It’s not a pleasant job, but someone has to do it! Drainflow engineers have been fixing Bedfordshire’s blocked toilets for over 20 years now. Customers sometimes get embarrassed about calling us in to fix a blocked toilet. But it really isn’t an issue for us. In this blog we explain why getting the professional in is a better option than attempting DIY on your loo.
A blocked drain is never a pleasant thing for householders to deal with – but if it’s inside, at least you know it’s your problem. When the blocked drain is outside your house there’s the added uncertainty of whether or not it’s your responsibility. At Drainflow we see too many blocked drains left to get worse, simply because no-one makes the move to get it cleared.
A blocked drain, whether it’s inside or outside, needs to be dealt with fast. Otherwise a small blockage can turn into a major problem to deal with. There’s a simple way to determine whether a drain belongs to you. If it’s within the boundary of your property, it’s a private drain and your responsibility. If it’s outside the boundary of your property you may want to alert your local council to the problem.
It’s a big moment for Brentford FC; they’ve played their last game at the old stadium – Griffin Park – and are poised to begin the 20/21 season in their new stadium just a mile up the road. The Brentford Community Stadium is right next to Kew Bridge station and has a seating capacity of 17,250. It’ll also provide a home to a professional rugby team, and attract huge numbers of sports fans into the local area.
Roundabouts, concrete cows and parking hell – these are the things that most people know about Milton Keynes. But when you work there regularly, as the Drainflow team do, you find out lots of other things, too. Like the number of lakes – 15 in all – that clock up more shoreline than Jersey. Or the fact that WD-40 is made there. And who knew that there’s a Milton Keynes Monopoly!!
Milton Keynes is also one of the UK’s fastest growing cities, which is one of the reasons why we find ourselves working there so regularly. Drainflow gets called in to deal with a range of drain clearance problems for businesses, construction and domestic customers. The most common problems we deal with requires the clearance of blockages in stack and waste pipes.
Located in Bedfordshire but leaning towards London, Luton is famous for its airport, its retail and its amazing international carnival. Over the past 50 years Luton has become the gateway to Europe and beyond for many holiday-makers. For those of us not taking to the skies, however, it’s a lively, ambitious and buzzing corner of the county. Luton’s taken a few knocks over the years – but it always comes back fighting, which is what we love about the town.
For the Drainflow team, Luton is our most visited destination and we’ve unblocked thousands of drains in the town, over the years. Lutonians tends to be resourceful and many of them try home remedies before calling us out. These often lead to a temporary respite, and then the smells and blockages return. We would always recommend that you get a professional eye on blocked drains. You never know when a blockage could be the result of deep-lying problems in your drainage system.
