Approved drain company unblocking toilets in London

Why might someone in London need a blocked toilet unblocked?

Toilet not flushing

If the waste in your toilet won't flush or it keeps filling, then the waste line may be blocked and needs clearing properly.

Toilet overflowing

If the water level is rising or overflowing, it's time to act fast to prevent permanent damage to your bathroom floor & fittings.

Water backing up

Water returning into the toilet pan (or bubbling) can indicate a blockage further down the line, even in an external drain.

Repeated blockages

If the toilet keeps blocking, there is usually an underlying cause (maybe scale) that needs identifying and fixing.

Other bathroom fittings affected

If the bathroom sink, bath or shower are also affected, the problem may not be in the actual toilet, but in an outside drain.

Bad smells from the toilet

Persistent odours can be caused by partial blockages, venting issues or negative flow in the waste pipework.

What is the most common reason for a blocked toilet?

Our engineers in London clear hundreds of blocked toilets each year and these are the reasons that most often get mentioned in their reports, some predictable, others not so.

NON-FLUSHABLE ITEMS
The number one reason for getting toilets blocked is wet wipes (even "flushable" wipes), feminine hygeine products, cotton buds, dental floss, paper towels and make up pads.

EXCESSIVE TOILET PAPER
Using too much toilet tissue (especially the quilted variety) at one time can overwhelm the system, particularly in older London homes with narrower pipes or in low-flow toilets.

FOREIGN OBJECTS
In London homes with children, toys often appear, lodged in the toilet pipework. Air fresheners that attach to the toilet rim frequently fall off and get stuck in the u bend.

SCALE BUILD UP
In hard water areas like London, minerals such as magnesium and calcium can deposit scale inside the pipes. This buildup reduces the bore of the pipe, causing blockages
