My private drains are blocked. What can I do?


You can try to clear it yourself, but don't forget to take some simple health and safety precautions, such as attention to personal hygiene and care to avoid accidents with inspection covers and open chambers. If in doubt, ask friends and family to recommend a specialist contractor or builder. Always ask for a quote first.
