to deal with them early before they lead to overflow, disruption, or more extensive drainage repairs.
How does drain unblocking work?
Drain unblocking starts with identifying where the problem is and what is causing it. Our Bournemouth engineers use professional equipment such as high-pressure water jetting and CCTV drain cameras to locate the blockage, clear it safely, and check whether there is a deeper issue such as root ingress, damaged pipework, or a partial collapse. Once the cause is clear, we explain the condition of the drain and recommend the right next step.
What areas do you cover near Bournemouth?
We cover Bournemouth and nearby areas including Poole, Christchurch, and wider parts of Dorset. We also cover surrounding locations further across the region, including Southampton, Dorchester, Weymouth, and Salisbury, with wider coverage across parts of Hampshire and Wiltshire. If you are just outside Bournemouth and need urgent drainage help, call us anyway and we will tell you straight away whether we can get to you.

A recent job: a let property backing up onto the neighbour's drive

A landlord in BH3 called when wastewater from a let property surfaced on the neighbour’s drive. We put a camera down the shared run and found the cause: old clay pipe with displaced joints, then a stretch packed with debris where the line had partly collapsed.

We jetted the run clear, dug down to the failed section, patch-lined it and reinstated the surface. The shared drain was running before we left. We handed over the camera footage and a written record for the landlord and the neighbour. If your drain is shared with next door, we tell you where your responsibility ends and Wessex Water’s begins before we quote.

Excavating the failed clay junction and tying it into a new chamber on a Bournemouth shared run.

On a dig like this one the camera survey tells us exactly where to break ground, so we open one hole rather than the whole drive. The cracked clay junction comes out, the new run is bedded and connected to a fresh chamber, then the surface goes back. You get the footage and a written record of what was changed and why.

What it costs, and how we price it

Pricing follows the fault, so a rod-through and a collapsed run never cost the same. Send a photo or let us get a camera on it, and the figure we give you is the figure on the invoice. If part of the job sits on Wessex Water’s main rather than your private drain, we flag that before you spend anything.

The quote is free and there is no obligation to book the work.

Work that is guaranteed

Our no-dig lining and repair work carries a 10-year guarantee. We are fully insured for public liability, and our engineers hold City & Guilds water-jetting tickets.

What you get when you call us

One drain, one teamThe same engineers clear it, camera it, line it and dig it if it comes to that. Nothing gets handed to a subcontractor halfway through.
Built around your letsWe work to changeover dates and guest bookings, so a survey or repair lands when the property is empty, not when it is full.
The right fix for the groundSandy soil, old villa clay, estate pitch-fibre: we have repaired all of it across the BH postcodes and pick the method that lasts here, not a one-size patch.
