Our Approach

How we clear a blocked drain

A blocked drain is a diagnosis job as much as a clearing job. Working through it in order means we fix the actual cause rather than just shifting the symptom.

1

Assess the affected fixture and symptoms

We start by looking at what is actually happening — which fixture, how severe, and how long it has been developing.

2

Identify the likely blockage location

Symptoms across multiple fixtures point to different parts of the system, which narrows down where the problem sits.

3

Use appropriate equipment to clear the blockage

The method is matched to the blockage and the pipework, rather than forcing one approach on every job.

4

Check drainage flow after clearing

We run the fixture and confirm the water is draining properly before we consider the job finished.

5

Recommend further investigation if it keeps returning

Repeat blockages usually mean an underlying cause. We will tell you if a deeper look is worth doing.

Prevention Tips

Keep the drains running clear

A few habits prevent most household blockages. They cost nothing and save a callout.

Avoid putting grease and cooking fat down sinks.

Use drain strainers where appropriate.

Do not flush wipes or unsuitable materials.

Address slow drainage before it becomes a full blockage.

Arrange maintenance if you have recurring problems.
