Drain unblocking
Our drain unblocking service utilizes high-pressure water jetting and specialized equipment to clear blockages in sinks, toilets, and main drains. We handle everything from minor clogs to severe obstructions caused by roots or debris. Customers benefit from our transparent fixed pricing for standard domestic jobs within our local area.
CCTV surveys
We conduct detailed CCTV drain surveys using advanced camera systems to identify blockages, cracks, or structural issues. This non-invasive method allows precise diagnosis of problems and provides visual documentation for homeowners or property transactions. Reports include recommended solutions with photographic evidence.
Pipe relining
Our pipe relining service offers trenchless repair solutions for damaged drains using Brawoliner technology. This method creates a durable, jointless replacement pipe within existing infrastructure, minimizing disruption and avoiding extensive excavation work for property owners.
Root cutting
We specialize in removing invasive tree roots from drainage systems using specialized cutting equipment. Our approach addresses both immediate blockages and long-term prevention strategies, helping maintain clear drains in properties surrounded by vegetation.
Emergency service
Available round-the-clock for urgent drainage issues, our emergency service responds swiftly to critical situations like sewage backups. We maintain standby equipment and personnel to handle after-hours calls, with transparent pricing that includes evening and weekend surcharges.

I contacted Draincure due to a blocked manhole drain. They were professional, courteous and arrived within an hour of calling. The price was very good and was fixed as their advert stated. If youre looking to find a great company, look no further, call Draincure now.

With the best equipment and an effective process, they successfully cleared a whole number of deep embedded blockages at my home and the surrounding water ways, which had been backing up for a good while now. Punctual, no hassle and professional team. Highly Recommended.
