Drain Jetting — frequently asked questions
Is high-pressure drain jetting safe for old pipes?
Yes, when performed by professionals. We adjust the water pressure based on the pipe material and condition to ensure safe and effective cleaning.
How often should drains be jetted?
For most residential properties, annual or bi-annual jetting helps prevent blockages. Commercial kitchens may require more frequent maintenance due to grease buildup.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
No, Manchester Blocked Drain Co does not charge any call-out fees. You only pay for the work completed.
How quickly can you arrive in an emergency?
For urgent drainage issues, we typically arrive within 60–90 minutes for central Manchester and M-postcode areas, and up to 2 hours for outer Greater Manchester — traffic and weather permitting.
Are you available for emergencies?
Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency drainage services across Manchester and surrounding areas. Call 0161 282 8080 for immediate assistance.
How much does drain unblocking cost?
Costs depend on access, blockage severity, and whether repairs are needed. We give a clear fixed quote before work starts, so you know exactly what you're paying for.
