Blocked Gully Drains FAQ

How quickly can a drain unblocker near me respond to an emergency?

We understand how frustrating a blocked drain can be, which is why we offer 24/7 emergency callouts. In most cases, we can arrive the same day to assess and resolve the issue quickly, ensuring minimal disruption to your home or business.

What is a gully drain?

A gully drain is an outdoor drain that collects rainwater and wastewater from surfaces like driveways, patios, and kitchens, funnelling it safely into the underground drainage system.

What causes a gully drain to block?

Common causes include leaves, soil, litter, grease, and general outdoor debris building up over time. These materials can clog the grating and trap, stopping water from draining properly.

How do I know if my gully is blocked?

If you notice water pooling near your drains, strange smells, or slow drainage after rainfall, chances are your gully is partially or fully blocked and needs attention.

Can RAW unblock my driveway gully?

Yes! RAW specialises in clearing all types of gully drains, whether it’s a blocked driveway gully, yard gully, or stormwater gully. We have the tools and experience to get it flowing again quickly.

Do you offer regular gully cleaning?

Absolutely. Regular gully maintenance helps prevent build-up and long-term damage, keeping your drainage system working efficiently and avoiding costly repairs later.

Great Service

My job was posted at 2.30pm and this Company contacted me, within minutes. The plumber arrived on time, was cheerful and courteous. I was pleased, relieved and most of all astonished at how little it cost. I will definitely use this company again.

Repair to leaking toilet cistern

RAW was the first company to contact me for this job. Communication was very straightforward and clear. Mark carried out a thorough assessment of the problem, was able to source the parts needed to fix it at short notice, and had the whole thing re-sealed with a fresh donut installed within an hour.

Superfast call-out on a Saturday

Had a non-flushing downstairs toilet. Sent a message through Checkatrade and got a call back within about 10 mins. Had their engineer, Richie, looking at it within about 90 mins! Richie was really kind, helpful and thorough. Very polite and knowledgeable too. I would absolutely recommend RAW and look forward to using them again. Thanks, lads!

New drain and drain repair

Had issues plumbing in a new washing machine because the water overflowed into the cupboard when we tried it. Believed it to be blocked. Now been informed by RAW that it's a descaling issue which is the next stage of work to be done.
