Toilet unblocking for London homes, including Victorian properties with older plumbing.
Most toilet blockages sit in the pan or the join between the pan and the soil pipe. Our engineers clear blockages at every level, from the pan outlet to the main drain run. We then explain the cause and how to prevent it.
Every engineer brings floor sheets, drain rods and a portable inspection camera. We can usually find and fix the blockage in one visit, without mess or return trips. We cover all London boroughs.
We always run the full flush cycle and flush several more times before we leave. You can then trust that the fault is fixed, rather than a quick rod that might fail within hours.
Some blockages sit deep in the soil pipe or a shared stack, which is common in upper-floor flats. In that case, we may need access to external inspection chambers. Some buildings also need the freeholder's permission to reach communal pipes. We explain the access need before work begins, so you know what is involved and what it will cost.
Some habits cause repeat blockages. Only toilet paper should go down the toilet, because wipes, cotton buds and sanitary items do not break down. After the visit, we explain what we found. We hope that helps you avoid a repeat call.
Prices vary because every job differs. Domestic toilet unblocking depends on the job. A standard blockage costs differently from an emergency job out of hours. Request a quote online, and we confirm the price with you before any work starts.
If a plunger does not work, the blockage is probably past the U-bend, in the soil pipe or main drain. This is common in London flats, because the toilet often joins a shared stack that serves several floors. You need drain rods or jetting equipment to clear it.
