1. Can you unblock a toilet?
Yes. We clear blocked toilets quickly and safely in both domestic and commercial properties.
Toilets commonly become blocked by excessive toilet paper, wet wipes, sanitary products, or foreign objects that should not be flushed. Continuing to use a blocked toilet can cause it to overflow and lead to water damage.
We will identify the cause of the blockage, clear it using the most appropriate method, and check that the waste pipe is flowing correctly before leaving.
2. Why does my sink keep blocking?
A sink that repeatedly blocks usually indicates a build-up within the waste pipe rather than a one-off blockage.
Kitchen sinks often become blocked by grease, cooking oils, and food waste, while bathroom sinks are commonly affected by soap residue, toothpaste, and hair.
We can identify the cause, remove the blockage, and offer advice to help prevent the problem from returning.
3. Can you clear an outside drain?
Yes. We clear blocked external drains, gullies, and surface water drains.
Outdoor drains can become blocked by leaves, mud, moss, litter, grease, or tree roots. If left untreated, blocked drains may cause standing water, unpleasant smells, or localised flooding.
We will inspect the drainage system, remove the obstruction, and ensure the drain is flowing freely again.
4. Do you remove drain blockages caused by grease?
Yes. Grease is one of the most common causes of blocked kitchen drains.
Over time, fats, oils, and grease can harden inside the pipework, gradually reducing water flow until the drain becomes completely blocked.
We can remove the blockage safely and recommend simple ways to reduce grease build-up in the future.
5. Can tree roots damage drains?
Yes. Tree roots naturally seek out moisture and can enter small cracks or damaged joints in underground drainage pipes.
Once inside the pipe, the roots continue to grow, restricting water flow and potentially causing serious structural damage if left untreated.
If tree roots are suspected, we can investigate the drainage system and recommend the most suitable repair.
6. What causes bad smells from drains?
Unpleasant drain odours are commonly caused by trapped food waste, grease build-up, stagnant water, or partially blocked pipework.
In some cases, damaged pipework or problems with the drainage ventilation system may also contribute to persistent smells.
We can inspect the drainage system, identify the cause, and carry out the necessary repairs or cleaning.
