How pricing works

The engineer who takes your job sets the price. We pass your quote request on, but we do not charge you for that and we do not fix the cost. Because every job differs, a real figure only comes from someone who knows the details.

Ask the engineer what the quote includes before you agree. For example, check whether it covers VAT, a call-out fee and a report. Get the answer in writing if you can.

What affects your final quote

Access

An outside inspection chamber makes clearance and surveys easier. In contrast, a drain under a conservatory or extension can add time and may need special kit.

Pipe age and material

Old clay pipes can block differently from modern plastic ones. As a result, older systems can need more time, and sometimes a repair, to clear fully.

How long the problem has lasted

A fresh blockage is often simpler to clear. However, a drain that has backed up for months may hide a fault that needs a survey first.

Time and urgency

Work at night or at a weekend often costs more than planned daytime work. Therefore, if the job can wait, ask whether a daytime slot costs less.

Pricing questions

Do you set the prices?
No. The engineer who takes your job sets the price and gives you a quote. We pass your request on, but we do not fix prices. Ask the engineer what the quote covers, because that varies from job to job.
Can you tell me what a job will cost?
We cannot give a number, because the cost depends on the job. Access, pipe age, how long the problem has lasted and the time of day all matter. A free quote request is the best way to get a real figure.
Is VAT included in a quote?
Ask the engineer. Some firms quote with VAT and some without, so check before you agree. A written quote should say which one it is.
Is there a call-out fee?
That depends on the engineer. Some firms charge one, while others fold it into the job price. Ask before you agree, and get the answer in writing if you can.
How do I pay?
The engineer tells you which payment methods they take. Agree this before work starts, so there are no surprises when the job ends.
What if the engineer cannot fix the problem?
Ask what happens in that case before you say yes. For example, check whether you pay for the time spent or only for finished work. A clear answer up front avoids arguments later.
