Blocked Drain Services in Gillingham
Drain Unblocking
KD Drainage provides professional drain unblocking in and around Gillingham for homes, businesses and commercial premises. Our engineers can help with blocked toilets, sinks, showers, baths, gullies, manholes, waste pipes and external drains.
CCTV Drain Surveys
If a blocked drain in Gillingham keeps returning or the cause is not clear, a CCTV drain survey can inspect the pipework internally. This can help identify root ingress, cracked drains, displaced joints, scale build-up or collapsed pipework.
Drain Repairs
Some blocked drains are caused by damaged pipework rather than a simple obstruction. If cracks, displaced joints, damaged drains or a partial collapse are found, our team can advise on suitable drain repair options for Gillingham properties.
Drain Root Removal
Tree root ingress can cause stubborn or recurring drain blockages. Our engineers can remove roots from affected drains using specialist equipment and advise whether further repair work may be required to reduce the risk of repeat problems.
Drain Relining
Where suitable, drain relining can repair damaged drains without major excavation. A new lining is installed inside the existing pipework, helping to restore the drain while keeping disruption to a minimum.
Bluelight Lining
Bluelight lining can be used for suitable drainage defects where a fast, effective repair is required. The lining is cured using specialist UV technology, helping repair damaged pipework with less disruption than traditional excavation.
Gully Cleaning
Blocked gullies can lead to standing water, flooding and surface water drainage issues. KD Drainage can clear gullies and external drainage points for homes, businesses, yards and commercial sites in Gillingham.
Commercial Drainage
KD Drainage also supports Gillingham businesses, landlords, managing agents and commercial premises with blocked drains and drainage issues, helping reduce disruption and keep drainage systems working safely.

Blocked Drains Gillingham FAQs
Do you provide blocked drain services in Gillingham?
KD Drainage provides blocked drain services in and around Gillingham for homes, businesses and commercial premises. Our engineers can help with blocked toilets, sinks, showers, gullies, manholes, waste pipes and external drains.
How do professionals unblock drains in Gillingham?
Professional drainage engineers use equipment such as drain rods, mechanical cutters, high-pressure water jetting and CCTV drain cameras. The method used depends on the type of blockage, its location and the condition of the pipework.
Can you clear blocked toilets, sinks and showers in Gillingham?
Yes, blocked toilets, sinks, showers, baths, gullies and external drains are common drainage issues. If the blockage is recurring or difficult to clear, further investigation may be recommended to identify the underlying cause.
Will I need a CCTV drain survey?
Not every blocked drain needs a CCTV survey. However, if the blockage keeps returning, is difficult to locate or may be linked to damaged pipework, a CCTV survey can help identify root ingress, cracks, scale build-up or collapsed drains.
How much does it cost to unblock a drain in Gillingham?
The cost of unblocking a drain depends on the type of blockage, where it is located and whether further investigation is required. Simple blockages can often be cleared quickly, while recurring or more serious issues may require CCTV inspection or repair work.
Should I use chemicals to unblock a drain?
It is not recommended to rely on harsh chemicals for a serious blocked drain. Chemicals may not fully clear the blockage and can sometimes damage pipework, seals or fittings. Professional drain unblocking is usually carried out with mechanical equipment or high-pressure water jetting.
What causes drains to become blocked?
Common causes of blocked drains include wet wipes, grease, fats, oils, food waste, sanitary products, scale build-up, silt, tree root ingress, damaged pipework and collapsed drains. A professional inspection can help identify the cause if the issue keeps returning.
Can you help with recurring blocked drains in Gillingham?
Yes, recurring blocked drains often point to a deeper issue within the drainage system. Once the immediate blockage has been cleared, further investigation may be recommended to check for root ingress, damaged pipework, scale build-up or a partial collapse.
