How we do it
From call to clear.
- 1
We find the blockage
We lift the cover and trace the run. If it keeps happening, we put a camera down to see why.
- 2
High-pressure jetting
Water at high pressure cuts through fat, wipes, silt and roots and flushes the pipe clean.
- 3
We test it
We run water through the system to make sure everything is flowing before we leave.
- 4
Advice to stop it coming back
We tell you what caused it and whether anything else needs attention.

Blocked drain
“I had a blocked drain from my kitchen. Called this company and the phone was answered straightaway. Explained the problem and Lee advised he would be with me within an hour, which he was. Price was quoted before any work was undertaken and that was the price paid.”
“We had a blocked drain causing effluent to back up into our drainage and yard. Very quick, competent and efficient work to clear less than 90 mins from my initial call!”
Toilet pipe blockage
“Contacted at 8am, visit arranged for pm same day. Work carried out and completed by 3pm. Informed 20 minutes prior to arrival. First rate service by someone who knew what he was doing.”
“Phoned on late afternoon and was at my door within 30 minutes. Great service by Lee. Answered my questions and was swiftly in and done the job no trouble. Thoroughly recommend this company. Top job thanks 👍”
Blocked drain
“Called at 10am on a Sunday. Lee had been and cleared them by 1pm. Great service.”
“After being ripped off by a pretend plumber to clear a blocked toilet, I checked reviews this time and called Reactive Drains. Lee came out a few hours later and cleared it in no time. He was thoroughly professional and friendly, even inviting me to watch what he was doing which I found fascinating.”
Questions
Straight answers.
Is there a call-out charge?
No. There's never a call-out charge.
How fast can you get here?
For emergencies, typically within two hours, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, as long as the drain isn't misused afterwards, for example by flushing baby wipes or sanitary products. Checkatrade jobs are also covered by their £1,000 guarantee (their T&Cs apply).
Why does my outside drain keep blocking?
Usually misuse or a lack of maintenance, sometimes roots or a damaged pipe. A camera survey shows exactly which.
