What is included in root removal from drains
The questions about money come first, so here is what the price covers and what it does not add.

You pay for the work, not for us turning up.

If we find more work, we explain it and price it first. You choose now or later.
No hidden extras

Checked clear before we leave

The correct method for the drain
The method is chosen to suit the pipe in front of us, not the same tool every time.
Site cleaned, tidied and sanitised

What drain root removal costs
Ring first and ask
No two root problems are the same job: how much root there is and where it sits in the drain both change the work. So we give the price on the phone rather than print a figure that may not fit your drain. The price we agree before we start is the price you pay, unless you approve extra work.
- Free quotes, no obligation
- The agreed price is the price you pay
- Extra work only with your say-so

The things people ask before they book
Answered here, so nobody has to ask when we arrive.
Will I be charged more at the end than I was told?
The price we agree before we start is the price you pay, unless you approve extra work. If we find more, we explain it and price it first.
Will the roots just grow back?
They can, if the pipe is still open to them. That is why we diagnose the cause, and recommend a camera survey where it is needed, agreed with you first.
Will you leave a mess?
Every site is left cleaned, tidied and sanitised.
Root removal questions we get asked
The questions people ask before they ring, answered straight.
How much does drain root removal cost?
Ring us and ask. Quotes are free, and for most jobs we give you the price, or our labour rate, before we set off. The price we agree before we start is the price you pay, unless you approve extra work.
Is there a call-out fee for root removal from drains?
No. You pay for the work, not for us turning up. Every charge, including waste disposal, parking and VAT, is stated clearly up front, before any work starts.
Will the roots grow back after you remove them?
They can, if the pipe is still open to them. We cannot promise they will not return until we have seen what let them in, so we diagnose the cause on site and recommend a camera survey where it is needed. You decide whether to go ahead.
How do I know if tree roots are in my drain?
The only way to be sure is to look. We diagnose on site and, where it is needed, recommend a camera survey and send you the footage, photos and a written report. It is priced and agreed with you before it happens.
How quickly can you get to me?
We aim to be with you within 60 minutes, and we'll give you an arrival time when you call. We will not put a time on how long the clear itself takes until we have seen the drain, and we will tell you once we have.
Do you do tree root removal near me in Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire?

What is going on
Root removal: why the blockage keeps coming back
A drain that runs slowly, gurgles or blocks again soon after it was cleared may have roots in it. Roots can get into a pipe through a crack or a displaced joint, and once they are in they tend to catch whatever else is passing. Clearing the blockage without cutting the roots out only buys time. Our drain root removal cuts the roots back out of the pipe, and we diagnose the cause on site, so you know whether it looks like a one-off or something likely to return. Based in Ringwood, we work across Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire.
- Diagnosed on site, so you hear the cause first

- Camera survey only where needed, priced and agreed first
Roots that have grown into a drain pipeWhat you can see, and whether roots are the cause
Symptoms people ring about, what may be behind them, and what we do about it.
A drain that keeps blocking after it has been cleared
What it actually isRoots left in the pipe, or a crack or displaced joint letting new ones in.
What it needsWe cut the roots out, and recommend a camera survey if it keeps happening. Priced and agreed first.
Sinks, baths and toilets draining slowly
What it actually isRoots narrowing the pipe are one possible cause, but not the only one.
What it needsWe diagnose on site first. If it is roots we cut them out. If it is not, we tell you and deal with the real cause.
Gurgling or bubbling from drains
What it actually isA partly blocked pipe, and roots may be behind it.
What it needsWe find out which on site, and explain what we find before any work goes ahead.
Roots showing in a manhole or chamber
What it actually isThey have found a way into the run, so the pipe may be letting them in.
What it needsWe cut them back and check the pipe, with a camera survey recommended if damage is suspected.
Not sure which yours is? Ring us and describe it, and we will tell you whether it sounds like roots before we come out.
Root removal on its own, or with a camera survey?
If roots are the only thing wrong, removing them on its own is enough. If they keep coming back, or something else looks wrong, a camera survey is the better use of your money, and we will say so rather than push it.

Root removal and what happens to the drain afterwards
Roots are drawn to a drain because it carries water and, where a joint has shifted or a pipe has cracked, there is a way in. Once inside, they grow along the pipe, and anything else that passes through catches on them. That is why a drain can be cleared, work for a while, and then block again. Cutting the roots out is the first job. Understanding what let them in is the second.
That second job is where we are careful about money. A camera survey is not part of every root removal. We recommend one only where we think it is needed, we explain why, and we price it and agree it with you before it happens. You then get the footage, photos and a written report. If it shows damage, we tell you what the work is and what it costs first, and you decide whether we deal with it now or book it in.
