Drain Repair Experts
It is not always necessary to excavate to repair a damaged drain and in these instances, we will always try to utilise our state of the art methods of repair to ensure the least possible stress and disruption to you.
When possible we will reline the drain using a soft lining which can be put into the drain without excavation. This is then hardened using a chemical process which then renews the integrity of the pipeline ensuring that it is watertight.

Is your toilet blocked? We know what a problem blocked toilets can be and that you need them unblocked quickly, so we offer a 1 hour response time in and around the M25 to unblock your toilets, inspect, and solve your drainage issues. Usually, the blockage is straightforward however we also offer CCTV drain surveys to help locate more complex issues with your drainage system, if the problem with your toilet is persistent/ongoing.

Pump Repair, Installation & Maintenance
Sewage pumps are required when drainage is below the level of the main drain, for example in the basement of a building. Even some ground floor buildings are below the level of the main drain, or at least too far away from it to have enough fall to be able to gravity feed into it. These buildings will usually have a sewage pump station to collect the sewage and pump it up into the drain.
Gully Cleaning & Tanker Services
First Response Drainage offers tanker services, from gully cleaning to waste removal from septic tanks/cesspits including jetting residential and commercial drains to remove debris. We can remove waste and leave your cesspit clear of debris by giving it a good clean.

Can’t recommend First Response Drainage highly enough. I had a problem with seepage in my garden which turned out to be from tree roots growing into my sewage pipes. They sorted out the problem replacing pipework in no time at all, and all at a price I was pleasantly surprised by. Five stars *****
Thank you very much First Response! My toilet became blocked on the day of my son’s 4th birthday party and I was so stressed! As soon as I phoned First Response impressed me with their service. Friendly, Fast, Tidy and value for money.
I had a very very blocked kitchen sink. I phoned First Response and they arrived promptly and fixed it in no time. The service was friendly and the person who came to fix was tidy and friendly.
“After a very unsatisfactory experience with another drainage company it was an absolute pleasure to deal with FirstResponse. The attending engineer ( Russ ) was extremely helpful and cleared the problem quickly and efficiently at the minimum cost. I would absolutely use this company again and recommend others to do so”
“Excellent experience. The engineer came and checked the leak found out was unrelated to drainage and only charged for the check. Didn’t try to get any extra. Really friendly and courteous. I would definitely use again if required.”
“Andy was amazing & can’t thank him enough. Very knowledgeable, cleared our blockage with his trusty jet! Happy customer.”
“Phoned Andy about coming out to look at a blocked drain and he gave us advice instead of costing us money we didn’t need to spend out, he gave us directions on who to call and was extremely helpful and friendly. Absolutely top service”
“Lewis was friendly and helpful. He provided additional advice on future drain maintenance.”
“Lewis was friendly and helpful. He provided additional advice on future drain maintenaa”The problem was unblocking a very old toilet which had a lot of scale but also the stack pipe externally had a plant/roots growing inside which was blocking the pipe. The drainage engineer Darren Poulter worked very hard to remove the plant and also flush out the scale. He also left instructions about what to do in future.”nce.”
“From initial call to having our toilet unblocked was less than 2 hours. Very impressive speed and a job well done. Will recommend and happily use again if needed.”
“The stars tell the story. Dramatic drain blockage on Saturday evening, seven people staying in house sewage coming up through manhole (lovely !!). found First Response through google. Immediate response. Within the hour at 9.45 p.m drainage specialist arrived with all equipment and drain cleared within 15 minutes. Obviously expensive as it was Saturday evening but worth every penny ( pound !!) Many thanks. Marian”
