Every drainage problem, handled by specialists
Our engineers carry rodding and high-pressure jetting equipment, so most jobs are fixed on the first visit.
Internal and external drains cleared at any hour. We remove fat, wipes, silt and roots with rodding and high-pressure jetting. If a blockage keeps coming back, we can carry out a CCTV survey on request to find out why.
Daytime drainage from £80/hr. About half the typical London price.
Many London drainage firms charge a call-out fee on top of their hourly rate. We don’t. A daytime first hour with Velox costs £96 including VAT, all in. For most daytime jobs, that means paying far less than the London norm.
Velox daytime call-out + first hour£96£80 + VAT. No call-out fee.

No-dig drain repair
Repair the pipe. Keep your garden.
Most cracked or root-damaged drains don’t need digging up. We push a resin-soaked liner through the existing manhole, inflate it against the damage, and it sets into a new pipe wall inside the old one.
No trenches through patios, driveways or kitchen floors
Usually completed in a day, with drains back in use the same day
Seals cracks and joints so roots can’t grow back in
Before-and-after footage available on request for your records or insurer
Call or WhatsApp us. We ask a few quick questions and give you an arrival time.

What London customers say
Amazing service. Came and unblocked our drain, which we’d had recurring issues with for months. We’ve had trouble with other plumbers, but these guys were very honest and helpful. Would book again and recommend.
Response was very quick. Great customer service. They even cleaned the bath afterwards! Would definitely hire again.
My job had a lot of challenges, but he was determined to solve it, and he did. Well done. Excellent communication as well.
When our washing machine was leaking, they responded immediately. Their quick, efficient service saved us from water damage.
Came on the day to fix the water leaks, and came early too. Great guy. Would recommend him to friends and family.
Brilliant service. Really quick to get in touch. Will definitely use again. Thank you for the brilliant job!

Who is responsible for a blocked drain?
In England, you’re usually responsible for drains that serve only your property and sit within your boundary. Shared pipes and those beyond your boundary are usually the water company’s responsibility. A CCTV survey can confirm where the problem is.
What is a no-dig drain repair?
It fixes a cracked or damaged drain from inside the pipe using a resin liner, so there’s no need to dig up gardens, driveways or floors.
Do you offer drain maintenance plans?
Yes. Our plans include regular inspections and preventative jetting to stop blockages before they happen. They suit landlords, agents and commercial kitchens.
