- Bowling Green Court
Cotswold Drainage cleared a blocked drainage pipe from our septic tank. Not the easiest access and a combination of pipe and soakaway to investigate. Adrian was excellent - prompt, friendly and willing to go the extra yard when things were looking difficult. Very pleased with the service.
- Geoff Smith
Used this company a couple of times now. Staff always great and they turn up when they say. Never had any problems, work always done properly. Would recommend.

- Donald Gilder
From start to finish Nikki and the team were brilliant . Quotes through quickly and house buying drainage survey results through in a couple days. Would highly recommend this company. Thank you all.
- Carrie Crinage
Professional and reliable with first class service, definitely recommend. We had an issue with an ACO drain in the recent torrential storms which caused flooding in our integral garage. Having been flooded in two previous properties before this occasion and now being paranoid about water, we wanted to rectify the situation quickly to mitigate any future problems. We searched the Internet looking for a professional, trustworthy company who we could rely upon to fix the issue quickly and provide us with peace of mind. We found and researched Cotswold Drainage, particularly taking into account the customer feedback and first class reviews in our decision. We couldn't be more delighted from our initial contact with Nikki, two site visits one by Dave to review the issue quickly followed up by Adrian for a camera inspection, to Keith who carried out the work over 3 days in the most awful of weather (rain, drizzle and bitterly cold). Keith worked flat out every day at the same time always professional, cheerful and courteous. We cannot fault them and and would highly recommend them.

    What causes dirty drains?

    Dirty drains can be caused by several different factors that can be resolved by professional drain cleaning. Some of the most common causes of dirty drains occur naturally from our bodies, including our hair and skin cells. These can not only cause build-up of dirt, but hair is also one of the main causes of blockages. Other external causes are food waste, FOGs (fats, oils and grease), hygiene products, pipe scale and nature such as tree roots.

    Despite your best efforts and sensible precautions, drains can still often become dirty or blocked over time through regular normal use. Whilst it is possible to do basic cleaning and maintenance yourselves, sometimes it's just not possible to clean with household supplies, or you might just be short on time. We can take the hassle of drain cleaning away from you, leaving your drains clean, clear, and problem-free.

    Why should you keep your drains clean?

    Maintenance and drain cleaning are important to a heathly home or workplace. Poorly-maintained drains can lead to blockages, bad odours and long-term damage.

    Regular cleaning will help prevent issues before they occur and keep your water flowing smoothly. Preventing the cause of dirt and debris is important, but regular professional cleaning will help massively reduce the chance of major issues.

    Dirty drains can, over time, increase the risk of health issues related to those who have asthma, as dirt enables mould and bacteria to grow. We can survey your drains before and after drain cleaning has taken place, ensuring your drainage systems are free from these harmful elements.

    Blockages and contaminants can also affect the structural integrity of the drains and piping, which can lead to leaks soaking into the foundations of your property. Our expert drain cleaning service will save you money in the long run from having to pay for cracked drain repair or structural damage to your property.

    Frequently Asked Drain Cleaning Questions

    How to keep drains clean?

    To prevent hair, food particles and other debris from entering the drain you can use strainers or stoppers. Another way is to avoid pouring FOGs (fats, oils and grease) down the drain after cooking or during the washing-up process, as these types of contaminants can damage drainage and sewer systems and cause blockages.

    However, the best way to keep your drains clean is to hire professionals here at Cotswold Drainage with our expert drain cleaning and drain jetting services.

    How to clean drainpipes?

    To clean your drainpipes, you can use your hand (but protect your skin by wearing a glove) or a small brush to remove any visible contaminants and discard them properly. Additionally, you can use a plunger to create suction to dislodge any clogs and blockages.

    We always advise you to seek help from professional drain and pipe cleaners like Cotswold Drainage.

    How to clean outside drains?

    You can use a garden hose with a high-pressure nozzle attachment to flush out the drain by directing the water down the drain clearing any accumulated dirt and allowing the drain to flow freely. 

    For more serious issues relating to outside drainage systems, Cotswold Drainage is equipped with high-powered jet systems that can clear numerous build-ups from your outside drains with ease. 

    How to clean smelly drains?

    To clean odorous drains, follow these instructions:

    1. Pour down the drain a mixture of vinegar and baking soda and let the mixture remain for 15 to 30 minutes to allow any organic contaminants or bacteria contributing to the smell to decompose.
    2. To remove the vinegar and baking soda mixture from the drain, run hot water through it.
    3. You can also try pouring a solution of hot water and lemon juice down the drain if the smell doesn’t dissipate.
    4. These solutions can be performed frequently, around once a week, to keep your drains smelling nice and fresh.
      Some contaminants may require more expert solutions to eradicate bad smells. Both commercial and domestic properties can benefit from our drain cleaning services to remove foul odours safely.
    How to clean a shower drain?

    To effectively clean a shower drain, you must first remove the shower drain cover if possible, by either lifting it off or removing it by unwinding the screws with a screwdriver. Next, grab a flashlight or torch of some kind and check for any visible hair or debris near the opening. Hair is one of the most common causes of blocked shower drains, which can be removed by hand or a strong brush. If there is a visible blockage, you can even use a wire hanger to remove it.

    If you are unable to locate the blockage or if it is further down in your shower drain, then do not hesitate to contact us here at Cotswold Drainage.

    Why do I need my drains cleaned?

     Maintenance is an important factor as badly maintained drains can lead to blockages, bad odours, and clogs so, taking care of your drains will prevent any future issues from arising and keep your water flowing smoothly.
