Send the online enquiry form with your postcode and a short description. We then reply with a fixed price before any work begins, and there is no call-out fee.
Potters Bar is in the Hertsmere district of Hertfordshire. Wikipedia says it stayed a small farming settlement until the railway arrived in 1850. Its population then grew from 13,681 in 1939 to 24,613 in 1971. As a result, many homes date from the twentieth century.
The EN6 postcode also covers South Mimms, Cuffley and Northaw. These places sit in different council areas, and not every home is on the mains sewer. If you are unsure, check with your water company. For example, a pipe that serves only your property is usually yours to maintain.
A blockage in a shared pipe is often the water company's job. A blockage inside your boundary is usually yours. Since 1 October 2011, most shared drains outside the boundary belong to the water company. Therefore, check who owns the pipe before you pay for work.
Our guide to who is responsible for blocked sewage explains the rules. If a sewer pipe has a blockage, read how to unblock a blocked sewer pipe. For basement flooding, see what to do about sewer backup.
For an urgent job, see our emergency drain unblocking service. For a routine blockage, see our blocked drains service.
