Blocked Toilets in Ealing

Common blocked toilets problems in Ealing

• ✓ Wipes and sanitary products blocking cast-iron soil stacks in Acton and West Ealing terraces, where older stacks have a narrow bore
• ✓ Pan and U-bend blockages in large Edwardian family homes, often from too much toilet paper or objects
• ✓ Shared soil stack blockages in converted Victorian terraces across Hanwell and West Ealing
• ✓ Scale and sludge in older low-flush cisterns in Northolt and Greenford, which weaken the flush
• ✓ Roots in the garden drain run backing up through the toilet, particularly near the Grand Union Canal and tree-lined streets

Our approach in Ealing

First, we find out whether the blockage is in the toilet or part of a wider drain issue. For pan blockages, specialist tools clear the obstruction without damaging the ceramic. For soil stack problems, we check from roof level and the nearest inspection chamber. We clear drain run blockages from the outside manhole with high-pressure jetting. Before we leave, we test the flush and explain the cause.

Local tip: In converted Victorian terraces around West Ealing, Hanwell and the streets off Uxbridge Road, a toilet that blocks repeatedly may point to the shared soil stack. If more than one flat is affected, or the blockage returns within weeks, the stack is the likely cause. A CCTV inspection of the stack and drain run finds the issue, and it prevents needless repeat call-outs.
