Blocked Drain in London? Cleared Today, Fixed Price
One slow sink is a nuisance.
A gully overflowing across the yard, or several fixtures backing up at once, means the shared run is blocked, and every flush is now adding to the problem. We rod, jet and survey on the same visit.
Do this now, while you wait
- Stop adding waterNo washing machine, no dishwasher, minimal flushing. Everything you send down now comes up somewhere lower.
- Lift the gully grid if it's surface-blockedLeaves and silt on the grid itself cause a surprising share of “blocked drains”, two minutes with gloves solves those.
- Don't pour caustic chemicalsCaustic soda in standing water makes a hot chemical pond an engineer then has to work through, and most firms charge extra once chemicals are involved.
- Note what backs up whenWhich fixture, how fast, does it gurgle elsewhere, the pattern tells us where in the run the blockage sits before we arrive.
The usual causes
- 01Fat, oil and grease
Cools and sets in the run like candle wax, narrowing the pipe until wipes finish the job.
- 02Wipes and “flushables”
Nothing labelled flushable is flushable. They mat together around any snag and build a plug.
- 03Roots and joints
Tree roots find the joints in older clay runs, common across London's Victorian drainage.
- 04Collapsed or scaled sections
A recurring blockage in the same place is a pipe problem, not a habit problem, that's what the camera is for.
