Please read our terms of business

All prices quoted will be subject to VAT at 20%. And all work is quoted for 1 hour to include investigation labour and the use of drain clearing equipment including jetting and rodding including a CCTV look see inspection but not including a recorded camera survey / report or any other specialist tools like cable machines & wet vacs, unless otherwise stated.

If we arrive and investigate to find that your septic tank is full then you will still be charged, this would be charged under the investigation work.

Pricing

The charge of £120 + VAT is for the 1 Hour on site, this means if we are on site for 5 minutes or 1 hour the charge would be the same. Once the first hour is complete a secondary charge of £52.5 + VAT will be applied per every half hour of working time / time on site.

Access

All drains & inspection covers have to be fully accessible, if we cannot gain access to the drains for reasons such as they have been built over, hidden chambers or no access due to the pipes being boxed in then the charge quoted will still apply. If we are called to a blockage and this is found to be on a shared drain then you will still be charged the quoted price, however you may be able to claim this back from your local water company.

S J Drainage Services Ltd cannot be held responsible for any damage caused in the removal of drain covers etc., or and damage caused to drains or property by high pressure jetting, the very nature of high-pressure water jetting may find weakness in your drains. Remember a drain can only block by the incorrect items being placed in it or a faulty drain, we do not cause blockages, we clear them.
