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

Ipswich is served by Anglian Water, whose water here is hard, measuring around 250 ppm calcium carbonate, according to their own published hardness data.

Scale deposits from harder water steadily close down waste pipes, so grease and food waste cause blockages far earlier than they would elsewhere.

Ipswich is well supplied with Victorian terraced and postwar semi-detached housing, and the clay drainage beneath it is of similar age.

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.

Diagnosis comes before pricing. Our engineer normally runs a camera through the run so we know exactly what we are dealing with.

The bulk of blockages clear with rodding or jetting straight away. If the survey shows a break or collapse, you will see it on screen and receive a separate quote first.

Attendance is never charged for. You pay only for what we actually do.

The price is fixed before work starts and does not move. There are no later additions for overtime, parking or congestion.

Every job is priced on what is actually wrong. A simple blockage and a collapsed pipe are different propositions, and you will know the cost up front regardless.

Blocked drain in Ipswich? 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.

In the victorian terraced streets around Chantry and Gainsborough the usual call comes in the evening, with a downstairs toilet backing up and a smell rising from the outside gully.On jobs like these the camera almost always finds fat and wipes bound together a few metres along the shared run, resting on a joint that has shifted over the years.We clear it with high-pressure jetting, normally inside the hour, then re-survey the run to check the joint underneath is not cracked or leaking.Flow is back to normal the same evening. Where the survey shows a displaced joint we quote a patch repair separately, and it is entirely up to the householder whether to go ahead.
