UK plumbing company offering 24/7 service collapses into administration after 9 years
BTG Begbies Traynor’s Constantinos Pedhiou and Yiannis Koumettou were appointed as joint administrators after the company could not pay its debts.
- United Drains entered administration on October 16 after nine years in business, with Constantinos Pedhiou and Yiannis Koumettou of BTG Begbies Traynor appointed as joint administrators, according to The Gazette.
- When a company enters administration, it means it is unable to pay expenses, debts, or other liabilities, according to SquareUp; the Insolvency Act 1986 defines it as a legal process aimed at rescuing viable insolvent businesses.
- United Drains Ltd provided 24/7 plumbing and drainage services across the UK since 2017, offering emergency plumbing, drain unblocking, and CCTV surveys with "immediate support without the hassle of call centers."
- A statutory moratorium provides "breathing space" for financial restructuring free from creditor enforcement, while daily management shifts to the administrators, who must formulate proposals within 8 weeks.
- This development follows a challenging year for UK business, with numerous retailers, travel companies, and service providers entering administration or liquidation throughout 2026, reflecting sustained economic pressures.
