Expert drain unblocking across all London boroughs. All blockage types cleared, from sinks to main drain runs.
We fix a steady set of problems across London properties. We explain the cause first, because you should know why it happened before we agree any work.
Every visit follows the same steps. As a result, you get the same standard of work whether the job is a quick clearance or a detailed survey.
A blocked drain can sit at a sink, a bath, a toilet or an outdoor gully. We start by finding where the blockage is. Then we choose the method that suits the pipe. Rods clear simple blockages, while high-pressure jetting clears grease, scale and roots.
We cover kitchen, bathroom and outdoor blockages, and each has its own page below. Kitchen drains clog with grease. Bathroom drains clog with hair and scale. Outdoor drains clog with leaves, soil and roots.
A drain that blocks again at the same spot may have a structural fault. A displaced joint, a crack or roots can all catch waste. Clearing the drain again and again will not fix the fault.
In that case, we suggest a CCTV drain survey. It shows what is wrong inside the pipe, so you can choose the right repair. If you want to compare options, see our drain repairs page.
We assess the symptoms and find the likely blockage point. Then we lift the nearest manhole or use CCTV access to confirm it, because we want to be sure before we clear anything.
We clear the drain with the right method for the problem. As a result, you avoid under-clearing, which leads to repeat blockages, and over-clearing, which you do not need.
We give practical advice to reduce repeat blockages. While every drain differs, simple habits and regular care help.
Watch for slow water at sinks, baths and showers. A gurgling sound when water runs elsewhere is another sign. So is a bad smell from drain outlets, or water backing up in a toilet, shower or sink. In severe cases, water or sewage comes up through outside manholes or floor gullies.
For a small blockage in a sink trap or toilet U-bend, a plunger can work. For a blockage in the main drain run, professional jetting works far better. It is also less likely to damage older London pipework.
