Once upon a time, in fact it was 1989, a master plumber named Kieran started a quest to free the South East of England from blocked drains and plumbing problems. It was then that BlockBusters was born, grown and continued Kieran's bold quest. Kieran is still one of our Directors, yet the company has expanded into an intrepid team of plumbers, drainage engineers, CCTV drain survey engineers and a flouish of support staff offering exceptional customer service behind the scenes.BlockBusters Drainage and Plumbing Services offer a comprehensive range of drainage and plumbing services, including drain unblocking, broken drain repairs, Renoline pipe lining, CCTV drain surveys, irrigation systems, sewer cleaning, soakaways, septic tanks and Saniflo maintenance.

Our engineers are friendly, experienced and equipped to help you with all of your drainage and plumbing needs. We can help with everything from simple advice to full drain replacement. Blocked drains can be caused by anything other than water being flushed down your drain, and can soon cause slow draining sinks and even a flood.
Blocked drains can be a real nightmare. Even a small problem can build up quickly into a major issue if it's not dealt with quickly and efficiently. Often the first we know of a blocked drain will be flooding in our home or just outside the property. When water or sewage is flooding your property you need it dealt with as quickly as possible, and you need it done properly.
CCTV drain surveys are a great way to see into your drains without having to dig. The majority of your drainage pipes are underground, and if there's a leak or a blockage it can be tricky to know where to start. With a CCTV drain survey we use a winch and cable on a reel with CCTV equipment, which allows us to inspect every inch of your drains.
We love to hear from you, so in putting your full name we know who to address and be able to add to any recommendations, receipts or invoices. We ask for your phone number in case we need to call you to arrange an engineer appointment or discuss the needs of your drainage issue. Please put as much information as you can to do with the drainage issue you're experiencing. Along with any requests or details such as the best time to get in touch or any times for our engineers to avoid coming out to you.

We all dread calling out the plumbers and drain companies as you know you're at their mercy. From my experience I believe you can engage with this company with confidence. I'd got as far as I could clearing out our internal ensuite main drain ( toilet, bath, sink & shower ) and I knew it was still blocked up with hard scale that I couldn't get out.
After some research I chose to call Blockbusters. During the call I had to confirm that there was no call out charge but they charge a minimum of an hours work at 125 and I fortunately asked if this was plus VAT and yes it was. So it's a 150 minimum once they start work. Fair enough, if they are good. Mat from Blockbusters turned up on time and he was good, polite and hard working.
His Van is packed with quality tools and high class equipment with which I doubt there's many jobs that Mat wouldn't be able to fix and importantly quickly! FYI I'd already removed the WC for him to access the down pipe as well as unclipping the external sewer pipe. With his camera, Mat showed me where the build of scale was and set about clearing it all out with a hose drain cleaner.
About 3kgs of hard lumps of scale came out and water ran free. The whole process took him about 45 mins and would have probably taken an hour in total if I'd not done the prep work. What impressed me most was that I believe Mat / Blockbusters are not out there to maximise each revenue opportunity and are efficient, hard working and looking to get the job completed in the quickest possible time for the client. Commendable I thought. Hence the review of which I don't do many but when I do, they're due and I trust you find my experience with Mat and Blockbusters very similar and pleasing.

Blockbusters came to our rescue when dense plant growth in our drainage system prevented our soak away from working properly. They came promptly, were open about the cost and worked hard to unblock the obstructions. They returned later to replace part of the drainage system. They appear to have done a first class job. We are very pleased. Special thanks to Gavin.

Blockbusters were great from start to finish, the explained the process and exactly what was going on and when. We had new drains put down to stop large amounts of water coming down from our garden to our house. Tim who handled the communication was a delight and the engineers on site were polite and tidy. Good job well done.
