We had a major drainage emergency at our hotel in Blackpool on a Friday night. The team from Drainage Experts arrived within 45 minutes. They used their high-pressure jetting gear to clear a massive fatberg that had blocked our main line. Professional, fast, and local. They really are the go-to experts for the Fylde Coast.

As a property manager in Preston, I've used several drainage firms, but none match the reliability of this team. They recently completed a full CCTV survey and patch repair for a commercial unit in Leyland. The report was detailed and helped us settle an insurance claim quickly. Excellent service covering the whole of Central Lancashire.

After a heavy storm, we had significant flooding issues at our farm near Lancaster. Drainage Experts sent out a crew who diagnosed a collapsed culvert. They handled the excavation and repair with zero fuss and even applied their first order discount as we were new customers. Best drainage contractor in North Lancashire by far.

Fast response for a blocked sewer at our retail park in Blackburn. They managed the traffic safety and the deep-drain unblocking perfectly. It’s great to find a company that actually covers the East Lancashire area properly without charging a fortune for travel. Solid, dependable work.

Your Local Experts for Every Corner of Lancashire

From our central headquarters in Poulton-le-Fylde, Drainage Experts provides a comprehensive range of drainage and civil engineering solutions to the entire county. We understand that drainage emergencies don’t respect boundaries, which is why we have strategically positioned our rapid-response teams to reach any Lancashire town or village within the hour.

Whether you are a homeowner in the heart of Blackpool or a commercial developer in the Ribble Valley, our commitment remains the same: high-quality craftsmanship, lasting results, and transparent pricing.

Targeted Regional Hubs for Rapid Response

To ensure we maintain our reputation for speed and efficiency, we have divided our operations into four key regional hubs. This allows us to provide local expertise and familiar engineers to every customer, regardless of their postcode.

Blackpool & The Fylde Coast (FY Postcodes) Our home territory includes Blackpool, Lytham St Annes, Thornton-Cleveleys, and Fleetwood. Because we are based right here in the FY6 area, we can often be on-site in Blackpool within 30 minutes to handle blocked toilets, overflowing manholes, or emergency repairs.

Preston & Central Lancashire (PR Postcodes) We provide extensive coverage across Preston, Leyland, Chorley, and Garstang. From city-center commercial unblocks to rural septic tank maintenance, our teams are a familiar sight along the M6 and M61 corridors, ensuring Central Lancashire stays flowing.

Lancaster & North Lancashire (LA Postcodes) Serving Lancaster, Morecambe, and Heysham, we specialize in both urban drainage and coastal infrastructure. We understand the specific environmental challenges of North Lancashire and offer 24/7 support for both domestic and industrial clients.

Blackburn & East Lancashire (BB Postcodes) Our reach extends across Blackburn, Burnley, Accrington, and Clitheroe. We are equipped to handle the tougher terrain and industrial requirements of East Lancashire, providing everything from CCTV surveys to major sewer connections.

Why We Are Lancashire’s First Choice

Choosing a drainage partner is about more than just finding someone with a van. It is about local knowledge and accountability. We know the Victorian sewer systems of Preston just as well as the sandy coastal drainage of Blackpool. This insight allows us to diagnose problems faster and provide permanent solutions rather than temporary fixes.

We are proud to be an independent, family-run business that puts the community first. Every job we undertake across the county is backed by our full guarantee of quality, and we are fully insured to work on both private property and public highways.

Commercial and Domestic Excellence

No job is too large or too small for our Lancashire teams. We treat a kitchen sink unblock in a residential flat with the same level of professionalism as a multi-site Section 106 connection for a new housing development.

For our commercial clients, we offer planned maintenance contracts across multiple Lancashire locations, helping businesses avoid the cost and disruption of sudden drainage failure. For our residential customers, we provide peace of mind with fixed-price unblocking and a first order discount to help keep your home secure without breaking the bank.

Ready to Serve Your Local Area

Our engineers are currently on the road across the county. If you need a local expert who understands the unique requirements of your specific town, we are ready to help.

Frequently Asked Questions About Blocked Drains in Blackpool & Fylde

1. How quickly can you get to my property in Blackpool?

As we are based locally on the Fylde Coast, we aim to provide a rapid emergency response. We guarantee to have an engineer dispatched to Blackpool, Poulton, or Lytham within 90 minutes of your call, 24/7, to resolve your blockage fast.

2. Do you charge a call-out fee for emergency blockages?

No. We operate a clear, fixed-price policy for standard domestic drain unblocking. You only pay the agreed-upon fixed rate for the work needed. There are absolutely no hidden call-out charges or extra fees.

3. What is high-pressure water jetting?

High-pressure water jetting is the most effective method for drain clearance. It uses powerful, high-velocity jets of water to cut through and flush away stubborn obstructions like fat, scale, debris, and even tree roots, ensuring the pipe is fully clear.

4. What should I do if my outside drain is overflowing?

Stop using all water immediately (toilets, sinks, showers). Avoid attempting to unblock it yourself with chemical cleaners, as this can be dangerous. Call our 24/7 Blackpool emergency number straight away for expert assistance.

5. What causes blocked drains most often in the Blackpool area?

In residential areas of the Fylde Coast, the most common causes are unflushable items (wipes), hair/soap scum, and FOG (Fat, Oil, Grease). Due to the local coastal environment, older pipes can also be susceptible to sand and silt ingress.

6. What areas of the Fylde Coast do you cover?

We provide full emergency coverage across all of the Fylde Coast and the wider Lancashire area, including Blackpool, Poulton-le-Fylde, Lytham St Annes, Fleetwood, Thornton-Cleveleys, and Kirkham.

7. Can you clear commercial blockages (e.g., in hotels or restaurants)?

Yes. We specialize in commercial drainage, including urgent, heavy-duty blockages caused by large volumes of FOG and trade waste—a frequent issue for Blackpool's extensive hospitality sector. We offer pre-planned maintenance contracts to prevent recurrence.

8. What if the blockage is caused by a collapsed or broken pipe?

If we cannot clear the blockage with jetting, we will immediately carry out a basic camera inspection to diagnose the structural issue. We can then provide a quote for permanent repairs, including trenchless drain lining options, minimizing disruption.

9. Do you guarantee your blocked drain clearance work?

Yes, all standard drain clearances are backed by our guarantee. If the same blockage recurs within a specified period (e.g., 90 days) due to our work, we will return to clear it free of charge.

10. Who is responsible for the blocked drain: the homeowner or United Utilities?

Generally, you are responsible for the drains inside the boundary of your property up to the public sewer connection. The public sewer is the responsibility of United Utilities. We can quickly determine the responsible party during our initial inspection.
