Kitchen Drain Blockages across London

Kitchen drain blockages are among the most common calls we take across London. Fat, grease, food scraps and soap coat the pipe walls over time. The bore narrows until the drain blocks completely.

London's hard water makes this worse. Limescale builds up beside the grease and forms a tough layer. Plungers and shop-bought unblockers cannot shift it. We use high-pressure jetting with grease-cutting nozzles, which scour the pipe walls clean.

We also explain what caused the blockage, so it does not come back. If the kitchen has blocked more than once in a year, the engineer may check the run with a CCTV camera. We can then suggest a grease routine that suits how you use the kitchen.

Restaurants and cafés can keep maintenance records for environmental health checks. Still, when a drain is fully blocked and close to overflowing, we clear the line first. We talk about prevention afterwards.

Small habits help a great deal. Wipe greasy pans before washing, since fat sets hard in cold pipes. Use a sink strainer for food scraps. These steps cost little, yet they slow the build-up that causes most kitchen blockages.

Signs you need kitchen drain blockages help

  • ✓ Kitchen sink draining slowly or gurgling after use
  • ✓ Standing water in the sink that takes minutes to drain
  • ✓ Strong smell from the kitchen drain
  • ✓ Dishwasher draining slowly or backing up
  • ✓ Complete blockage with water not draining at all

Our process

  1. 1. Assess the extent of the blockage — is it in the trap, the waste pipe, or further in the drain run?
  2. 2. Clear trap-level blockages by rodding or chemical softening
  3. 3. For pipe-level blockages, apply high-pressure jetting with a grease-cutting nozzle
  4. 4. Test the full drain run is clear and flowing properly
  5. 5. Advise on grease management to prevent recurrence

Pricing guide

Prices vary because every job differs. Kitchen drain clearing depends on the job. A standard home sink costs less than a commercial kitchen drain that needs jetting over a longer run. Request a quote online, and we confirm the price with you before any work starts.

Kitchen Drain Blockages — frequently asked questions

Can I use chemical drain cleaners on my London kitchen drain?

We do not suggest chemical drain cleaners for regular use. Older London homes often have clay or cast iron pipes, and caustic chemicals can harm them. They may clear grease for a while, but the grease soon forms again. High-pressure jetting works better and is kinder to your pipes.

How often should a London restaurant kitchen drain be cleaned?

Busy restaurant kitchens need regular jetting, and the right gap depends on how much the kitchen cooks. Grease trap care and written cleaning records also matter for environmental health checks. We can talk through a plan when you request a quote.
