    This is the kind of video we need. Plain facts without cringeworthy hype and poxy loud music. Good on ya mate, you're a breath of fresh air.
  • I watched your video,went to B&Q and got the rods,did exactly what you told us to do, and after locating the hole,managed to clear the blocked drain,much to the amazement of my husband and 2 sons. Excellent advice,you saved us an expensive call out.
  • Dereton33 is an absolute diamond of a fella, not many of his sort around these days anymore. More knowledge and experience than a stack of encyclopaedia. Much love and respect to you 🙏🏽❤️

    So many years later and you're still helping people - recently moved, horrendous blockage in the outside drain. Watched your video, got the rods out, and boom! Fixed and all running smoothly again. A million thanks to you!
  • @normanshafty
    You Sir have saved me a pretty penny. Thank you for uploading this.
  • Videos like these really help people understand more about the plumbing and maintanence of the home. I went down to Screwfix, got the bits - done the job within half an hour. Thanks - and yeah, totally agree—no jump cuts, needless intro or rubbish stock music. Lovely stuff. Do more, people love it!

    Hi Alan, I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to put these videos up they've been a great help for us to find and fix the problem that was causing our drains to block up! I can see you've got a donate section on your own website so I'll be sending one over shortly. Thanks again, Dave.
  • This video saved me a fortune. After watching it I bought a set of drain rods which was a fraction of the price of a call out. Worked a treat. Thank you.
  • @jamielee7835
    Thanks so much for sharing this useful tutorial! It helped me unblocked the main drain of my house, and saved me hundreds pounds! Donated 10 quid. Good Job!
  • @enidkapelsen3694
    Mate, you're the best! Had tried everything to fix exactly this problem. Bought the rod kit, tried the screw back up from the main drain, nothing. Saw this video just before calling professional help, and your single rod/plunger trick cleared it in 5 minutes. I owe you a pint or two!
  • @redjoe2834
    I am from America and never seen toilet system like that or a plunger like that. Looks like you save more water then we do. I learned something new today :)
  • @timo57890
    I didn't have anything else so I just used a broom stick and one small prod and the whole drain unblocked. Thanks for this video, you just saved me a ton of money!
  • This couple are brilliant .They have helped me with loads of things ,from the Halogen oven to all types of plumbing tips .Keep up the good work you two . keith
  • @peterryan7827
    A great tip for all householders and the tightening of the rods together is just so important, Just one other point I would make is to keep a very good grip on the rods at all times,I once had a 6ft deep manhole that i was clearing and the suction took the rods right out of my hand, Happily, they were just in a good position for me to rescue them when the drain emptied,So yes keep a good grip, Brilliant video once again.
  • Thankyou so much for posting this video. Went down to BnQ too, bought the rods and unblocked the drain myself! Took 15-20 minutes and saved me £175!!! EXTREMELY proud of myself. :)
  • @jackeade2747
    A big thank you. I suspected my sewer outlet was blocked for a few days as the toilet was slow to empty and when the bath was draining the toilet started to bubble. Having watched you video, I knew for certain and went off to Wickes and bought a drain rod starter kit for £23. After using your plunger technique, away it all went and now I have a nice clean and clear sewer pipe outside my house. Thanks to your video I have saved myself a lot of money because I was about to call for someone to come and jet my drain for me which would have cost a fortune compared to the minor purchase of the drain rods. Added bonus is I now have the kit in my garage in case I ever have to do it again
  • @lostboy8814
    Great tutorial,....I'm about to 'go over the top' this afternoon with my rods,great tip on tightening them first with a wrench,had'nt thought of that one,thank you so much.
  • @kbinbkk5039
    Spot on. I watched your video, borrowed some rods from work and followed your method to the letter. Result - unblocked manhole main drain in seconds! Not a pleasant task but thank you very much.
  • @Greyskull1988
    This is a incredible video. I think you kept it short and simple but explained in depth, well done 👍🏻
  • @CustomSouls
