How the request service works
This site is a request service for drainage work. You send your details through the form. The form passes your request on so an engineer can respond. Agree the price before any work starts, since quotes differ.
The engineer who takes your job runs a separate business. For that reason, the engineer sets the price, the arrival time and any guarantee. Agree all three before work starts, and ask for a written quote. A written quote protects both sides, because it fixes what the job covers.
Each service page below explains the job in plain terms. It covers the usual causes, the questions to ask and typical UK costs from published guides. Those costs are not Dundee quotes, although they show what to expect. The engineer's written quote is what counts.

Not sure which service you need?
Start with the symptom. A single slow sink or toilet usually points to a block in one fixture, since each fixture has its own pipe. Read about blocked drains. If water backs up outside, read about drain unblocking and drain cleaning.
A block that keeps returning often needs a look inside the pipe. A CCTV drain survey shows the cause, while drain jetting cleans grease and silt from the pipe walls. If the pipe has damage, drain repairs explains the options.
Sewage or flooding needs quicker action. Read the emergency drain help page first, then mark your request urgent. You can send a request 24/7, although the engineer sets any arrival time.
Typical UK costs at a glance
These ranges come from published UK cost guides. They are not Dundee quotes, and the sources still differ on some jobs. Fantastic Services says prices in London and the south-east run 15 to 30% above those in northern England, Wales and Scotland, so prices here may sit lower.
| Job | Range the guides give | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Basic drain unblocking | £80 to £150 | Book A Builder |
| Drain jetting | £70 to £175 | MyJobQuote |
| Domestic CCTV drain survey | £100 to £300 | less.co.uk and Book A Builder |
| Full domestic relining job | £1,500 to £4,000 | less.co.uk |
| Excavation and replacement | £1,000 to £5,000 or more | Book A Builder |
Each service page gives the detail and names the source of every range. The engineer's written quote still decides the real price, because each job differs. Compare two quotes for repairs, since they vary most.
Questions to ask before you agree a job
Prices and methods differ from one engineer to the next, so a few questions protect you. Ask them when the engineer replies, and write the answers down. A written note helps if the job changes, since both sides can check what you agreed.
- Is there a call-out charge, and what does it cover?
- Can I have the full price in writing before work starts?
- When can you attend, and is there an out-of-hours charge?
- What guarantee covers the work, and for how long?
For larger jobs such as a repair, compare two quotes. Prices for relining and digging vary widely, so a second quote shows what is normal. Each service page lists the questions that matter most for that job.
