The Average Cost of Clearing a Blocked Drain

If you have a blocked drain, it can cause many problems, and the longer it’s left, the more apparent those problems will be. So, when you can’t clear it yourself, and it’s time to call the professionals, how much should you expect to pay?

In this Checkatrade article, they provide a table of average costs for various drainage services for your reference. We thought we would help with that comparison by providing our prices alongside those averages. 

There are, of course, caveats to the above and times where those prices will differ, but roughly speaking, these prices will apply. It’s always best to check with the ASL Limited office on 0800 181 684 to get an accurate price for your specific circumstances.

Checkatrade also states that you can expect to pay £140 for drain rodding, and £235 for drain jetting (including call-out charges). When we attend a blocked drain call-out, we include rodding and light jetting for £82.50 +VAT.

There is no point in only partially clearing the blockage – that would mean you’d have to call someone out again, so it wouldn’t be cost-effective. We are very proud of our Checkatrade reviews, and they speak for themselves. Please do go take a look if you are in any doubt.

In addition to this, we also include a FREE “Quick Look” CCTV drain survey so that you and we alike know what was causing the problem in the first place and if there is any damage to the drain pipe.

Now you simply won’t get that dedication from every blocked drain company!

With our vast experience, we can clear blocked drains within half an hour, which is why we are confident in the price of our blocked drain service. Yes, on occasion, stubborn drain blockages may require more attention, and in these cases, it is likely there is a more substantial reason for the blockage. This could be collapsed pipes or root ingress. You can, however, rest assured that whatever the problem we do have all the knowledge, expertise and equipment to solve the problem. We will always give you a quote for any repair work and won’t action anything in addition to the initial agreed charge without your consent first.
