Ashbourne mixes old town houses with new edge-of-town homes. Church Street and the Market Place have old period homes, while Compton and Sandybrook have newer houses. Our team clears blocked drains in any of these homes.
Fill in our quick online form. Tell us the symptoms — slow drainage, gurgling, bad smells, or standing water. We send a local engineer to your Ashbourne property, arriving in dispatch order, with urgent jobs prioritised.
Your engineer checks every access point. If needed, a CCTV drain camera pinpoints the exact blockage and its cause, since not every fault is visible by eye.
We clear the blockage with high-pressure jetting, rodding, or cutting tools, since each blockage needs a different approach. Then we flush the line clean.
We run water through every affected fixture. Then we check the drainage run to confirm flow is fully restored, with no other issues.
You get a summary of what caused the blockage. We add practical steps to stop it recurring, suited to your Ashbourne property type.
We look at the home type, pipe age, and drain layout each time, since no two Ashbourne drains are quite the same. Old town-centre homes need different care than new estate homes. Our engineers adjust their approach to match.
Local tip: Gardens near Church Street and the town centre have large old trees. These pose a real root risk. Book a yearly CCTV check if trees sit within 5 metres of your drains.

In Ashbourne we often see root intrusion from mature garden trees and hedgerows and fat and grease buildup from busy household kitchens. Properties such as Georgian and Victorian town houses, stone-built cottages, modern housing, and semi-detached family homes can be especially prone to this, because of ageing pipework and mature trees.
