Guide to drain unblocking

What is included

  • Initial drain inspection.
  • Standard unblocking of one accessible drain: sink, kitchen, shower, toilet or main domestic drain.
  • Basic tools.
  • Final flow test.
  • No aggressive chemicals without your approval.

What is not included

  • CCTV inspection, high-pressure jetting and tanker services.
  • Work on the communal sewer network.
  • Professional drain snake and advanced unblocking, available as paid extras.

How long it takes

Fixed price by drain type, with an expected time of 2 hours per visit. A trap blocked by hair or grease often clears quickly; a blockage further down the pipe may need the drain snake or advanced unblocking.

What the price depends on

  • The type of drain: sink, kitchen, shower, toilet or main drain.
  • The tools needed: the professional drain snake and advanced unblocking are separate extras.
  • Any additional cost, explained and approved before the work.

On Cura24h this service currently starts from €79; you see the exact price in the app before you confirm.

How to prepare your home

  • Stop using the blocked drain and do not pour more water into it.
  • Empty the cabinet under the sink and clear the space around the toilet or shower.
  • Say in the notes if you have already used drain cleaners: the professional needs to know.

Checklist before the visit

  • Correct drain type chosen.
  • Products already used reported.
  • Work area clear.
  • Bucket and cloths at hand.

Common mistakes

  • Pouring caustic soda or acids into old drains or drains already full of water.
  • Flushing wipes, cotton buds or frying oil down the toilet or sink.
  • Plunging a toilet that is about to overflow.

FAQ

Questions about Drain Unblocking

Does it work if the blockage is in the building's shared pipes?

The service covers the drains of your flat. If the problem is in the shared stack or the communal sewer, report it to the building manager: that work is not included.

Do you offer urgent call-outs?

Bookings are made at least 12 hours ahead; the app also offers a paid same-day urgent service extra. If water is escaping, close the main valve straight away.

How is it different from a plumber by the hour?

Drain unblocking has a fixed price by drain type. A plumber by the hour suits several small jobs, such as a tap to replace and a leaking trap.
