Emergency Blocked Toilet Services
Fast, safe toilet unblocking when you cannot clear it yourself.
Blocked Toilet Clearance
Toilet blocked and water rising? We use professional toilet augers and drain rods to clear blockages quickly without damaging the toilet pan or pipework.
Foreign Object Removal
Child's toy, wet wipes, nappy or sanitary product flushed down the toilet causing a blockage? We remove foreign objects that cannot be cleared by plunging.
Waste Pipe Unblocking
Blockage in the toilet waste pipe rather than the pan itself? We clear blockages in soil pipes using drain rods and high-pressure water jetting.
Soil Stack Blockage
Blockage in the main soil stack can affect multiple toilets and cause foul smells. We clear soil stack blockages and check for damage or collapsed sections.
Toilet and Drain Blockage
Blockage affecting both the toilet and other drains? This can indicate a blockage further down the drainage system. We diagnose and clear drainage blockages.
Recurring Blockage Investigation
Toilet keeps blocking even after being cleared? We investigate the underlying cause including drain condition, pipe falls and potential damage.

Blocked Toilet FAQs
Common questions about blocked toilet emergencies
What should I do if my toilet is blocked and overflowing?
Do not keep flushing as this will cause the toilet to overflow. Turn off the water supply to the toilet using the isolation valve on the supply pipe. Use a bucket to remove some water if the level is close to the rim. Call us immediately.
Is a blocked toilet a genuine emergency?
Yes, if it is your only toilet in the property. A household without a working toilet is a genuine sanitation emergency. If you have a second toilet in the property it can usually wait for a standard appointment.
Can I use chemical drain unblockers on a blocked toilet?
We do not recommend chemical drain unblockers. They can damage toilet porcelain, plastic pipework, rubber seals and are harmful to the environment. They are rarely effective on toilet blockages.
What causes most toilet blockages?
The most common causes are too much toilet paper used at once, wet wipes (even those labelled flushable), sanitary products, cotton buds, nappies and children's toys. Only human waste and toilet paper should be flushed.
How do you unblock a toilet without damaging it?
We use professional toilet augers with rubber protective sleeves to prevent scratching the porcelain. The auger reaches down into the waste pipe to break up or retrieve the blockage.
Will the blockage come back after you clear it?
If the blockage is caused by debris or a foreign object, clearing it should be a permanent fix. If there is an underlying drain problem we will identify and advise repair options.
