Plumbers 365 is a national drainage and plumbing company with engineers working across the country, including Southend-On-Sea. 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 Southend-On-Sea, 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 Southend-On-Sea 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.

Southend-On-Sea is in a very hard water area supplied by Essex and Suffolk Water.

Kitchen fat is the usual culprit. Where the supply leaves scale behind, the pipe narrows and that fat sticks all the more readily.

Older Southend-On-Sea neighbourhoods are largely Victorian and Edwardian seafront, drained by clay pipework of considerable age.

Durable as it is, clay is brittle. Ground movement opens joints, roots follow the moisture in, and what looks like a recurring blockage is often a broken pipe.

On arrival our engineer establishes what is actually causing the problem, generally with a camera, before quoting anything.

Rodding or high-pressure jetting resolves most blockages on the day. If the problem turns out to be a broken drain, we will show you the footage and quote for the repair before proceeding.

No call-out charge applies, regardless of the hour or the day of the week.

Our engineer will quote a fixed price once they have seen the problem, and that is what you pay. There are no additions afterwards for time of day, parking or congestion.

Charges reflect the actual job. Clearing a blockage is one price, excavating a broken drain another, and you will know yours before work commences.

In victorian housing around Southchurch and Westcliff we are sometimes called back to a property that has blocked two or three times in a year despite being cleared each time.That pattern almost always means damage rather than debris, and the camera usually finds a cracked or partially collapsed section holding waste back.We jet the run to restore flow, then survey properly and quote for a patch repair, lining or excavation depending on what the footage shows.Flow is restored immediately, but we are straight that it will recur without the repair. The quote is separate and there is no pressure to take it.
