How do I know my sink is blocked?

You might notice a bad smell coming from the plughole or hear a loud gurgling sound when the water is draining. When the water starts draining very slowly or even stops, this is an obvious sign that there's a blockage. Once you do know that there's a blockage - give us a call. We'll get it removed for you as soon as we can.

What causes a blocked sink?

We've found bottle tops, jewellery, watches, contact lense cases, broken toothbrushes and several other household items blocking up sinks. Usually, kitchen sinks get blocked by scraps of food. In the bathroom it's generally hair!

How can I prevent a blocked sink?

OK, start by removing food from the plate before washing it down the plug. Get a waste disposal machine. Don't pour fat and grease down the sink. Remove hair from the plughole after you've showered. Finally, install traps in the plugs. These catch food scraps and hair and can be emptied easily.

We pride ourselves on our open and honest pricing - there are no hidden charges and we even charge in 15 minute intervals after the first hour. You won't find many plumbing and drainage companies with a pricing policy like that! Take a look at our pricing list for a guide on how much you can expect to pay.

We also have a price comparison tool, that enables you to check our prices against our main competitors. For larger projects such drain repair, drain excavation or drain lining we can provide you with a fixed price and what's more, the quotation is free!
