Plumbers 365 is a national drainage and plumbing company with engineers working across the country, including Hemel Hempstead. 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 Hemel Hempstead, 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.

1. Stop using water. No flushing, taps, washing machine or dishwasher. Every litre adds to a system that cannot cope.
2. Keep clear of standing sewage. It carries harmful bacteria. Keep children and pets away from the area.
3. Do not lift manhole covers. Trapped gases and the risk of falling make this genuinely dangerous. Our engineers carry the equipment to do it safely.
4. Move what you can. If the overflow is indoors and it is safe to do so, lift rugs, furniture and anything electrical clear of the water.
5. Call us on 0800 755 5566. The sooner we are on the road, the less damage there is to put right.

Our Hemel Hempstead 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.

Mains water in Hemel Hempstead is provided by Affinity Water and rated very hard.

The usual cause is fat congealing in the waste pipe. Where limescale is a factor it narrows the run and makes blockages routine.

Hemel Hempstead has a good deal of postwar new town housing, most of it drained by clay pipework laid well over a century ago.

Clay pipework fails by cracking rather than wearing out. Roots find the breaks, waste catches on them, and a returning blockage is usually structural damage.

Nothing is quoted until our engineer has assessed the problem, and that normally means a camera inspection rather than guesswork.

Most blockages are cleared on the spot by rodding or high-pressure jetting. If the survey shows a broken drain, you will see the footage and get a repair quote before we go further.

We never bill for the call-out itself, only for the work completed.

Once assessed, the job is quoted at a fixed price which does not move. Overtime, parking and congestion are never charged separately.

Every quote reflects the actual work. Clearing a blockage is straightforward, replacing a collapsed run is not, and you will have the figure before we begin.

After heavy rain we get calls from Adeyfield and Bennetts End about gullies overflowing and water standing where it should be draining away.Around the River Gade and Bulbourne the survey often shows a combination of silt build-up and a run that simply cannot take the volume once the ground is saturated.We jet and vacuum the run clear, lift and clean the gullies, and check the soakaway or connection is doing its job.Drainage copes again by the time we leave. Where the problem is capacity rather than blockage we say so plainly, because more jetting will not fix it.
