Symptoms of a blockage that can't wait
A drain that's slow to empty can wait until tomorrow. These symptoms can't:
If you have any of the last three, don't reach for supermarket drain cleaner. Call us, send a photo on WhatsApp and we're on our way.
Why we don't use caustic soda
Caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) is what any hardware shop sells as a "quick drain cleaner". It's aggressive, cheap and seemingly effective. It's also the single biggest source of damage and complaints we deal with afterwards:

Our equipment, item by item
Ceramic piston pump, 60-metre reinforced hose with interchangeable heads. The primary tool for solidified grease, limescale and most soft blockages up to 6 inches.
For hotel kitchen grease and downpipes invaded by ficus or palm roots. The head rotates on its axis while firing radial jets — it cuts and sweeps simultaneously.
LED self-lit head, 30-metre cable, surface monitor. We record the before and after on your phone — for your peace of mind and as evidence if needed for your insurer or property manager.
When the camera reaches the problem, a probe emits a signal and a surface locator marks the exact point above ground. If we need to open up, we open only at that point.
How we work, step by step
We ask what's happening, where and since when. We load the van with exactly the right equipment for the job.
Before we start jetting we locate the exact point of the blockage. We show you the footage on your phone.
Camera in hand, we give you a single written price. You decide whether to proceed. If not, you only pay the €40 call-out fee.
Hydro-jetter with the right head for the job. Final camera check to record the clean section.

We've been working in the south for 20 years without a single bill that turned out higher than quoted. The rule is always the same: €40 fixed call-out, then a written fixed quote that you approve before we open a single valve.
Typical domestic unblocking (kitchen, bathroom, shower): €90–180 all-in.
Community soil stack: €220–450 depending on height, access and machine time.
Hotel horizontal network: bespoke quote, typically €600–1,800 per section.
