Which drainage firms offer 24/7 cover?
27 of 56 firms (48%) state on their own website that they take emergency or out-of-hours calls. 0 publish nothing either way — which does not mean they refuse, only that they have not said.
Checked 2026-11-07. Every entry below quotes the firm's own wording and links to the page it came from. "Out-of-hours" is whatever the firm publishes: some answer the phone all night, others divert to an on-call engineer, and a few mean a next-morning call-back. Confirm the actual cut-off time when you ring.

Why the other 0 are "not stated"
Either the site never mentions out-of-hours work, or it blocks automated reading and could not be checked. We record silence as "not stated" rather than "no" — a firm that answers the phone at 2am but never writes it down would otherwise be wrongly excluded. Those firms are still listed on their town pages; ring and ask.
Before you call an out-of-hours number
- Ask whether the callout fee is waived if they carry out the work, and get the total before they start.
- Ask whether the engineer is directly employed or subcontracted — at night, subcontracting is common.
- If the drain is backing up into the property, ask for the firm's public liability cover before work begins.
- Water company sewer flooding may be their responsibility, not yours — check before paying for an emergency callout.
