Blocked drains
Help with toilets, sinks and drainage problems.
Do you help with blocked toilets and sinks?
Yes. Flo-Rite helps with blocked toilets, sinks and drainage pipes. Tell us which fittings are affected, whether water is draining slowly or backing up, and whether the problem has happened before.
Why does my drain keep blocking?
Recurring blockages can have several causes, including a build-up inside the pipe or a damaged section of drainage. The cause needs to be identified before choosing a lasting repair. Let us know how often it happens and which parts of the property are affected.
Does a blocked drain always need digging up?
No. The right approach depends on the cause and condition of the pipe. A blockage may be cleared without excavation, while suitable damaged sections may be repaired with drain relining or a no-dig patch.
Can I send photos before arranging a visit?
Yes. You can email photos of the affected area to Info@flo-rite.uk, along with a description and your location. Photos can help us understand the issue, although an inspection may still be needed.
Drain relining & repairs
Understanding repairs made from inside the pipe.
What is drain relining?
Drain relining repairs suitable damaged drainage pipes from within. A liner is installed inside the existing pipe, allowing repairs to be made without excavating the full pipe run. Suitability depends on the damage and the condition of the drain.
What is a no-dig patch repair?
A patch repair targets a damaged section of pipe. The patch is installed inside the existing drain to seal that area, helping avoid the disruption of digging up gardens, driveways or floors where this method is suitable.
Can every damaged drain be repaired without digging?
Not every drain is suitable. The extent of the damage, pipe condition and access all affect the options. We’ll assess the issue and explain whether relining, a patch repair or another approach is appropriate.
Do your patch repairs come with a guarantee?
Yes. Flo-Rite offers a lifetime guarantee on the integrity of every patch we install. Ask us about the guarantee details when discussing your repair.
