Trusted. Local. Done Right
Kent & Medway's Trusted Emergency Trade Team
Most blocked drains in Gillingham don't need excavation or drama they need someone who finds the actual cause before quoting for work. That's how First Fix Response operates. We're a local Medway team of named engineers covering Gillingham and the ME7 and ME8 postcodes, and on most jobs the first move is simply seeing what's going on: a camera down the drain and an honest read on whether it's a quick clear or something sitting in the pipe.
Sometimes it's a few minutes with the rods; sometimes it's a repair. Either way, you'll know which and why, before we lift a tool.

BLOCKED DRAIN REPAIRS IN GILLINGHAM
Kent & Medway's Trusted Emergency Trade Team
Not every recurring blockage is dirt in the pipe. When a Gillingham drain backs up in the same spot time after time, the pipe itself is often the culprit a hairline crack, a joint that's dropped, roots working their way in.
We clear the immediate problem first, then tell you honestly whether that's the end of it or the start of something. If a repair is genuinely needed, you'll see the evidence on screen before we recommend spending a penny.
A Gillingham customer called about a blocked drain. Rather than guess, we ran a CCTV survey to see exactly what we were dealing with the footage showed it needed rodding rather than anything more involved.
We rodded it clear the same day and the drain was running properly again: one visit, no digging, no upsell to work that wasn't needed.
CCTV DRAIN SURVEYS IN GILLINGHAM
Local, Trusted Emergency Trade Team
We put a camera down the drain before we assume anything. On a recent Gillingham job, that survey was the difference between guessing and knowing it showed the blockage only needed rodding, not the bigger repair the customer feared.
A CCTV survey is worth doing whenever a drain keeps blocking in the same place, before you buy a house with older pipework, or when nobody can say for certain whose drain is even at fault. You get the footage and a plain answer, not a scare story.
BLOCKED TOILETS AND SINKS IN CHATHAM
Local, Trusted Emergency Trade Team
A blocked toilet isn't always the toilet's fault. Often the real problem is further downstream in the drain, which is why we check the whole run rather than just plunging and hoping particularly if a sink or gully is gurgling at the same time.
We find where it's actually stuck, clear it, and tell you plainly whether it was a one-off or worth keeping an eye on.

Frequently Asked Questions
See a list below of our frequently asked questions from our local Rochester customers
Do you charge a call-out fee in Gillingham?
No, nothing just for coming to look, and a clear price agreed before any work.
How fast can you reach a blocked drain in Gillingham?
Same-day where we can, across ME7 and ME8, call and we'll give you an honest time.
My drain keeps blocking in the same place — why?
That usually points to a pipe fault, not loose debris. A CCTV survey shows the cause so it's fixed once, not monthly.
Can you repair a drain without digging up my garden?
Often not many faults are rodded, jetted or relined from inside the pipe. We only dig when there's no alternative, and we'll tell you why.
Do you cover the areas around Gillingham?
Yes, Rainham, Wigmore, Twydall, Hempstead and Parkwood are all on our patch.
