When a toilet becomes blocked, most people try a chemical product to clear it. If a first attempt doesn’t work, be wary of using another one. Mixing different chemicals can damage uPVC drainage pipes. Chemical reactions can take place that could thin pipes by corrosion. Take care using a drain snake as excess force can break a hole in pipes and cause flooding.

Our expert drainage engineers are ready to help with any blocked toilet or soil pipe problems. With years of experience and a range of professional equipment at hand, they can investigate and clear any blockage quickly.

With availability 24/7 we can schedule someone to visit at any time. They’ll fix the issue and provide expert advice on how to avoid future problems.

Essex customer reviews

  • Fast response (less than 3 hours from calling) and friendly service. They cleared the drain and were transparent with their pricing, rather than any surprises at the end. I would use them again and recommend them.

  • The man who came was very efficient and knew exactly what to do. I now have a perfectly clear drain at a very reasonable cost. I was kept informed by phone as he was running a little late. A very efficient company who I would recommend.

Soil Water Rates

Our “soil water” rates apply to toilet waste and underground external pipes, which are usually 110mm in diameter and are also known as secondary drainage. Soil water rates also apply for camera and sewage odour investigations and mini jetting in wastewater pipes.

  • From £78.75 + VAT for late-nights (9pm to 7am)

There’s no extra charge for emergency attendance when we aim to be on-site within 1 hour.

A discount to the half-hourly rate will be applied to your invoice if our tradesperson is on-site for extended hours:

  • Half day (4 hours & more) = 5% off
  • Full day (8 hours & more) = 10% off

Wastewater Rates

We have different “wastewater” rates for work on uPVC pipes, which are approx 40mm in diameter and connected to sinks, baths, showers, washing machines, and dishwashers, also known as primary drainage.

Will flushing clear a blocked toilet?

A clogged or blocked toilet can happen as a result of either the build-up of multiple insoluble items that have been building up over a period of time, or a large amount of material being flushed away at once, toilet paper for example.

If you flush a full cistern of water into a toilet that appears to be blocked you’re taking a risk that the weight of water will be enough to clear the blockage. This is often not the case and the toilet could easily overflow.

For most people, the prospect of trying to clear a blocked toilet isn’t a pleasant one. Even if you have a standard plunger and a pair of rubber gloves at hand. It assumes the blockage is within the trap of the toilet itself. However, more often than not, it’s further down the pipework or in the soil stack.

Our specialist drainage engineers are on call 24/7 to help, no matter what type of blockage you have.
