Drain rods !! - I mean rods for drains ...

losgiganteskid

I need to get (buy) some drain rods - does anyone know the best (and cheapest) place to get these from please. I know they may only be used very very infrequently, hence I don't really want to spend much. Thanks

Try your local builders merchant they are really helpful. If not try B&Q. We have used ours from time to time and lent them out to friends really useful item.

If you have a Home Bargains near you. It May be worth trying their ,they had some for about £8 or £9
