What We Clear
Blocked drains are disruptive and can turn unhygienic quickly. We deal with internal and external blockages in homes, rental properties and managed buildings.
- Blocked toilets and slow flushing WCs
- Blocked kitchen sinks and waste pipes
- Shower, bath and basin blockages
- External gullies and inspection chamber issues
- Bad smells from drains or waste pipes
- Recurring blockages in shared drainage runs
How We Unblock Drains
Check The Symptoms
We identify whether the blockage is local to one fitting or affecting the main drain.
Clear The Blockage
We use the right method for the pipework, from hand tools to mechanical drain equipment.
Flush And Test
The line is flushed and checked so we know water is moving properly again.
Prevention Advice
We explain what likely caused the blockage and how to reduce repeat issues.
Blocked Toilet or Main Drain?
If only one toilet or sink is affected, the blockage is often local. If several fixtures are backing up, the issue may be in a shared waste run or external drain. London conversions, HMOs and basement flats often need careful diagnosis because drainage routes can be altered over time.
Emergency Plumbing Questions
Should I stop using water if the drain is blocked?
Yes. Avoid flushing toilets or running taps if water is backing up. This helps prevent overflow and damage while we are on the way.
Can you clear blocked drains in flats?
Yes. We regularly work in flats and conversions where shared waste pipes and access points need careful handling.
Why does my drain keep blocking?
Common causes include scale, fat, wipes, collapsed pipework, poor fall on older drains or shared systems taking too much load.
