Soil Stack and Vent Pipe Repairs: Leaks, Blockages and Gurgling in Coventry

Gurgling traps and slow waste point at a blocked or badly vented stack, not the basin. Cracked collars, slipped push-fit joints and failed pan connectors let smells and water escape behind the boxing. We access the stack, clear the blockage, renew the damaged section in solvent-weld pipe and check the vent is drawing properly before boxing back in.

How the price works

We charge a booking fee to hold your slot, then an hourly rate for the work itself. The fee changes with how soon you need us; the hourly rate changes with the slot you choose. You approve the price before we start, so there is no surprise on the invoice.

What our customers say about our soil stacks & vent pipes service

4.2 out of 5 from 5 reviews

Fast, tidy and friendly

Turned up in the window they promised, walked me through the options (turns out the part had to be sourced locally), then cracked on. Everything was tested before they left. No mess, no drama, no surprise on the bill.

Job: Standing Water in Shower Tray

Happy overall

Good job overall. Turned up about 15 minutes after the window started, but rang to say so, and the work itself was tidy and well explained. Price was as quoted.

Job: Partial Soil Stack Blockage

Fixed it, but took longer than expected

The problem is fixed, which is the main thing, and the engineer clearly knew what they were doing. It took a fair bit longer than the estimate on the phone and I had to ask twice for a breakdown of the hours.

Job: Surface Water Drain Maintenance

Fixed it properly, not just patched

Third time we have used Maintenance Men, and the same experience each time: agreed price, proper explanation, job done in one visit. The hourly rate is fair for the standard of work.

Job: Garden Flooding

Does what it says on the tin

Solid work. Hourly rate feels fair for the amount of work involved and everything was tested before they left. Would book again.

Job: Blocked Soakaway System
