Rods Away is a family-run drainage and plumbing business helping homeowners, landlords and businesses across South Wales. Whether your toilet won’t clear, your outside drain is overflowing or a pipe has started leaking, you can speak directly to Jonie about the next step.
We provide drain unblocking, high-pressure water jetting, CCTV drain inspections and general plumbing repairs. We’ll explain the proposed work and applicable charges so you know what to expect before proceeding.
Drain Unblocking for Your Home or Business
A slow-draining sink, unpleasant smell or rising toilet water can be the first sign of a blockage. We investigate the problem and choose an appropriate method to try to get things flowing again.
We help with:
- Outside drains and gullies — overflowing drains and standing water.
- Toilets and waste pipes — water rising, draining slowly or failing to clear.
- Kitchen sinks — blockages involving grease, food waste and other build-up.
- Bathroom sinks, baths and showers — blockages involving hair, soap and everyday debris.
Depending on the problem, we can use drain rodding or high-pressure water jetting to work on the blockage. Tell Jonie what you’ve noticed and whether more than one toilet, sink or drain is affected.
Drain Jetting and CCTV Inspections
High-pressure water jetting can help remove suitable blockages and build-up within drains. We’ll assess the problem and discuss the appropriate approach.
If a drain keeps blocking, a CCTV inspection may help identify what is happening inside the pipework and guide the next steps. We’ll discuss whether an inspection is appropriate and explain any separate charges before proceeding.
Some drainage problems need further investigation or repairs rather than another clearance attempt. We’ll explain our findings and discuss your options.
Commercial Drainage Support
We help businesses and commercial premises with blocked toilets, sinks, outside drains and recurring drainage problems.
When you call, please have the property address, access arrangements and details of the blockage ready. We’ll discuss availability and confirm the applicable charges before booking.
We can provide invoices and proof of public liability insurance on request.
Plumbing Repairs
We also help with everyday plumbing repairs and urgent leaks, including:
- Leaking and burst pipes.
- Toilets that won’t flush properly.
- Leaking cisterns and overflows.
- Tap repairs and replacements.
- Sink connections and waste-pipe leaks.
- Kitchen and bathroom plumbing repairs.
We’ll discuss the problem, assess what needs doing and explain the proposed repair and charges. Any additional parts or work will be agreed with you before proceeding.
