Before you call about a drain
Is the drain yours?
Swale Borough Council's guidance says pipes serving one property inside its boundary remain the homeowner's responsibility. Shared sewers and lateral drains passed to the water companies on 1 October 2011. If the blockage is in a shared pipe, call your water company first.
Get the price first
Ask for the full price before they set off: call-out, the first hour, jetting or rodding, and whether it changes at night or at weekends.
CCTV surveys
A camera survey shows what is wrong inside a pipe. Ask for the video and a written report, which is useful when you buy a house or claim on insurance.
How to check a drainage specialist yourself
GotAPal lists businesses from public records and does not check or vet them. Before you hire, do these checks yourself. They take a few minutes.
- If the drainage specialist trades as a limited company, look it up on Companies House: check it is active and the name and address match.
- Ask for their public liability insurance certificate and check the dates on it.
- Get a written quote that lists the work, materials, price and when payment is due.
- Never pay a large sum up front. Pay in stages tied to work done.
- Ask for the price in writing before work starts, including call-out and any jetting.
- Companies House: search the register: Free to search. Shows whether a limited company is active, when it was set up and who runs it.
- Swale Borough Council: private sewer transfer: Which drains are yours and which the water company looks after, since 1 October 2011.

Who is responsible for a blocked drain?
Swale Borough Council's guidance says a pipe serving only your property, inside your boundary, is yours. Shared sewers and lateral drains passed to the water companies on 1 October 2011, so a blockage there is the water company's to clear.
Does GotAPal check the drainage specialists it lists?
No. GotAPal lists businesses from public records and does not vet them. Check a limited company on Companies House, ask for proof of insurance, and check any trade body membership on that body's own website.
