If you’ve noticed a build-up of leaves and debris on top of your drain covers, it may be a good idea to consider unblocking your drains yourself. You can do this relatively easily, simply by scooping up any unwanted material from the surface using a bucket and rubber gloves.
Nevertheless, if the blockage is more severe, you may need to lift the drain cover using a screwdriver. You can then reach in and remove any debris manually. We recommend never going past your elbow at the very furthest, as this can be both dangerous and unhygienic. If the blockage is any worse, it’s time to call in the experts.
Likewise, if the driveway to your Redditch home or business is already flooded with foul-smelling water, don’t waste any time and call Cotswold Drainage today. Our professional Redditch drain-cleaning team will know exactly what to do to unclog your outside drains and carries all the equipment required to deal with the issue there and then.
In addition to responding to urgent drain cleaning callouts, we provide a range of other drain and sewer services in Redditch, including regular drain surveys and maintenance. In fact, we offer a free CCTV survey with each of our callouts, providing you with an affordable opportunity to keep an eye on your drains for the foreseeable future.
If your shower drain is blocked in Redditch, the first thing to do is identify the cause of the problem. This may be obvious – such as a build-up of hair in the plug hole – or could be more difficult to diagnose. For instance, there may be an accumulation of hair and other bathroom products further down the pipework.
There are a range of commercial products available to attempt to dissolve such blockages yourself, all of which can be purchased at a typical UK store or supermarket. Failing this, you could attempt to use a drain snake to push and break up any blockages or use a homemade solution of hot water and vinegar.
If this still doesn’t work, it’s time to seek professional assistance. Here at Cotswold Drainage, we provide a range of drain cleaning services across Redditch and can be there to assist within 24 hours for more urgent problems.
The way you should go about cleaning your drains will ultimately depend on where they are located. For instance, outdoor drains are likely to require the removal of physical debris, such as leaves, twigs and mud. Meanwhile, kitchen drains could be clogged as a result of FOG (fats, oils and grease), whilst bathroom drains are likely to be clogged by hair and a build-up of soapy products.
To clean your dirty outdoor drain, simply grab a bucket and some rubber gloves and begin to pick out any easily-accessible debris with your hand. For indoor drains, look for a suitable drain unblocking product at your local supermarket or pour down a homemade solution of hot water and vinegar to try to loosen the blockage.
If the above strategies fail to work, it’s likely that you are dealing with a blocked drain rather than just a dirty one. It’s important to note that leaving the problem will only make it worse and it’s unlikely to go away on its own. As such, we would highly recommend calling in an expert drain cleaning service at this stage. Cotswold Drainage is local to the Redditch area and can meet all your drain cleaning requirements in the Redditch area both quickly and efficiently.
Yes, of course! Cotswold Drainage provides a specialist Redditch drain cleaning service, including urgent, 24-hour callouts.

Your kitchen sink will naturally suffer from a build-up of grease and grime through regular use. If you’ve noticed that water is taking longer to go down the drain or perhaps you’re aware of a foul smell, it’s time to clean your kitchen drain.
The simplest and most cost-effective way of doing so is by pouring a mixture of vinegar and baking soda down your kitchen sink. This should typically be enough to dissolve any unwanted residue. We also recommend using baking soda to clean the inside of your kitchen sink on a weekly basis, as part of your regular cleaning routine, to keep things as healthy as possible.
Failing this, you may wish to purchase a foaming or enzymatic cleaner from your local supermarket. Simply follow the instructions on the bottle and with a bit of luck, your kitchen drains should be back to normal. If the problem continues to persist, we recommend calling in the experts like the team at Cotswold Drainage to deal with the issue. If you continue to ignore it or try to treat it unsuccessfully yourself, you could end up with an even more serious kitchen drain blockage, which would be much more costly and unpleasant to fix.
