Round-the-clock drain unblocking and repairs across Newbury and West Berkshire. Five-star rated, fully insured, and we quote a clear price before we start.
24hrs Drainage covers Newbury and the surrounding villages around the clock, every day of the year, for homes and businesses. Our engineers clear blocked drains, repair pipes without digging, and inspect drainage with CCTV cameras. Every job is quoted with a clear price before we start, and every engineer is fully insured and Checkatrade verified.
If your drains have backed up in Newbury, we can be on our way to you at any hour, day or night. A blocked drain does not wait for office hours, and neither do we.
24hrs Drainage works across the whole of Newbury, from the older terraces near the town centre to the newer estates on the edge of town, and out to Thatcham, Hungerford, and the villages between. Newbury sits in the Kennet valley at the foot of the Berkshire Downs, on chalk ground with a high water table. That setting brings its own drainage problems, and we see them again and again, so we arrive knowing what to look for.
We handle both homes and businesses, and we carry the kit to deal with most jobs in a single visit. A blocked toilet in a flat near Northbrook Street, a flooded yard at a Greenham business unit, a grease-clogged kitchen drain at a town-centre restaurant: we have cleared all of them, and we will tell you in plain words what is wrong and what it will cost before we touch a tool.
Whatever the problem, whatever the time, we’ve got the tools and the experience to sort it.
Newbury is a busy commercial town, and a drainage problem can shut a business down fast. We work with shops, restaurants, and offices in the town centre, units on Greenham Business Park, care homes, GP surgeries, schools, and the racecourse.
Food outlets fill grease traps and block shared drains, and care homes and schools cannot afford a day with the toilets out of action. We offer planned maintenance contracts that keep your drains flowing and your site open, with priority response if something does go wrong. One backup should never become a closure.
We are on the road within minutes of your call. Our base near Reading is around 30 to 40 minutes from Newbury via the A4 and M4, and for emergencies we leave straight away.
We quote you a fixed price before we lift a tool, so the figure we agree is the figure you pay. No hidden charges, no clock running, no surprise add-ons at the end.
You talk to the person doing the work, not a call centre. Carlo and the team explain the problem, the fix, and the cost in plain English, and we never push work you do not need.
From a single blocked drain in a flat to a maintenance contract for a chain of care homes, we are set up for both. Landlords and letting agents across Newbury use us regularly.
We carry public liability insurance, follow all health and safety rules, and clean up properly before we leave. Our Checkatrade profile is open for anyone to check.
Step 1: Call us or book online. It takes two minutes.
Step 2: We arrive, find the problem, and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Step 3: We clear or repair it, and you only pay once the job is done.
Most people just want a rough idea of the cost before they call, so here it is. Across Newbury, a standard drain unblock with high-pressure jetting usually falls somewhere between roughly £100 and £300+ (varies upon job), and out-of-hours or more complex jobs can sit higher. A camera survey and a no-dig repair are priced on the job.
The final figure depends on a few things: how bad the blockage is and where it sits, whether the inspection chambers are easy to reach, the time of day, and whether the pipe itself is damaged rather than simply blocked. If we open the drain and find a bigger problem, we stop and talk you through it before doing anything else.
Once we have looked, we give you one clear, fixed price. You agree it before any work begins, and there are no extras tacked on at the end. Every quote is personalised to the issue, prices will vary.
Newbury sits on chalk, which gives the town very hard water. Over time, calcium and other minerals build up inside pipes, narrowing them and slowing the flow until the drain starts to struggle. Descaling strips the build-up back and restores the pipe to its full width.
The chalk under Newbury acts like a sponge, holding rainwater and releasing it slowly as groundwater. After a long wet spell the water table rises and groundwater seeps into pipes through cracks and joints, which overloads the system and causes blockages that keep returning. West Berkshire saw this clearly in the winter of 2013 to 2014.
Yes. Newbury sits where the River Kennet meets the River Lambourn, and the floodplain runs right through the town. The Northcroft Lane area and the land south of the A4 are known risk spots, the town flooded badly in July 2007, and the Kennet hit its highest recorded level at Newbury in January 2024. You can check the long-term flood risk for the area on the government’s flood service.
Many homes near the town centre date from the Victorian era and still have their original clay pipe drains, now well over a century old. Clay pipes crack, joints come apart, and roots find their way in. If your home is from that era and the drains have never been surveyed, it is worth a look.
They do. Newer estates around Newbury often share adopted drains and rely on soakaways, and blockages from build debris, fat, and wet wipes are common in the first few years. A camera survey quickly shows whether a fault is yours or shared.
We cover the whole of Newbury, including Wash Common, Shaw, Speen, Donnington, Greenham, and Enborne, along with Thatcham, Hungerford, and the surrounding villages. We are based near Reading, which gives us quick access to Newbury via the A4 and M4, and we also look after neighbouring Burghfield and the towns in between.

Yes. We work with shops, restaurants, offices, care homes, GP surgeries, and schools across Newbury, including planned maintenance contracts with priority response. Both domestic and commercial jobs are part of our day-to-day work.
Several reasons sit behind it. The chalk ground gives hard water that scales up pipes, groundwater seeps in after wet weather, and a lot of older homes still have aged clay pipes that crack and let roots in.
In many cases, yes. Our no-dig lining forms a new pipe inside the old one with no excavation, and we survey the pipe with a camera first to confirm it is suitable.
Yes. We respond to tenant emergencies, carry out scheduled maintenance, and provide CCTV reports for your records, across the Newbury area.
