Managing a holiday rental in Bournemouth is rewarding — but one blocked drain can ruin your guests’ experience, damage your property, and cost you valuable bookings.
Whether you manage a busy Airbnb in Westbourne or a coastal holiday let in Southbourne, proactive drain maintenance is essential to keep your property running smoothly — and your reviews glowing.
Here’s what every Bournemouth host needs to know 👇
🚨 The Risk of Blocked Drains in Holiday Lets
Holiday rentals face more wear and tear than typical homes. With high turnover, guests may not treat your plumbing with the same care — flushing wipes, pouring grease down sinks, or overusing showers and dishwashers.
Common causes of blocked drains in Bournemouth holiday lets include:
- Hair and soap scum in shower drains
- Food scraps and grease in kitchen sinks
- Wipes and sanitary products in toilets
- Sand from beach-goers washing off indoors
- Tree roots intruding old pipework in period properties
These blockages don’t just cause slow drainage — they can lead to overflowing drains, unpleasant smells, or sewage backups, all of which can result in cancelled bookings and refund requests.
✅ Preventative Maintenance Tips for Hosts
1. Schedule Regular Drain Inspections
A quick visit from our Bournemouth drain unblocking team can identify minor issues before they become major emergencies. We recommend annual checks before peak seasons.
2. Educate Your Guests (Subtly!)
Include gentle reminders in your welcome guide about what not to flush or pour down sinks. Simple signage helps.
3. Use Drain Guards & Filters
Protect your drains from hair, food, and sand by fitting low-cost drain guards in kitchen sinks and showers.
4. Book a Post-Summer Drain Clean
After the busy summer period, a quick high-pressure jet clean helps remove built-up fats, debris, and scale — keeping your pipes flowing freely.
💡 Add CCTV Surveys to Your Maintenance Plan
If your property has older pipework or recurring issues, we recommend a CCTV drain survey. Our engineers will:
- Locate any hidden cracks, tree roots or faults
- Provide a full report with video footage
- Recommend repair or relining options if needed
It’s ideal if you’re planning renovations or switching from long-term lets to short stays.
