Can I unblock a drain myself?
Attempting to unblock a drain yourself can be extremely difficult if you cannot see the cause of the problem.
In most cases, homeowners will be unsuccessful at attempting to unblock drains themselves.
This is why professional drain experts use CCTV equipment to fully inspect drains to safely and thoroughly detect the exact location of the blockage causing the backlog.
By doing so, we can assess the condition of your drains and discover any potential defects, collapsed pipework, root damage or extreme blockages.
If your drainage issue is severe, purchased over the counter drain chemicals simply won't do the job.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do professionals unblock drains?
Plumbers use various tools to clear blockages, including manual and motorized drain snakes, high-definition cameras, and hydro-jetting machines. These advanced tools quickly and effectively tackle even the toughest clogs.
What liquid do plumbers use to unclog drains?
Plumbers often use hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid) for tough clogs. It breaks down organic material in drains, helping to clear blockages fast. However, it's highly corrosive and should be handled with care.
How much does it cost to unblock a drain?
The cost typically ranges from £80 to £250, depending on the severity of the blockage and other factors. It's an essential part of home maintenance, but prices can vary.
Will a clogged drain eventually clear itself?
A minor clog might clear up on its own, but it’s best to get your drains jetted or rodded to prevent recurring issues and fully clear any leftover obstructions.
Why avoid using baking soda and vinegar to unclog drains?
Baking soda can scratch your pipes, and vinegar's acidity may damage rubber or metal plumbing parts. It's best to leave the tough jobs to professionals.
Will bleach unclog my drain?
Bleach won’t dissolve common drain blockages like hair or grease and can damage your pipes over time. It’s not an effective or safe solution for clearing clogs.
Can I pour boiling water down the drain?
It is not recommended to put boiling hot water down a drain, as it is highly likely to crack a porcelain toilet or sink. Pouring boiling water down a blocked drain will only cause issues later on, such as moving deposits of grease and oil further into the pipework, making it stick to the side of the drain lining.
What should I avoid flushing down my drains?
Avoid flushing food scraps, wet wipes, sanitary items, grease, stickers, antifreeze, eggshells, and coffee grounds. Use strainers or a food waste disposal to prevent blockages, and run hot water weekly to clear grease buildup.
