Blocked Toilet Clearance

What blocked toilet clearance covers

Blocked toilets are rarely fixed by guesswork. This service is designed to clear the blockage properly and reduce the chance of it returning.

• Assessment of symptoms (slow draining, gurgling, overflowing, bad smells)
• Locating the likely blockage point in the toilet or immediate waste pipe
• Safe, hygienic clearance using appropriate tools and methods
• Checks to confirm normal flow and a clean, consistent flush
• Practical advice on what caused the problem and how to avoid repeat issues

When this service is most useful

Book blocked toilet clearance if the toilet will not flush, the bowl level rises, wastewater backs up, or plunging has not worked. It is also suitable for recurring blockages, shared soil stacks in flats, and toilets in rental properties or small commercial premises where downtime needs to be minimised.

If there is sewage coming up in other drains, or multiple fixtures are slow, the issue may be further along the drainage run. The visit can still diagnose this and advise on the next step.

What to expect on the day

The plumber will ask a few quick questions about what has been flushed, how long the issue has been happening, and whether other drains are affected. The area is protected for hygiene, then the blockage is cleared using the safest effective approach for your toilet and pipework.

Once cleared, the toilet is flushed and drainage is tested to confirm the blockage has gone. You will be updated on what was found, what was done, and any warning signs to watch for.

Aftercare and preventing repeat blockages

You will get clear guidance on everyday use, suitable paper amounts, and what should never be flushed. If the blockage was caused by a persistent issue (for example scale build-up, pipework defects, or foreign objects), you will be advised on repair options and the most cost-effective way to prevent a repeat call-out.
