Types of Blocked Sink We Clear
Whatever type of sink or basin is blocked we can clear it.
Kitchen Sink Unblocking
Kitchen sinks blocked by food waste, cooking fat and grease that has solidified in the trap and waste pipe. We clear the trap and rod the waste pipe to restore proper drainage.
Bathroom Basin Unblocking
Bathroom basins blocked by a build up of soap scum, toothpaste, hair and general debris in the trap. We remove and clean the trap or rod through it.
Utility Room Sink Unblocking
Utility room and laundry sinks blocked by lint, dirt and detergent residue from washing. We clear the trap and waste pipe and check the appliance hose connections.
Double Sink Unblocking
Blockages in kitchen sinks with two bowls sharing a common waste. If one side is blocked it usually affects both. We clear the shared trap and waste pipe.
Washing Machine Waste Blockage
The standpipe or spigot where your washing machine or dishwasher waste connects can block with lint and debris. We clear the connection and waste pipe.
External Sink Unblocking
Blocked utility sinks in garages, outbuildings and garden areas. These often connect to external drainage which can also be blocked. We clear the sink and check the external drain.

Blocked Sink FAQs
Common questions about blocked sink clearance
Why does my kitchen sink keep blocking?
Kitchen sinks block because fat, oil and grease poured down the sink solidifies inside the waste pipe. Food scraps, coffee grounds and starchy water from pasta and rice add to the build up. Over time the pipe narrows until water cannot pass.
Can I unblock a sink myself?
You can try a sink plunger first. If that does not work do not keep pouring chemical drain cleaner down a completely blocked sink as it sits on top of the water and does not reach the blockage. Call us instead.
What should I avoid putting down the sink?
Never pour cooking fat, oil or grease down the sink. Scrape food scraps into the bin. Avoid putting coffee grounds, eggshells, pasta, rice and flour down the sink. Use a sink strainer to catch debris.
How do you clear a bathroom basin blockage?
Bathroom basin blockages are usually in the trap. We remove the basin trap, clean out the hair and soap debris, refit it and test the drainage. Most basin blockages are cleared in fifteen to twenty minutes.
Will you need to take the pipes apart?
Yes, removing the trap is the fastest and most effective way to clear a blocked sink. We have the tools and experience to remove and refit traps without damaging the pipework or causing leaks.
Can a blocked sink cause a leak?
Yes. If the blockage causes water to back up it can seep from poorly sealed joints and connections. If a trap is leaking we can replace the seals or the trap at the same visit.
