Blocked Sink Clearance

What blocked sink clearance includes

Blocked sinks are often caused by a build-up of grease, food waste, soap residue, or debris. This service focuses on removing the blockage safely and getting your sink back to normal.

• Checks to confirm the blockage and assess how severe it is
• Locating the likely position and cause of the restriction
• Clearing the blockage using suitable tools and methods
• Testing the sink and waste to confirm free-flowing drainage
• Practical advice to reduce the risk of repeat blockages

When this service is right for you

This service is a good fit if the sink is draining slowly, gurgling, or backing up when you run the tap. It is also appropriate if there is an unpleasant smell from the plughole, or if water overflows when using a dishwasher or washing machine connected to the same waste.

How the clearance is carried out

The work starts with a quick assessment of the symptoms and recent usage, then a check of the waste and trap area. The blockage is cleared using the least disruptive approach first, stepping up only if needed. Once cleared, the sink is tested to ensure the flow has returned to normal and the problem is resolved.

Aftercare and preventing repeat blockages

After clearance, you will be told what most likely caused the issue and what to change day to day. Simple steps, such as managing fats and food scraps and using strainers, can significantly reduce repeat call-outs. If there are signs of a deeper issue, you will be advised on the next sensible step.
