Downpipe Unblocking in Newton-le-Willows
Blocked downpipes cleared properly — outlets, shoes and drain runs unblocked and water-tested so your gutters drain freely again.
A single blocked downpipe can make an entire gutter run overflow, even when the gutters themselves are clean. Leaves, moss and silt wash down and compact at the outlet, the shoe, or where the pipe meets the underground drain — and from the ground, all you see is water pouring over the top.
Our downpipe unblocking service clears the blockage at every level: the outlet into the pipe, the full length of the downpipe, the shoe at the bottom, and the connection into the drain. We then water-test the whole run so you can see it draining freely.
Why Choose Our Downpipe Unblocking Service
Cleared at every level
We clear the outlet, the pipe, the shoe and the drain connection — not just the visible bit.
Water-tested proof
Every downpipe is flushed and watched draining freely before we call the job done.
Stops gutter overflow
Most 'blocked gutter' overflows are actually blocked downpipes. Clearing them fixes the real cause.
Protects foundations
A blocked downpipe dumps water at the base of your walls. Clearing it protects brickwork and foundations.
No-dig first approach
Most blockages clear without excavation. If a drain is genuinely collapsed, we tell you honestly.

Downpipe Unblocking FAQs
We rod the pipe from top and bottom, flush it with water, and clear the shoe and drain connection. Stubborn blockages may need the pipe temporarily disconnected at a joint — we always refit and reseal it.
