When Lichfield drains need unblocking, our local teams cover the entire area from the cathedral close and Dam Street to Boley Park, Darwin Park, and Curborough. We handle everything from simple kitchen sink blockages to complex shared drainage issues in the city's many period properties.
Call our Lichfield response line. We gather details about the affected fixtures — sinks, toilets, baths, or external drains — and dispatch the nearest available engineer.
On arrival typically within 60-75 minutes, we identify which section of drainage is affected and determine whether the blockage is localised or further downstream.
Depending on the blockage type, we use manual drain rods, an electromechanical drain snake, or high-pressure jetting equipment to clear the obstruction.
The blockage is fully removed and the line is flushed with water to confirm unimpeded flow from every connected appliance.
We explain what caused the issue and offer practical advice on preventing future blockages in your Lichfield property.
Our Lichfield engineers arrive with comprehensive unblocking tools suited to the area's property mix. We identify the obstruction quickly and clear it completely, testing flow restoration before finishing the job.
Local tip: Lichfield's medieval street layout in the city centre means drainage runs can follow unexpected routes. If one clearing attempt doesn't solve the problem, a CCTV survey will map the exact pipe routes.
We aim to arrive at Lichfield properties typically within 60-75 minutes. Once on site, most drain unblocking jobs are completed within one to two hours depending on the nature and location of the obstruction.

Simple blockages near the plughole may respond to a plunger or drain cleaner. However, if water is backing up from external drains or multiple fixtures are affected, professional equipment is needed. Attempting to rod shared drainage incorrectly can push the blockage further downstream.
Catching a blocked drain early can save you hundreds of pounds in emergency repairs. Here are the key warning signs every Burton upon Trent homeowner should know.
