Understand where the blockage starts
Let us know which fixtures are affected and whether the problem is isolated or appears in several places. A recurring blockage may need a different approach from a one-off slow drain. Tell us about previous repairs or products already used so we can assess the situation with that context.
Address the cause as well as the symptom
We assess the affected plumbing and explain suitable next steps. The method depends on the type and location of the blockage and the condition of the pipework. If further investigation or repairs are required, we discuss them before adding to the scope.
Keeping drains working
Avoid putting cooking oil, wipes and other unsuitable material into household drains. If a drain repeatedly backs up, arrange an assessment rather than assuming that clearing it again will solve the underlying issue. Contact us to discuss the symptoms and confirm service availability.
