Signs your sink needs attention

• Water takes longer than usual to drain or remains in the bowl.
• Unpleasant smells come from the plughole.
• The sink gurgles when nearby appliances discharge.
• The blockage returns after you have cleared it.

What causes a blocked sink?

Kitchen sinks commonly collect grease, food debris and soap residue. Bathroom sinks can become restricted by hair, soap and other deposits. A recurring problem may be further along the waste pipe or in the outside drainage system, rather than directly beneath the sink.

How we investigate and clear the blockage

We start by checking the symptoms and accessible pipework to locate the restriction. We then choose a suitable clearing method for the pipe and blockage. Where the problem extends into the drainage system, we can advise on drain cleaning, high-pressure jetting or a CCTV inspection. Once the obstruction is cleared, we check that water flows away properly.

What to do while waiting

Stop using the sink if the water is backing up. Avoid running a connected dishwasher or washing machine into a blocked waste pipe. If you have already used a chemical drain cleaner, tell the engineer before work starts. Keep the area around the sink accessible.

Help for homes and businesses

We help with kitchen sinks, bathroom basins and sink drainage problems in commercial premises. Tell us which fixtures are affected, whether water is backing up elsewhere and whether the issue has happened before, so we can assess the next step.

Frequently asked questions

Can you help with an urgent blocked sink?

Contact our 24/7 team with your location and the symptoms. We will confirm availability and discuss what is needed.

Why does my sink keep blocking?

A returning blockage may indicate remaining deposits, a restriction further along the pipe or a drainage defect. An inspection can help identify the cause rather than repeatedly treating the symptoms.

Do you cover my area?

We cover London, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Essex and Cambridgeshire. Contact us with your town and postcode to confirm service availability.

Keep grease and food waste out of the sink

Collect cooled cooking fats and oils for suitable disposal instead of pouring them into the sink. Scrape food waste from plates and use a sink strainer to catch scraps. Hot water is not a lasting solution to accumulated grease farther along the pipe. If the sink blocks again after clearance, record when it happens and whether a connected appliance or another fixture also backs up. Share those observations without running another cycle to recreate the problem.
