AST Transport runs a genuine round-the-clock drain unblocking service across the Midlands and the UK. One phone call reaches a person who can send a vehicle, and we turn up with the equipment to finish the job on the first visit.
Our operators clear silt, grease, scale, debris and root growth with high-pressure water jetting, then run a CCTV camera through the line if you want to know why it blocked and whether it will happen again.
What is included
- Emergency call-outs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year
- Blocked drains, toilets, sinks, gullies and manholes
- Sewers, culverts, pumping stations and large-bore pipelines
- High-pressure jetting with remote root and scale cutting
- Vac-pac vans for domestic work, vactor units for high-volume jobs
- Off-road units for hard-to-reach locations
- Optional CCTV inspection once the blockage is cleared
The right unit, first time
A household blockage and a silted trunk sewer need different tools. Our fleet runs from van-mounted vac-pac jetters, built for domestic drains and tight access, to high-volume combination units that jet at up to 95 gallons a minute and lift heavy sludge and solids into a 2,000-gallon tank.
Because we own and maintain every vehicle, we send the right one rather than the nearest one.
Clear it, then explain it
Jetting removes the blockage. A CCTV survey tells you why it happened. When a drain keeps blocking we recommend a camera inspection to find the root ingress, fracture or bellied section behind it, and we quote for a permanent fix.
Awkward access
Our off-road and 6x6 units reach drains, culverts and lagoons that a standard truck cannot, and long hose runs keep heavy vehicles off delicate ground.
Questions we get asked
How quickly can you get to me?
Our lines are answered 24 hours a day and we dispatch from our Midlands base, minutes from the M5. Tell us it is urgent and we will prioritise it.
Will jetting damage my pipes?
No. Our operators match pressure, flow and nozzle to the pipe. High-pressure jetting is the standard, non-invasive method used across the water industry.
Do you clear blocked toilets and sinks?
Yes, where the blockage is in the drain rather than the appliance trap. We also clear gullies, downpipes, soakaways, interceptors and manholes.
Can you tell me why it keeps blocking?
Yes. After clearing the line we can survey it with a camera and give you a report with any defects and a repair quote.
