About Glasgow Drain Unblocker

How this website works

Glasgow Drain Unblocker is a website for people who need drainage help. It covers Glasgow and eight nearby towns. You send one request, and a drainage engineer can then contact you about the job.

The engineer who takes your job agrees the work and the price with you. This website does not do the work itself. So ask for a written quote before you say yes.

The site covers drains only. That means blocked drains, drain unblocking, CCTV surveys, jetting, repairs and emergency drain services. Heating and other plumbing jobs are outside its scope.

In Scotland, you are responsible for the private drain that runs from your home to your property boundary. Scottish Water looks after the public sewer network. So a blockage inside your boundary is usually yours to sort out, while a fault in the public sewer is a job for Scottish Water.

Flats can be different. Shared drains inside the grounds of one block of flats stay private. However, a drain becomes a public sewer when it leaves the grounds of the property. If you rent, Scottish Water suggests a licensed plumber, or your landlord or the council.

The request form is open 24/7, so you can send a request at any time. That does not set a reply time, because each engineer works to their own diary. If your job is urgent, say so in the job details.
