Available 24/7, 365 days a year - with no additional fees for callouts on evenings, weekends or bank holidays
Plumbers 365 is a national drainage and plumbing company with engineers working across the country, including Colchester. We handle everything from a slow-draining kitchen sink to a collapsed sewer, and we do it around the clock — there is no separate out-of-hours company and no answering service between you and an engineer.
Our teams are fully insured and DBS-checked, and the vans carry jetting equipment, drainage cameras and repair kit as standard, so most jobs are finished on the first visit rather than booked in for a second. We are members of the NADC and the FSB, and our work is backed by our own guarantee.
Whatever the problem in Colchester, you will get a fixed price before we start and no call-out charge. Call 0800 755 5566 and we will tell you honestly how quickly we can be with you.
Our Colchester engineers cover the full town and the surrounding area, with vans positioned so that most callouts are reached inside a 60 to 90 minute window. We work around the clock, including weekends and bank holidays, and there is no call-out charge whatever time you ring.
If you are just outside the areas listed below, call us anyway on 0800 755 5566. We will tell you honestly how long we would be rather than quoting a time we cannot keep.

The supply across Colchester is very hard water from Essex and Suffolk Water.
Fat, wipes and food waste account for most of what we pull out of a drain. Limescale, where the supply produces it, compounds the problem.
The bulk of Colchester’s older housing is Victorian terraced and postwar, with clay drain runs that predate anyone currently living there.
Clay drainage is long-lived but unforgiving of movement. Once a joint opens, roots follow, and a survey normally shows ingress rather than an ordinary blockage.
The engineer inspects before quoting, and in most cases that means putting a camera down to see the fault directly.
Rodding and jetting deal with the majority of blockages immediately. Should the camera find structural damage, we will show you exactly what we have seen and quote the repair separately.
There is no fee for attending, so the only cost is the work itself.
Once we know what is wrong, you get a fixed price before work begins, and it stays fixed. Nothing is tacked on at the end.
The final cost depends on what is causing the problem. Straightforward blockages are quick and cheap, structural repairs are neither, and both are quoted up front.
Blocked drain in Colchester? We are on call now. No call-out fee, fixed prices, and an engineer who can be with you in 60 to 90 minutes. Call 0800 755 5566.
