Drain Unblocking in Ludlow
Fast drain unblocking with high-pressure water jetting for blocked drains, toilets, gullies and soil stacks, at homes and businesses across Shropshire. Serving Ludlow and the surrounding villages, including Bromfield, Caynham, Ashford Carbonel, Clee Hill.
A blocked drain announces itself: toilets that will not clear, gullies backing up in the yard, that unmistakable smell. Most blockages are caused by the usual suspects, fat and grease, wipes, roots that have found a joint, or a pipe defect that has finally caught enough debris to close the bore.
Outside Ludlow itself, off-mains is simply how south Shropshire works. The Corvedale, the Clee slopes and the Teme valley are dotted with properties on private systems, many of them older installations that predate modern standards, and a good number still arranged in ways the 2020 rules no longer allow.
We clear blockages with high-pressure water jetting, which cuts through grease and roots and washes the debris away rather than just punching a hole through it, so the drain is properly clear rather than temporarily relieved. Rods still have their place for simple, close blockages, and we carry both.
Access and practicalities around Ludlow
The lanes here are proper south Shropshire lanes: high-banked, single-track and steep on the hill climbs. Clee Hill properties add altitude and exposure, and in winter access planning is part of the job. We know which routes a tanker can take and which it cannot.
What the service includes
- High-pressure water jetting of foul and surface water drains
- Blocked toilets, sinks, gullies, soil stacks and manholes
- Descaling and root cutting with the appropriate jetting heads

Drain Unblocking: common questions
How quickly can you get to a blocked drain?
Usually same day within our Shropshire coverage area, and we prioritise blockages causing internal flooding or affecting the only toilet in the house.
Is jetting safe for old pipes?
In experienced hands, yes. Pressure and jetting heads are chosen to suit the pipe material and condition, and older clay or pitch fibre lines are treated with appropriate care.
The drain blocks every few months. Is that normal?
No. A healthy drain should not block on a schedule. Repeat blockages almost always mean a defect or a root mass in the line, and a CCTV survey will show exactly what and where it is.
