Blocked drains – one of the most common problems

Blocked drains are one of the most common maintenance problems experienced by both homes and businesses and can cause serious damage to a property, downtime and costs for a business and much inconvenience if left unattended. 

A blocked drain may not be obvious until urgent action is required. Rising wastewater from drains or manhole covers on your property is an obvious sign of a blockage. Bad odours, slow drainage in toilets, showers, baths and sinks and gurgling noises from plugholes, toilets, pipes and drains are an early warning of a problem and immediate action should be taken.

Consultancy

Andel offers a turnkey consultancy service for new developments and abnormal drainage issues, providing a fully project-managed drainage design, installation and maintenance package.

Frequently asked questions


Regular maintenance prevents blockages, reduces flood and pollution risk and helps you stay compliant with environmental regulations, avoiding fines and clean-up costs. At Andel, our nationwide service means you’re covered across England, Scotland and Wales.

We recommend a two-tier inspection schedule: a simple surface inspection every six months and a full integrity inspection (including deep clean/CCTV) every five years. This aligns with industry guidance and provides you with audit-ready records.

Our comprehensive service includes: full cleaning and emptying of tanks, silt/oil removal, CCTV internal survey, alarm testing, control system check, and submission of detailed compliance reporting. All to ensure your system remains efficient, safe and reliable.

Yes. We provide full documentation and certification after each service – giving you clear, audit-ready evidence of inspection, cleaning and remedial action if required. It takes the burden off your team and gives peace of mind.

With a planned contract, you secure regular scheduled visits, priority call-out, monitoring of alarms and full system health reviews. This proactive approach minimises business disruption, extends system life and avoids costly emergency downtime.

Drain unblocking and CCTV surveys address general site drainage issues (blockages, tree-roots, pipe failures). Interceptor maintenance focuses on hydrocarbon separators, silt/oil accumulation and the “last line of defence” against pollution. At Andel we provide both under one integrated service.

Yes. Our fleet of 'green' Jet Vac tankers includes integrated grey-water recycling systems so that only true waste is disposed. We minimise waste volumes, cut your disposal cost and support sustainable water-management practices on-site.

Indeed. We offer 24/7 rapid-response call-out for urgent incidents, with mobilised teams to contain risk, conduct remedial cleaning and provide you with the necessary incident report. This ensures your site is back under control quickly and with documented record for compliance.

Yes – although no single law states this word-for-word, UK legislation including the Building Regulations 2010 (Part H) and the Environmental Protection Act 1990 requires operators to know and maintain accurate records of their foul and surface water drainage systems. Keeping an up-to-date drainage plan is therefore a legal expectation and best-practice standard to demonstrate compliance, support maintenance, and ensure rapid response in the event of a spill or pollution incident.
