Sink unblocking
Sink Unblocking in London
Kitchen and bathroom sinks cleared properly, including the waste run beyond the trap where most of the real problem sits.
A slow sink is usually a warning rather than an emergency, but ignoring it leads to a full blockage at the worst possible moment. Clearing the trap is easy, clearing the run behind it is the part that lasts.
- Kitchen, utility and bathroom waste cleared
- Cause identified rather than just the symptom
- Jetting available where the run is heavily fouled
- Clean working, no mess left behind
Why kitchen sinks block
Fat and oil poured down the sink cools in the pipe and sets, then catches food waste, coffee grounds and detergent scum. What starts as a thin film ends as a solid plug.
Bathroom basins and baths
Hair bound together with soap and product residue is the usual culprit. Where several bathrooms share a stack, the restriction is often further down than the fitting that is misbehaving.
Preventing the next one
Scrape plates, wipe pans with kitchen roll before washing, use a strainer, and pour fat into a container to cool rather than down the sink.
