What our customers say about us
5.00
Did a brilliant job with our soak away and also our garden. They were quick and efficient, nothing was too much trouble for them and they went above and beyond what they needed to do. Would not hesitate to recommend them.
Alex was very responsive and would have came out that day, but after discussion needed to order a pump in. Knowing i was travelling the next day, he communicated later the Saturday that the pump was on order to be delivered on Monday am, and he would be with us Monday early afternoon to fit.
Like clockwork Monday came, new pump was fitted and everything in fine working order again. Alex kept me updated via Whatsapp and sent a video of the completed job.
Great response on a Saturday and service overall. Will 100% recommend and call again if needed.
Upon arrival, he quickly found the issue and sorted it for me, however, explained that due to the plumbing may not be a complete fix and stated he will send photos to the plumber he works with, with suggestions of what to do next.
Great customer service and knowledge. Thanks.
I posted a job explaining that my toilet was overflowing and flushing slowly, likely due to a blockage in the drains. Alex responded quickly and was able to come out the same day, which was really helpful. As I was at work, I gave him the details and access, and he handled everything professionally while I was out.
The issue turned out to be a simple fix, and Alex sorted it quickly and efficiently. He messaged me afterwards with photos and a clear explanation to show that the job had been completed, which I really appreciated.
He was also very easy to communicate with throughout, quick to respond, clear in his messages, and easy to get hold of.
His pricing was fair and transparent with no hidden fees, and the overall cost felt very reasonable for the work carried out.
By the time I got home, everything was working perfectly again. Communication was excellent from start to finish, friendly, clear, and reliable.
I’m really pleased with the service and would definitely recommend Alex to anyone needing drain or plumbing work.
Our Drainage Services
Drainage and waste services for homes and businesses across King’s Lynn and West Norfolk.
24/7 Emergency Drain Unblocking
We clear blocked drains, toilets and external gullies fast, for homes and businesses, day or night, across King’s Lynn and West Norfolk. Every van carries high-pressure jetting and a CCTV camera, so we shift the blockage and check the pipe to see what caused it, all in one visit. We aim to be with you the same day, often within a few hours. When you ring, you speak to Alex, not a call centre, and he confirms the price before anyone sets off. No hidden charges, no being passed around. If your drain keeps backing up, that usually points to a tree root or a cracked pipe, and we will tell you straight what is wrong and what it needs.
Grease Trap Management
If you run a kitchen, your grease trap has to be emptied and cleaned on a regular schedule, or the fats build up, the drains back up, and environmental health start asking questions. We empty the trap, jet the walls and baffles back to clean, and check it is flowing freely before we leave. The waste goes to a licensed site and you get a waste transfer note every visit, the paperwork that proves it was disposed of properly. We are a registered waste carrier with the Environment Agency. We work around your hours, coming before service or after you close, whatever keeps the kitchen running. Restaurants, pubs, hotels and care homes across King’s Lynn and West Norfolk, on a schedule that suits how busy you are.
Emergency Drainage
Blocked drains, blocked toilets and overflowing external drains do not wait for office hours, and neither do we. We clear emergency drainage for homes and businesses across King’s Lynn and West Norfolk, 24 hours a day. Every van carries high-pressure jetting and a CCTV camera, so we clear the blockage and find out what caused it in the same visit. We aim to be with you the same day, often within a few hours. From a backed-up toilet in Gaywood to a drain that keeps blocking on an older clay run, we turn up properly equipped and sort it first time. When you ring, you speak to Alex, not a call centre, and he confirms the price before anyone sets off.
Commercial Drainage
Drainage problems cost a business the moment they start, whether it is a blocked drain stopping service or a grease trap overdue a clean. We look after commercial drainage for restaurants, pubs, hotels, care homes, schools and industrial sites across King’s Lynn and West Norfolk. That covers commercial drain clearance, scheduled grease trap emptying, interceptor cleaning for forecourts and workshops, and planned maintenance that keeps you trading and compliant. We work around your hours, coming before service or after you close, whatever keeps the kitchen or the site running. Speak to Alex direct, and he tells you what the job needs and what it costs before any work starts.
Septic Tanks
Plenty of homes, farms and businesses around West Norfolk are off the mains and run on a septic tank, and a tank that is not emptied on time soon backs up. We handle septic tank emptying, cleaning and routine maintenance across King’s Lynn and the surrounding villages, for one-off jobs and regular contracts alike. We also carry out pre-purchase septic tank inspections, so if you are buying a rural property you know exactly what you are taking on before you complete. Regular emptying stops the system backing up and saves you a far bigger bill later on. Alex will set up an emptying schedule that suits how your property is used.
Sewage Treatment & Pump Stations
If your property runs on a sewage treatment plant or a pump station, it needs regular servicing to keep working and to stay on the right side of the Environment Agency. We service and maintain treatment plants and pump stations for homes, farms and businesses across King’s Lynn and West Norfolk, from a single domestic unit to commercial sites and care homes. That covers scheduled servicing, repairs, and emergency callouts when a pump fails and waste has nowhere to go. Catching a worn pump or a failing part early is far cheaper than dealing with a backup after it has happened. Alex will sort a service schedule that fits your system.

What Happens When You Don't Act Fast
A restaurant in King’s Lynn ignored a slow-draining grease trap for two weeks. By the time they called us, raw sewage had backed up into the kitchen during Friday evening service. They had to close mid-shift, send customers home, and call in specialist cleaners.
The emergency callout was the cheap part. The lost revenue and deep clean cost thousands more.
