Frequently asked questions

You can book a drainage specialist or drainage engineer for any drainage or pipework outside your home. Some common drainage specialist tasks include:

  • Outside drain unblocking
  • Drain jetting
  • Guttering repairs
  • Drain excavations
  • CCTV drain surveys
  • Manhole repairs & replacements
  • Drain repairs & installation
  • Outside pipe repair & replacements

If you need any work done on drains inside your home, you can book a plumber or other tradesperson through Housekeep. They can complete tasks including:

  • Drain unblocking – for sinks, toilets, showers & all other drains
  • Pipe repairs & replacement – including fixing leaking indoor pipes, or investigating noisy pipes
  • Gutter clearing

Unsure which tradesperson you need? That's no problem. Just let us know what you need done and we'll match you with the best tradesperson for the job.

There's lots of crossover between drainage engineers and plumbers. Both work with pipes that transport water & waste. And lots of tradespeople have experience and training in both disciplines.

The main difference is that plumbers work with the water flow inside your home. So they're great for tasks like unblocking toilets or showers, or fixing a leak under the kitchen sink.

Drainage specialists tend to work with the drains and pipework outdoors. Tasks like excavation - that might be required to fix large outdoor waste pipes - would need a specialist drainage engineer, rather than a plumber. They can also provide specialist equipment for CCTV drainage surveys, drain jetting & other drainage services.

If you're not sure whether you need a drainage specialist, a plumber, or another tradesperson, that's no problem. We've got tried & trusted local tradespeople in all disciplines. Just let us know about the job and we'll match you with an experienced & vetted tradesperson.

When you book in, let us know what you need and we'll give you a price for a drainage specialist near you. If you'd like to go ahead, we'll take a payment to secure your slot.

You'll be charged for any extra time or materials after the job's complete.

Our drainage specialists are WJA Approved. We also collect reviews and feedback after every job to make sure our drainage engineers are 5* quality.

Really pleased with this job. Plumber was professional, friendly and considerate. He turned up early and did his best to meet my pricing needs for the parts, and installed them very quickly. Problem was fixed and I'm overall really happy with the speed and efficiency of the service via housekeep and the quality of the job from the plumber.

Absolutely incredible, efficient and friendly service from our gardener today. Remarkable work ethic and powered through it. I would have believed it if I was told a team of three did the work our gardener undertook in just a few hours.

Very good job, I was out when engineer arrived, but he waited outside for me to come back, and did very good job, with many spare keys, and all the new keys and locks work and are even smooth lubricated and the locks turn well and easily. Very happy.
