Blocksaway often gets called out at night and this was just such a case in St. Ives (Cambs).

Steve was attending a domestic dwelling with a blocked main and  was tracking the run of the drains and manhole covers as best he could with a powerful torch.

Imagine his surprise when he shone it down a gulley with a missing cover to be confronted by 2 small glowing eyes! Further investigation revealed a hedgehog which had fallen in during its nighttime ramblings and got well and truly trapped.

Wearing his Blocksaway drain cleaning gloves made it an easy task for Steve to free up the gulley and release the bedraggled creature, which trotted off apparently none the worse for wear!

Steve also cleared the blockage in the main drain, but that’s another story!
