Plumbers 365 is a national drainage and plumbing company with engineers working across the country, including Ramsgate. 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 Ramsgate, 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 Ramsgate 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 Ramsgate is provided by Southern Water and rated hard.

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

Ramsgate has a good deal of Georgian and Victorian seafront 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.

What you are charged depends on the fault and the time of attendance. Either way, the figure is agreed before a tool comes out of the van.

Blocked drain in Ramsgate? 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 georgian property around St Lawrence and Newington the call often comes early morning, with waste water backing up into the ground floor of a mid-terrace.In older drainage the camera commonly finds root ingress through a cracked joint, with debris catching on the damage rather than passing over it.We cut the roots back and jet the run clear, then record the footage so the householder can see the damaged section for themselves rather than take our word for it.Drainage is restored the same morning. We quote a lining repair separately to stop the roots returning, and leave the decision with the customer.
